So I was asked this by my friends kid. Would you rather live in the most boring place in the world, or be a hat? So to spice it up a little here are some rules.

If you live in the most boring place in the world: you can never leave, everything you do there and everyone else there is boring, you all live in a perpetual state of boredom.

If you choose to be a hat: you are not magical and can not talk, to anyone not a hat you are just a regular hat. If other hat people are around you can talk with them, but you don’t know if there are other hat people until you are a hat so you might be alone. You can be any kind of hay you want

So lemmy I ask again, would you rather live in the most boring place in the world, or be a hat? And if you are really feeling spicy why?

    Hat.

    Boredom on that level would be torture. Ruin all relationships and all hobbies.

    As a hat i get to see the world, provided my wearer travels and I’m not just stuck in a shelf for years.

    Also afaik a hat is immortal. Silently observing the world until eventually scrapped and burned in a recycling yard.

      I was going to say that boredom is the obvious answer, but you make hat sound pretty good. I do love to travel. I would probably end up being the hat on the guy who chooses boredom.

      I tried to keep some things vague so people could have fun with rules like hat immortality. I wonder if boredom is too strict. I guess we’ll see.

        Yeah the way boredom is defined here it would basically mean no happiness ever again. At least the way I read it
