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?

    Being a hat, without any possibility of creating or interact seem like hell itself in its own right,

    It could also easily be as boring as the boring choice.

    Turning into inanimate object to live forever

    I’d be surprised if the average hat really lives all that long.

    I’m with you in choosing the boring life. Also, if worse comes to worse you can just off yourself. Not an option as a hat.

    With how much war, malnutrition and unfairness and wealth inequality in the world, I wonder how many people would see at least the boring choice as a massive upgrade over the status quo? I’d guess it’s probably a lot.
