Goodbye TV. I’ve already cut the cord on cable TV – I only watch stuff on streaming or rental, which makes it easier not to get caught in the six hours of watching random junk trap. Though it seems like TV and the Internet are increasingly becoming the same thing, so maybe this question will soon be moot?
Always take a cold shower or sleep an hour less than you need to be fully rested?
I’ll take the cold shower. I can handle a cold shower. But I need my sleep.
Be invisible or be able to read minds?
Invisibility, for sure. Can you imagine how terrible it would be to hear all of the rude, awful, miserable thoughts that flit through people’s brains every second? Sure, there would be good things too, and sometimes the power would be useful, but I think mostly it would be a curse. Invisibility, on the other hand? Super awesome.
Speak any language fluently or able to talk to animals?
I have a sneaky suspicion that animals would be pretty boring conversationalists. I doubt they have much to talk about. People, on the other hand, are endlessly fascinating. And being able to have a fluent conversation with anyone on Earth from anywhere, in any culture, would be amazing.
Would you rather be a deep sea diver or an astronaut?
Astronaut. There’s a part of me that desperately wants to explore the space beyond our planet. The deep ocean is fascinating too, and there are probably more actual things down there to discover (space is pretty big and empty), but the universe just calls to me. I’d take that opportunity in a heartbeat.
One wish granted today or three wishes granted in 10 years?
Three wishes in 10 years. I can wait. Of course, this depends on if I can use the one wish to wish for infinite wishes? If so, then I’ll take one wish now.
Have x-ray vision or bionic hearing?
If you’ve ever had a noisy neighbor or a stereo with a damaged, buzzing capacitor, you’ll know why I don’t want bionic hearing. Constant annoyance. I’ll go with x-ray vision, thank you.
