All of us, at one point or another, have experienced the moment when we have to choose between the devil and the deep sea. While most of the time, the situation leaves us panicked and perplexed, it is in moments like these that reveal who we truly as human beings are.
It makes us think about what we value the most; be it love or money, family or job, or even just coffee over tea or brownies over doughnuts.
Therefore, we have prepared a list of questions that you can ask your friends to have a fun and deep conversation. You can also ask yourself these questions and you might be able to understand your own choices a little bit better.

Funny Would You Rather Questions
Rather than being serious, it’s always enthralling to continue a conversation with some humorous and funny questions. For example, would you rather fly in a plane with your head outside the window or swim with your eyes completely shut?
While answering such a funny question, you might end up imagining your head amidst clouds at an altitude and temperature unimaginable.
You may laugh at each other for looking like a white walker for preferring to stick your head outside the window or otherwise you or your friends will end up in a shark's mouth for swimming with eyes completely shut.

Would You Rather Travel Questions
Would you rather time travel or travel around the world in 80 days?
I want time travel as well as travel the world in 80 days or maybe more. Secretly, I wish to travel and get hold of time travel so that I keep on rewinding that time and keep on going back there.
All of us love to travel from time to time, and most probably each one has dreamed about traveling the whole world and knowing more places side by side, meeting new people, and going on some adventure.
Besides these dreams, it is necessary to know about the choices of the bunch of people traveling with you, in order to make the trip a success and of course, more memorable.
Propose the listed questions to your traveling buddies before you get on the road and get some recommendations.
- Would you rather visit the mountains or visit the sea?
