Zobmondo
These are "choice" questions. The rules of Zobmondo are that you have to choose one answer - you can't say "neither." You must also take the question as it is - no changing the questions!

Would you rather have to suck all the ink out of a ballpoint pen or paint your tongue with Wite-Out?

Would you rather drink a gallon of used hot dog water or a shot glass of someone else's foot sweat?

Would you rather always wear shoes that are a half size too small or always have your underwear creeping up your butt?

Would you rather always be nauseated or always have a headache?

Would you rather have to always eat standing up or always enter your car from the passenger door?

Today's questions are or are inspired by famous thought experiments:

The trolley problem and other thought experiments

What is your response to Philippa Foot's infamous trolley problem? (For those who don't know, the problem is thus: "A trolley (or train, if you prefer) is running out of control down a track. In its path are five people who have been tied to the track by a mad philosopher. Fortunately, you could flip a switch, which will lead the trolley down a different track to safety. Unfortunately, there is a single person tied to that track. Should you flip the switch or do nothing?") Why should/why shouldn't you flip the switch?

What if the only way to stop the trolley from killing five people would be to physically push someone into its path? Should you push that person or leave them be? Why/why not?

What if the person on the other track is a child? Should you flip the switch or do nothing? What if you had to physically push the child instead of flipping a switch? Why/why not?

A sailor builds a ship and names it Vessel of Theseus. He takes it on a long voyage and along the way, he is forced to repair it with new parts at every port. By the time he reaches home again, not a single piece of the original ship remains attached. Having lost all its original pieces, is it still the same ship? Why or why not?

What if the original pieces of the Vessel of Theseus were then gathered up and used to build another ship, christened Hobbes' Way? Which ship (if either) is the original Vessel? Why?

3. Your favourite vacation spot. Describe exactly where the picture is taken. What's special about this place?
4. Your bedroom or favourite room in your home. Explain or tell a story about some of the items in the room.

ETA :: We have a full complement now.

It's been quite a while since we last made a request like this.

We have positions open for additional moderators for

thefridayfive. Preferably we would like 2-3 people to add to our ranks at this time.

What does being a mod for this community entail? Primarily, you'll be responsible for 1 Friday a month to post the question set for everyone to utilize. This can come from the suggestions post on either DW or LJ, or you can make up your own set. You can answer mod-type questions in your entries, or pass them along to me if needed.

As we have comms on both DW and LJ, we would prefer someone who has access to both journaling platforms, but that's not a deal breaker.

So if you're interested, leave a comment here or PM me with your interest.

Thank you!
