This or That?

[Mr EliteL]

Pants because warmth is better, and...UK weather usually requires them. Do know how good shorts can be though.

Breakfast and Lunch (separate meals) or Brunch?

[ShiraNoMai]

Brunch all dayyyyyy. Best of both worlds.

Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

[Kyng]

Christmas Day. While I tend to enjoy the lead-up to Christmas more than I enjoy the day itself, I still think Christmas Day is more fun than any individual day of the lead-up.

Wearing summer clothes in winter, or winter clothes in summer?

[Moonface]

Summer clothes in winter because it either means I went somewhere with warm weather during winter, or I'm inside where it's warm with no intention of going out but wanting to wear something other than pajamas but winter clothing wouldn't be logical.

One 90 second ad during a video or nine 10 second ads throughout a video?

[Mr EliteL]

90 second ad, I'll just go do something else in the mean time, or what I am more likely to do, refuse to watch whatever I was going to anyway.

Blocked nose or sore throat?

[Kyng]

Blocked nose, because I'm more used to that.

Only have access to entertainment/pop culture made before the year 2000, or only have access to entertainment that's less than one year old? (So, if something new is released on 1st January 2024, you have until 1st January 2025 before you lose access to it forever)

[ShiraNoMai]

Basil. There's something so... mouthwateringly tantalizing about the aroma. It reminds me of good Italian cuisine, like a great tomato sauce for a pizza or pasta. Italian food is comforting for me cuz I grew up with it, so it's also got a nostalgic factor. 10/10 herb for sure.

All beef hotdog or pork hotdog?

[Mr EliteL]

Pork hotdog. Sounds like I got to try a beef hotdog because I've never had one.

Carpet or non-carpet floor?

[ShiraNoMai]

Context dependent but a large percentage of the time, carpetless wins. Way easier to clean and maintain.

Food that is/has: Heavy-handed seasoning or devoid of seasoning?

[Moonface]

Assuming I can't put any seasoning on the food myself, I'm actually still going to go with devoid of seasoning. If the food is cooked well it'll still taste good, but it could potentially be ruined if there's too much seasoning on it.

Getting up early or going to bed late?

[ShiraNoMai]

I feel like the correct answer is getting up early, but currently I thrive better in going to bed late, still.

Also I'll answer Kyng's "this or that" from before my hiccup so it doesn't get unanswered: Pre-2000, free. New stuff is nice but the ratio of hit and miss is too grand. My brain gets happy chemicals from familiar things so, I'll take that.

-40C or 40C? (Outdoor temperature; -40F or 104F in freedom units)

[Mr EliteL]

Ah dang, I really though I was in this topic when answering even though I read the herb question prior. Whoops.

Think you meant 104F instead -104F, but I remember there being that mess up on the US weather once during a heatwave, and some or a lot, or all temperatures were in the 100F, so if that somehow tolerable, peeps got through it fine then I'll go with the 40C/104F. Although, I'd want air con for sure or I'll just find it completely unbearable in my house. Also I wouldn't go out in either, but I got no experience of -40C/F and can just imagine my body just literally stiff in the cold no matter how many layers I have on.

Now, screw the Fahrenheit temperature randomly equalling Celsius at -40, I can just imagine them being people as Celsius watches Fahrenheit inch closer and closer from being so far away, they greet each other both shivering aggressively with Fahrenheit moving off the other way as they both slowly turn to ice, but Fahrenheit slides off into the distance again.

Tape or glue?

[Kyng]

Depends what I'm using it for (e.g. wrapping presents requires tape, whereas my model railway buildings require glue). However, if it's a situation where either will do the job well, I think I'd find glue easier to work with.

Scooby Doo or Snoopy?

[Moonface]

Scooby Doo. Never really watched Snoopy or cared for it.

Rollercoaster rides or log flume rides?

[Kyng]

I'll go with the roller coaster .

Bluebells or lavender?
