Poll: Which are you willing to give up?

[MassiveGeek]

Well, smell and/or taste then.

I want my sight, thank you, I'm a freaking artist, would kinda mess stuff up for me if I couldn't see what I was doing. Also hearing is always nice, even though I want to learn how sign language at some point or another.

Hmm.

 

[Willem]

I'd be fucking glad to get rid of the sense to smell/taste.

Hell, I'd cut my nose off if it weren't for the pain.

Sight: Without sight then I can't play video games, read, or look at attractive people. I will not give it up.
Hearing: Without hearing, I can't listen to the world or people and it'd be easier for someone to make fun of me behind my back. Also, I'd have to have subtitles on EVERYTHING! I will not give it up.
Smell: I see this is the majority voted for. But those people don't realize that without smell, your subconscious can't smell pheromones and therefore you'd have little to no sex drive. Just a little tip I will not give it up.
Touch: Well again, no sex drive. And also, pain is good for warning you of stuff. The people without nerves, and no pain, often die sooner or are permanently injured by stuff. I will not give it up.

Taste: So what, without taste I can't taste food... that's it. I can still make delicious food that other people can compliment me on. And I'd be able to eat anything that I didn't like because, hell, I couldn't taste it. Goodbye taste.

Toss up between smell and taste.

I don't need to smell much, but with taste gone I never have to worry about upsetting someone, by refusing to eat the racid food...

In this order
first touch because i can always learn how to not break things while holding things is something thats harder when you cant feel. After that it would be my sense of taste.After that my sense of vision. After that my sense of smell and last my sense of hearing.

Smell, definitely smell. Not only are bad smells usually a lot stronger than the good ones, but it and taste are the only ones that aren't a vital communication method; nor have they been implemented in any medium. I choose smell over taste because I happen to like food, including plenty of the healthy stuff.

You know that with out smell you can only taste the most basic five tastes?

 

[Sneeze]

Smell.

- Sight is needed for TV , movies and vidya.
- Sound is needed for music and important for the above.
- Touch is also quite important for games I'd say, amongst all the important stuff like knowing when something hurts which generally means you need to stop the cause from happening to stop the risk of damage.
- Taste is well, while not completely important, I love food and don't wanna miss out on bacon, curry and fajitas.

As for smell, sure some things smell nice and I'd be missing them but some things smell nasty too, yes some things taste bad but you just don't put them in your mouth.

Although the two are very closely related, so I wouldn't be surprised if vice-versa was also true.

No I think you can use smell even if you cant taste but if you take away smell you also loss the ability to taste anything except the most basic five tastes

 

[Alon Shechter]

Goodbye Taste.
Now I can eat gross but healthy stuff!

 

[dakorok]

I'd say taste, but only because losing any of the other four would be devastating to me.
With no sight, I could never see another sunrise.
With no hearing, I would lose the music that drives me each day.
With no touch, I could never feel the embrace of a close friend.
With no smell, I couldn't enjoy the air after a fresh rain.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

touch for me. i don't like weird stuff on my fingers...it's disgusting >.-

 

[CleverCover]

From what I remember in school, taste is reliant on smell. If you lose your sense of smell, your sense of taste is almost completely diminished. That being said, I'd drop taste. It would help me eat healthier because I could stomach things I don't normally like that are good for me.

This.

 

[FoolKiller]

Taste
You can have a better life without it. There is no need to have it. You can tell if food is rotten without it and you wouldn't have the desire to eat junk food either.

 

[technoted]

Goodbye touch, probably the most useful of them seeing as knowing when I need medical attention from physical wounds as well as the ability to ejaculate normally would also be quite a problem. However the lack of pain would allow me to push myself to further limits and that could be quite interesting.

 

[The Funslinger]

I would say smell. My sense of smell was temporarily damaged, and when it came back it was awesome!

Even so, smell. (Assuming taste somehow worked regardless.) I love tasting things, and everything else is kind of vital.

 

[Sweeney94]

Losing taste doesn't matter because you're brain smells it and then associates that smell with what what your eating should taste like - so you basically still taste it. My parents friend lost his taste in his sleep, but he can still taste through smell. That's why people make weird taste comparisons to things they've never tasted, because they've smell-tasted them .

 

[imnot]

My noes barley works already so yeah, FUCK YOU SMELL!

 

[Amy Sorel]

Smell. Bye bye nasty farts from random strangers.
