Poll: You have to give up one sense - which one do you give up?

[Falconsgyre]

Kinesthetic sense

I'll send flowers to your hospital room. This is what happens without proprioception.

For the tl;dr people, you can't talk, you can't walk, you basically can't move at all.

this is a really really tough one, but i think i would have to go with taste. it is the only one that does not seem absolutely essential, and it would make it easier to eat healthier, but there are so many good foods out there that arent necessarily unhealthy. its a great pleasure to give up, but it is the only sense i can live without, if only just. (im not actually obese, i just find food one of the cheaper (mostly) yet better things to enjoy in this world. just in moderation, because excess of anything is kind of a bad thing.)

EDIT: oh. didn't know we had more than five. in that case, i would go without temperature. heat bugs the crap out of me, and extreme cold does a bit as well. while it can be refreshing, it is hardly essential, and the pain from extreme heat/cold would still register, so not necessarily an essential survival thing.

you know? on second thought, or third rather, ima stick with taste. temperature plays a hardly noticeable but really influential role.

you know what? fuck it, i just can't decide. its impossible to imagine life without any single one of my senses since i find use for them so often. i really do feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have a certain sense. i just cant imagine what that would be like.

My non-sense... Heh

Not having smell would be paradise because everyone in my class is both 17 and unbelievably immature, so you can see my thinking.

 

[Someone Depressing]

Taste.

My cooking's horrible, so removing the taste entirely'd actually be an improvement.

 

[Someone Depressing]

Kinesthetic sense

fuck that shit

Have fun mastering telekenesis!

 

[Master Kuja]

Taste, considering taste is primarily governed by smell anyway, I wouldn't be losing a great deal, plus I'd probably be able to tolerate more healthy food.

 

[Srdjan]

Spider-sense, it's always tingling I can't stand it any more.

 

[Kingpopadopalus]

I give up the sense of pain, oh wait you don't go that in depth, then I'll give up touch... Silly basic 5 senses.

 

[Kaymish]

taste is easily the least important and since smell is plugged intotaste in a massive way loseing that is loseing taste too

 

[Kingpopadopalus]

Biology? pft, I learned that in psychology.

 

[TheSapphireKnight]

Definitely taste. Eating healthy would be way easier.

 

[Flaming Narwhal]

Smell. I'm cool with never smelling something awful ever again.

 

[Feralcentaur]

Smell, there are many things I wish I would never have to smell again and it's not very useful anyways.

 

[CheckD3]

I say smell, because what is a nose really good for besides smelling your friend's farts or having mucus clog it up and being obnoxious anyway.

But I'd also give up taste, no taste means as long as it looks okay I'd eat it,and if good things for you have bad taste, I'd eat them all, and get super healthy without the horrid taste in my mouth

 

[Emilox The Great]

I would give away my COMMON sense! so i can be just like every other human being!


OT: Smell. more trouble than it is worth tbh.

 

[KaosuHamoni]

None. Seriously. I know it's lame, but I was trained in a kitchen, I'm a musician, and I couldn't live without the smell of a rose, the feel of the wind on my skin or being able to see the sunrise.

=]

 

[Shock and Awe]

Taste, life would be a little less interesting, but oh well, at least I wouldn't be disabled. :/

 

[Fursnake]

Smell. Just don't need it as much as the other senses.
