What have you discovered recently that's been a surprise?
Alt: Would you rather lose a foot or a hand?
Alt2: The whole of b3ta gather together. Their combined weight causes the bit of land they're on to snap off and float away. Food is running out. Which b3tan would you eat first, and why?

I'd go with foot, definitely foot

But feet are very important, and I saw a really cool prosthetic which was basically a tentacle that curled round things. It was awesome.

Alt Q: No contest...people cope quite well with the loss of feet. I couldn't do my job with 1 hand.
New Alt: Isn't this obvious? We would eat the vegetarians first because they'll starve anyway. *Awaits online scowling from Miss Swipe*

True story, my grandad had no legs when I knew him, I thought he lost them 'cus a tank landed on him in the war, but actually it was diebieties, I felt conned. When he was a kid he lost his big toe and he couldn't walk properly so they called him Moisha The Cripple.

So like if you're all depressed and commit suicide, you got to a hell, but not the hell you hear about in fiction, but a personal hell, reliving your life gone wrong; or at least, gone wrong from your standpoint. Maybe there are angels out there that are actually like phsyciatrists or something like that. It's like going to sleep with a content mindset or a negative one. I donno how I came to this conclusion, but it's as good as anyone else's.
Anyway, if when you get something chopped off, you feel what it felt like at that point, then maybe if you can get something chopped off at a point of bliss, like (for the sake of the children reading) your legs getting chopped off when relaxed in a bath.... then that would be quite cool.
