Good Afternoon
get to live for five extra years but as a trifle, or turn into a woodpecker right now for the next five years then the extra five years you don't have to be a trifle you can just be you

The vast majority of trifles involve custard
Which is pus from the festering anal boils of Satan himself.
Also, there's often bananas involved.

I'm just staring at this in complete disbelief and sadness because
1.) custard?!?!
2.) bananas should be nowhere NEAR trifle imo. You want a sharper fruit to cut through the sweetness of everything else. Bananas are borderline repellantly sweet in themselves. I wouldn't put bananas in a trifle even if I had nobody coming to tea but monkeys

there is a good slater recipe for a trifle with blackcurrants, it's here fyi, scroll past the bream and all that nonsense, it's under the rather unfortunate title of "nigel's delightful trifle" but don't let that put you off. and ffs don't put crystallised violets on it obviously unless you like to spend your weekends dressed as joan hickson

Mum always puts banana in trifle
Slices of Swiss roll on the bottom, then jelly, then banana, with whipped cream and a crumbled up cadbury's flake on top.

This sounds like a trick, if I turn into a woodpecker then you're just going to say "you can get an extra five years just being you, and you're a woodpecker"
so I'm going to be a woodpecker for the rest of my life, am I not? Curse your trickery.

I promise I would never, ever try to trick you into being trapped as a woodpecker for the rest of your life
I'd never do that
you can trust me

That's exactly what someone who was going to turn me into a woodpecker for the rest of my life would say

does the trifle have some magic where it doesn't go off?
can't see the point of being non-sapient mouldy trifle for 5 years

also do woodpeckers have predators? Neither option seems worth it for only 5 years.

Come back to me of you think of some better deals

You can get Richard Herring's book of emergency questions for under £3 on ebay.

if richard is selling a book of emergency ANSWERS for under three pounds then you might find that useful here but not questions

What physically happens to my human brain in each scenario?
I fear that there won't be much of 'me' left to fit into the skull of a woodpecker, and after 5 years there'd be even less of 'me' left to transfer back.

The trifle scenario seems worse.
(, Wed 9 Apr 2025, 18:44, Reply)

in each scenario you get to keep your human brain and all of your intellectual capacity whilst also gaining insight into the intellectual, emotional and somatic experience of the woodpecker and the trifle. I have aimed to make the experience as horrific as possible
