What sense would you choose?
Ok, [insert creative crazy reason here] you are forced to loose one of your 5 senses. Which would you choose to eliminate?
1. Sight 2. Hearing 3. Taste 4. Touch 5. Smell |

I was going to go with taste, but smell seems more logical. Although you may not be able to tell if you left the gas going on the stove if you lose your sense of smell, spark a smoke and then die...
|
Obvious question is obvious.
Seriously, sometimes I wish I COULD lose my sense of smell. |
I chose smell, duh.
Should have been: Sight, Hearing, or Voice? |
Taste, nothing that you taste can tell you if its poisonious (sp) or not. There is nothing your sense of taste can do to save your life.
1. Sight - You can see danger. 2. Hearing - You can hear danger. 3. Taste - You can't taste danger. 4. Touch - You can feel danger. 5. Smell - You can smell danger. |
Poisonous*
And I could never go without my taste. I love food too much. :( |
My life would be a lot easier if I had no sense of taste.
|
Smell contributes more to your sense of taste than actual taste does. Taste is pretty useless.
|
@Jessifer - I Don't think Voice is a sense.
@Kaz - What types of danger are you referring to that you can smell? I would probably choose smell, but it is the strongest sense linked to memory and emotion. So I would then have to choose taste, though I do love tasting food, it would allow me to eat stuff that might be extremely nutritional, but tastes like shit. |
I'm aware that it's not. I just think it would have been more of a split vote.
|
Ahh I gotcha. Losing your voice completely would suck, but it wouldn't be AS bad if you could write down everything. Then again I'm not sure how you'd put emotion into what you were saying... it would be like online conversations. :p
|
id probly go with taste. even though it would suck, it would just suck less than all other options

I would also choose smell. |
How the hell would you lose your sense of touch?
Anyways, I put smelling. |
You can smell a fire, or in some cases a poisonous gas, you can smell a gas leak.. You can smell a lot of danger.
|
A fire burning away all your nerves, although I don't know how one could live happily that way.

You can see a person holding a gun to your head. You can hear a helicopter about to crash. You can feel the ground shaking before an earthquake. You can taste poison before you engulf it. You can apply bad situations to the loss of any sense. |
Odds are you could smell the poison or see the poison before you would taste the poison.

but in reality, how often do these things happen to you? and if your attacker knows that your missing your sense of sound, he'll sneak up behind you. if your gonna be attacked, your gonna be attacked. the end. an extra sense wont stop that, it just might make you aware of it.

I don't know how it works.

Here's a cool question for another thread. Would you one of your senses in trade for a sixth sense type of deal? If so, which sense?

Hahaha. I don't even know what the fuck I said.. i'll try again.
If you had an opportunity to trade one of your current senses for another sense (sixth sense) type of deal, would you do it? If you could do so and trade a sense, which would it be and why? |
Trade taste for the ability to sense stupid before I communicate with it.
|
I understood it perfectly the first time. :T
|
Just remembered that if you lose one of your senses, your other senses become more acute to compensate. Recent scientists have been doing experiments where they'd somehow disable a sense, such as eyesight with a blindfold.
I wonder if messing with the body this way can improve your eyesight so you don't have to wear glasses or contacts if you have a prescription. |
