I would rather be a rock.

Lets face it: a mundane ife is crap if you have the ability to dwell on it. We wake up, we tend tyo our various necessities, responsibiliteis and desires, then we play dead for a good 8 hous or so and pepeat the process. This is acceptable the first seven times, but once you've figured out all the twists and turns that could possibly occur (and never do) then it all becomes so dreary, so boring. So if you could be anything free of responsibility - a bird, a hamster, a leaf - whatever, then what would it be? It could be forever, or it could just be a day-long quantum leap, I don't mind.

I would be a door bell.





What?

 

[Locobato]

If just for a day I would have to be something predatorial. Perhaps a tiger, so that I could have that experience of hunting and stalking my prey. I think it would be cathartic. Since as humans we can't hunt eachother.

 

[Downside]

I'd blatantly be a dog, get waited on hand and foot, no one cares if you take a dump out in the open and pissing all over stuff is seen as natural. Plus there's no work and you get to laze about all day and occasional hump you owners leg.

 

[black lincon]

I would be an Indian river otter. they fight crocs!

[Reaperman Wompa]

The sun. nice view at least...

On Earth probably a bird, something in one of the more comfortable countries so I could just fly about eating and mainly not bothering with complex thought.

 

[COR 2000]

I would be an Eagle. Or maybe a Jedi. Or Christian the Lion(We share the same name, after all.)

 

[curlycrouton]

A Pig.

Yes.

I heartily disagree, though I see what you mean by hunt.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

A Dog ofcoarse. Who doesn't want to be a Dog with a good family. I look my dogs and I just think "You lucky shits..." They have to do sod all. Just a nice walk, dinner and then they just sleep and get their ears ruthled. Lucky bastards...

Funny you should mention assassin I read this article 2 weeks ago and I thought man that would be so cool.

[Anarchemitis]

Would never dare to be something other than me. Life so just so awesome, I could explode!

 

[Alphavillain]

I don't want to go all Heidegger, but I'm not entirely sure "being" an inanimate object makes sense. how can you "be" something that has no consciousness? I would be my dog, Tom, largely because he is better looking me and young attractive women would then stroke me rather than running to the police when i rolled on my back for them.

Well imagine we exist in a fictitious alternate reality (or the same reality) where everything is the same except people can quantum leap at will into inanimate or usually non-sentiet things. If you were a rock, you still couldn't move, but you'd think as yourself if ou were in a rock.

 

[Dapper Ninja]

I'd want to be an omnipotent being with control over all existence to see how long it takes for it to become boring.

 

[RavenTheBlade]

I would be a bird of some variety... maybe a scavanger, a predator or both if possible. Hopefully black, just to suit my style. Now if only I could think of an animal like that off the top of my head...

According to Spore - never.

According to the Sims - as long as the ridiculous loading times.

 

[wewontdie11]

I'd like to be a bird of some kind. Preferably a falcon or something of the raptor family. Flight is always symbolic of freedom and it would be fun to actually fly without the aid of machines.

 

[Andalusa]

Some kind of bird of prey, maybe a harris hawk (i recently did my work experience at bords of prey centre) they look just like mini golden eagles.
Failing that, a snake. Love 'em wanted one since I was about 2 feet tall.
Or if we're going for inanimate objects, a statue or figurine.

 

[Combined]

The common Pen.

Or perhaps a watch. I adore mechanisms and movement.
