Board 8 > If you were forced to give up four of your senses, which would would you keep?

(+) Yeah! (+)

How do you even take the sense of touch away from someone?

I don't know what I'd choose here. I suppose above all else if I could just sit in a vegetative state and listen to music, that would be a fate only slightly worse.

Touch.

For those saying sight, wrap a belt around your leg as tight as you can until it falls asleep, then try walking once you can feel it anymore. Imagine your entire body like that.

Yeah this is what I'm saying.

You literally have nerve receptors all over your body, on every single piece of skin, reporting touch. How is that taken away?

To clarify, is this only happening to me or everyone else around me too?

Unless you treat this as a trick question where you are assuming you would kill yourself or want to die...the only correct answer is touch...

You couldn't do anything without a sense of touch, including walk or eat...

If I could have someone around to play music for me, it wouldn't be as awful as everything else.

But just being able to feel things is not going to keep you from hurting yourself. Which is why I'm curious if there would be others around with all their senses to assist you. Otherwise, how will you know what to eat? At least by choosing sight you won't feel yourself dying.

At least it would be painless.

I'd be all for keeping feeling if there's someone around to help me out.

touch...

Without touch you couldn't feel while having sex that's a depressing world if you ask me.

Good luck getting laid as a deaf and blind guy.

If you had to be submerged in one food thing for two hours with an oxygen tank and goggles scuba style, what would it be, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, stawberry jam, or honey mustard?

I'd go with jam.

I'd opt for jello.

Sight, so I can find a suicide method.

You need all your senses.

Depends on how many senses we're counting. Are we including equilibrioception, thermoception, proprioception, and nociception? Or are we just lumping those all together along with mechanoreception as "touch?" What about your internal senses?

There never was a post. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus.

I'm guessing by touch, we mean the ability to sense external stuff touching our skin, and not combining it with internal nerves/entire nervous system. You would know that your muscles are under strain, but you wouldn't know the texture of the thing you are holding. I would limit this to the classic external senses (skin, sight, hearing, smell, taste) because I'd be fine getting rid of hunger before any of the external senses.
