'Time to go to the psychiatrist': Redditors Tackle the Creepiest 'Would You Rather' Question Ever, Giving Everyone the Heebie-Jeebies and A Bad Case of Paranoia

'Would You Rather' is a timeless game that has taken over sleepovers, college parties, and senator's dinners alike. In the game, the goal is to pose impossible hypothetical scenarios and beg players to debate the pros and cons of (usually horrific) oppositions. The caveat? You must choose one option, so typically both options are terrible in their own special way. Naturally, Redditors have taken this formula and perfected the most atrocious and creepiest 'Would You Rather' question of all time, leaving readers freaked out, questioning their sanity, and genuinely unable to decide which side is worse. So, without further ado, for those willing to join the discussion and second-guess their living situation for all eternity…

Which would you rather find living in your attic, 1000 cockroaches or 1 human person?

Either way you have a parasite scuttling about upstairs, creeping into all of your things, eating your food, and infiltrating your walls, so your choice is pretty bleak. Redditors debated the logistics of fumigation and ease of removal, while others contemplated the lethal implications, psychological trauma, and ability to move on from the debacle. Most interestingly, this WYR question seemed to have no clear winner. Some people, who have probably seen too many unsolved true crime documentaries insisted that the human would simply disappear the second you called the police, following you to the next home you moved into (because they're obviously deranged in some way). The roaches would be equally difficult to shake, according to many folks, because when you see 1,000 roaches, that means there's probably actually more like a million stashing away in all of your things– clothes, furniture, food, etc.

Nightmare fuel. It seems that whatever horrors you find living in your attic without your permission will follow you into the next apartment you flee to, so in my opinion, you at least might as well be collecting a little rent income from your parasite. Maybe you can even coexist and share the wifi code and some lone-survival tips.
