I wouldn't mind tasting crap food for the rest of my life if I had to choose a sense. Of course, I won't ever have to choose (hopefully), so it doesn't matter.

That's an excellent point. It would be much easier to do without taste then any of the main 5 senses.Originally Posted by Jiro

Isn't that what I said three times now?That's an excellent point. It would be much easier to do without taste then any of the main 5 senses.
I'd give up my sense of time. I truly hate it. While it's nice because I'm always that guy that can tell almost exactly what time it is without a watch, and even wake up without alarms... it's really annoying. Because it always makes the most boring activities drag on and on, and the most fun activities fly by. I'm still perfectly aware of how long it has been though, while most other people around me are not.
Of the 5 basic ones... I don't want to lose any of them. They're so central to me. I know I could function without them... but I enjoy them all so much.

Out of the traditional 5, I would probably give up...wow they all rule. Maybe smell -- though I don't think I would function well without it. However I'm so hedonistic with the rest.
Sense of pain (but not touch) would be good. I could give up masochism for basically limitless pain threshold.
So that.
As for made up sense, I'm already lacking any common sense so let's just keep running with that.
My sense of morality.
...huzzah!
I've already lost my sense of pride, dignity, and self respect.
So of my remaning senses, my sense of other people. That way I coudl live blissfully unaware of the cretins that inhabit my world.
Actually, I had an interesting conversation about that recently.
'Sense of time' is actually a misnomer. It isn't exactly a sense. There is no sensation of time, but perception, which is different. Sensation is a stimulus, and perception is your mind's response to it.
You can technically lose your 'sense of time' if your suprachiasmic nucleus in the hypothalamus goes haywire. If this happens, your circadian rhythm would get all messed up.
Now, while at first giving up your 'sense of time' doesn't seem bad, keep in mind what losing your circadian rhythm would do-- you'd basically be thrown into a perpetual state of jet lag (with its symptoms of fatigue, insomnia and disorientation), and not only that, many sleep disorders would follow, including perpetual and constant sleep disorders and sleep deprivation, which would make you pretty damn miserable quickly. Let's face it: without your circadian rhythm you'd be constantly fatigued and unable to sleep, so you'd be sluggish and pretty much downright stupid in what few waking hours you'd have. Not only that, sleep deprivation is linked to a weaker immune system, so you'd become more prone to illnesses.
I would give up my sense of smell when choosing from the five classical senses of the human body.
I believe in the power of humanity.
I want to keep them all.
I'd give up Mexico.
I was born with a horrible sense of smell, that's why I'd get rid of it.
I guess I'll agree with everyone else and say smell. Cus I usually don't smell good things, and when I do smell good things, it just makes me want it.
I would give up my sense of a life. Oh wait, too late, I already have.

But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

I, too will go with loss of smell. I don't much care for smelling bad things. I suppose if it didn't affect the ability of my other senses it would be alright. I still want to taste things as much as I do now, and I know that smell has a factor in that.
