I'd say touch. It would have its downsides (boiling hands without noticing etc), but I feel like those would be the easiest to overcome (comparatively) by being more careful. Smell is important for detecting harmful and dangerous things.

+ someone could torture you and you would just laugh in their face giving them a wtf moment :sdo:

If you're getting rid of your sense of smell, you might as well be getting rid of your sense of taste, how things taste have a lot to do the odors in the food you eat. So imma go with taste.

I put smell because holding someone and *** would be forever ruined if i'd put Touch.

But then again, we could all end up like Ryan Gosling's character in 'The Nice Guys' and not smell gas as our house catches fire.

If i can learn to see without the eye, then it would be my pleasure to remove this pain.

I would say taste.

I need to

- smell danger
- see danger
- hear danger
- fight danger

Well if you lose you sense of touch you would probably be braver when it comes to danger

Taste, so I can finally engulf those healthy veggies 24/7.

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. I'd probably eat a whole head of iceberg lettuce raw for lunch everyday if I couldn't taste it.

Taste.

You wouldn't be put off eating super-healthy stuff that tastes bad, plus part of the pleasure of eating is in the smell and texture (touch). So by losing taste, I don't lose a whole aspect of sensation.

It comes with no detriment either. If you choose smell, you'd be in a pickle if say, you're upstairs and a fire starts downstairs. Especially if you've got a TV on or you're listening to music. It's also the only way you can spot food that's gone bad without any visible changes. And you can't taste a gas leak either.

Smell, I can still taste the goodness of what I eat and I wouldn't have to worry about terrible orders

Even if you say choose one it will mean you haven't really thought about it .

anyway gonna choose smell but what if there was a gas leak in your house, you can't smell so you turn on the fire boom you're dead .

1. The fk? dawg, it's not rocket science, you just choose one, so I don't see how I haven't "thought about it" when I'm just asking a simple question. Don't really care if some of them are connected in a way, I'm asking you to pick one. That's all. Not hard.

2 So you thought that by getting rid of one of your 5 senses that it would allow you to have a positive impact on your life? Obviously if you're getting rid of one of your 5 senses then it would have a negative impact on the things that you do, hence why I'm asking which one would you choose to get rid of.

*Also, I don't see why you have to use the gas leak argument as if there are a lot of people that get gas leaks in their homes.

I think you didn't even understood what i said ( think about one sense at a time what it will be like if you lose each one of them then you've thought about it enough ) anyway whatever you like :|

i didn't say that anywhere you looks take on yourself too much and simple answer i don't want to lose any of them ( i understand how it impact a person's life as I've seen many like that )

and basically i'm saying it gonna have major impact on things you do as you understand it so no need to run around angry like that and have a argument over it .
