At first I thought this question was a no-brainer, that I’d rather have legs. But after thinking about it a little, the question becomes much more interesting to me.
If the case is that you can still learn to be literate, the obvious choice is to have legs. But if it means you have no possibility to ever read or write, I’m now thinking I’d rather have no legs.
I learn best from reading and writing things down, and I think I communicate better in text, too. I love learning new skills and that would be hard for me without using text. It’s very sexy to have legs and I’d miss mine a lot, but I chose to be literate… I think.
Edit: I hope this is okay to do, but I made a magazine on kbin for these kinds of questions. I think would you rather questions are so fascinating and fun to discuss. Maybe someone would like to come post one or discuss? https://kbin.social/m/would_you_rather

I mean… yes? Didn’t expect to ever read that sentence
!would_you_rather@kbin.social - like that the link works for Lemmy users.
Thank you!
Podcasts to the rescue. I always knew they were good for something (the illiterate)
