Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

They are not identified until they are caught, and die in prison the same day you do. They never manage to escape, but sometimes there are rumors the authorities do not take seriously.

You do not live in the same area as them, but they are famous enough that everyone around you knows who they are.

You cannot change your name or get plastic surgery.

Face.

Unless someone is shown every day, most people have no idea what they look like.

Both Charlie Chaplin and Dolly Parton lost 'look alike' contests. Leslie Neilsen told a story about being mistaken for George Peppard [Hannibal from The A-Team]

Good point. And having the same name could inadvertently get you on some travel ban watch lists.

100% face. There are billions of people on the planet and I'm not that unique looking. Hell, there could already be a serial killer with my face and I'd probably never know. The moment my name gets associated, it's over though.

name although I might change my mind if they have a face that like gets them laid all the time.
