would you rather be a mango with the thoughts of a human or a human with the thoughts of a mango
Depends on what abilities I have. Am I an ordinary mango or is it more of an I Am Bread situation? If I literally have any way to communicate whatsoever I’m okay with being a mango. If I can communicate I can avoid being eaten alive. And if I have to worry about rotting hopefully I could get someone to preserve me through like canning or freeze drying (the preferable option since the packaging could be transparent so I could still engage with the outside world) depending on what lasts longer. It would probably be the worst pain imaginable (unless I wouldn’t be able to feel pain since as far as we know mangos do not feel pain) but if it doesn’t kill me it’s probably the best option in terms of quality of life. If I wouldn’t have any way to communicate and would just be a completely normal mango that just happens to have human thoughts then I’d go with the thoughts of a mango because I do not wish to die a slow painful mango death imprisoned in my own body as I rot or get eaten. Because it’s only the thoughts of a mango and not the non-existent mind of one I assume I’d still be able to somewhat function?? Like I’m imagining that it’d either be complete silence literally no thoughts whatsoever, the word mango repeated over and over again like a pokemon, or some secret third option that indicates that there is a lot we do not know about mangoes and may need to stop eating them, which would be sad but I’m okay with leading the mango civil rights movement if no one else will. Honestly the worst thing would be that I’d probably no longer have the mental capacity to overanalyze a silly tumblr ask and spend way too much time responding to it instead of going to bed even though it’s 4 AM.
