If you had to lose two of the six senses, which would you choose?

badabing106

Which ones would you choose. Nose, smell you later. Not essential in the 21st century.Taste is the same. We don't hunt or gather anymore so eating a dangerous plant or noticing a foul smelling meat isn't really a danger anymore for people in the western world

Two out of the five is a bit nonsensical, if you'll pardon me saying (and the pun).

Seeing and hearing but having absolutely no feeling sensation from head to foot would be a nightmare of an existence.

At a stretch I'd forgo smell and taste but that's the absolute limit.

With only two of six you'd be better off dead, so I choose actual dead.

You'd adapt. Some animals have two or less senses

2 out of the six? I'd have to go for telepathy and my eye-sight maybe..

Name a few with less than 2 senses and we'll see how tolerable life as some of them would be. Many animals have more senses than we do - eclectic sense, magnetic sense, echolocation etc.

Sight, touch, hearing, taste, smell....

Sight and sound. Everything tastes watered down these days anyway, could deffo live without the smell of randomers.. and I could see whatever I'm touching..

You don't have echolocation?

Not since the operation to restore my infra red vision, last year.

I'd say sight and touch op. I'd hate to live without sound, taste and sense of smell though.

I remember reading that Michael Hutchence had lost his sense of taste and smell a while before he died after being attacked and it was said that it turned him into a completely different person.

Depends. What do I get for giving up the other 4?

corner of hells

My father lost sense of touch and feeling in his hands after an industrial accident , however his sense of smell was spot on with him often noticing his hands getting burned by the smell of roast pork.

freshpopcorn

I'd probably go with smell and then taste. I'd be able to eat very healthy then.

Duckworth_Luas

If I lost my eyesight I wouldnt be able to see dead people anymore!

wakka12

Obviously everyone will pick smell and taste

RobbingBandit

I've lost my sight briefly quite a few times times in the past two years wouldn't wish it on anyòne, smell would be the only one I'd part with although hearing wouldn't be much of a loss living where I do the noise of cretins talking so loud wouldn't be missed.

leonffrench

There's more than 5 senses. What about balance?

Cloudio9

Entitlement and self respect.

Arghus

I'd think I'd give up my sense of style and....

the_pen_turner

considering we have over 20 senses I think we could loose one or 2 of those.

I don't think you could cope without any of the 'normal 5' but I couldn't do without, sight . smell would go first then hearing

I’d lose my fabulous sense of humour and dress sense.

biko

I have already lost my common sense and fashion sense.

[Deleted User]

My sense of proportion and my common sense. I've been told I'm lacking in both anyway.

The_Valeyard

Id give up my sixth sense. Aint got time to be dealing with dead peoples problems.

pickarooney

Sense of guilt and sense of betrayal.

PLL

Taste, Smell. I would be skinny again!

Cee-Jay-Cee

If you had no sense of smell then taste is gone too (hold your nose and eat something and see for yourself)

I’d chose to keep sight and hearing.
