This or that?

That doesn't sound familiar ... AT ALL.
I plead the fifth amendment.


I'd rather drive.

Watch a bird/nature documentary OR take part in a yearly bird census (in your local area)?

I'd rather watch a bird documentary. Dyed-in-the-wool birders are difficult to be around because they're so pedantic especially with the exact common name assigned to each bird. They're funny to watch though. Everyone has a pair of binoculars glued to their eyes, pointed up and running around blindly trying to follow a bird. They look and sound like a bunch of baby chicks.

And if you get caught in a conversation with a birder, you're in trouble. Nothing is more boring than listening to them describe a thousand mile trip they took just to spot the elusive yellow-rumped tit for their life list.

You must stream a movie in one sitting or watch it a bit at a time.

I rather stream a movie in one sitting. I have been streaming movies in several bits (more so over the past three years). But that's a sign of job related stress and COVID anxiety effecting my attention span more than preference.

Go on a moderate hike, walk in a park, OR just play Oregon Trail on your computer?

Walk in the park every time! I like to talk to the workers, and always compliment them on the state of the gardens... they are always somewhat shocked that someone even noticed!

You have an important guest coming for dinner... make the meal yourself, or order in from one of those catering companies?

Make the meal myself. I am a very good cook...........cough.

You need your carpets cleaning: Do you clean them yourself, or phone a company to come to do them for you?

If and if I ever get an apartment that has carpets, if by cleaning you mean something more than vacuuming? I guess I'll hire a company to do so.

Choice of hot sauce:
Mild, medium, hot, extra hot, extremely hot, death by immersion in the center of the sun?

'Mild' for this Dant Not a lover of hot sauces... 'Sweet Chilli' is hot enough

Feed the local birdlife, or follow that dictum that you shouldn't feed wild creatures?

Every autumn, I think about getting a bird feeder but I never actually do. I'm to frugal. That said, I'm proanimal feeding.

Flintsones, The Simpsons, Family Guy, or another primetime animated series?

Flintstones

Borrow a book you would like to read from a library, or buy the book to add to your collection?

Buy the audiobook. Though, I just renewed my expired library card last week and placed hold on physical books. Haven't been to the library since preCOVID.

Science documentary or work of science fiction?

Science documentary

Listening to piano or violin

I'm definitely a piano person.

Hearing about breaking news from radio, TV, Twitter/social media?

Radio

Switch everything off completely before beddie-byes, or leave things on 'standby'

Laptop and tablet? Completely off. Smartphone? In airplane mode. I'll still need it as an alarm clock.

Which kind of villains do you generally prefer: grounded, sympathetic and flawed OR just out-and-out unambiguously hateable?

grounded, sympathetic and flawed. I prefer to think that everyone is redeemable, though it's looking more and more like that's not the case.
In fiction it's easier to have an irredeemable villain, but the flawed villain is more interesting.

Film adaptions from novels or comic books?

Film adaptions from novels

Barter a price, or just accept the price and pay.

Accept the price and pay. And I also avoid places that would allow haggling as it could cut both ways (a really great deal or being shafted and paying way too much for what you're buying).

Use a public bathroom or wait until you get home?

It depends on the urgency. Prefer at home, but what are you going to do?

Swim on the surface or underwater?

Swim on the surface.

Disco dancing or ballroom dancing to do.

Neither... this Dant has been banned from every dance hall in the district!

Hoover or sweep?
