WYR have to watch your daughter have sex or listen to your son sing Happy Birthday 50,000 times?

Ethics/Life & Death

You have lived a full life. You have an adult son and an adult daughter.

You die. The beings who run the afterlife say that you will enjoy an eternity of bliss, but first you must earn it by enduring some torture. You can choose the method of torture:

  1. You're stuck in a small bedroom where your daughter is having intense passionate sex with your best male friend. They ignore your presence and don't stop banging no matter what you do.

  2. You're stuck in a small featureless room with your son. He will sing the happy birthday song exactly 50,000 times in a row, with no breaks, in full volume, staring you intensely in the eye.

You are only allowed to leave room 2 when your son is done singing. I have no idea how long that would take, but whatever it is, that is also how long you have to endure room 1 if that's what you choose.

The people in the rooms are just magic replicas of your son, daughter and best friend. They are not the real people that they represent and cannot be reasoned with. The afterlife beings do not tell you this before you go in.
