Oh, crap, that's not my answer (I copy and pasted the questions from jacobtlong).

I can think of so many ways I could be tortured. Being away from any kind of human contact would be godawful (which is funny, 'cause IRL I am very happy avoiding human contact, but I wouldn't want that for eternity).

Well, now that my response to the survey comprises two posts instead of one, I can theoretically get twice as many likes as I would otherwise, if everyone who liked the first post likes the second post. :D

Yeah, I'm tricky like that.
