  3. Group chat version: post one pair a day and watch the 40-message argument unfold.

FAQ

What are funny this or that questions?

Either/or picks where both options are ridiculous — “sweat mayonnaise or cry hot sauce”. There’s no sensible answer, which is the point: the laughs come from watching people defend an indefensible choice with total conviction.

How do you make this or that funnier?

Add the defense rule: every pick must be justified out loud if challenged. The explanations are always funnier than the choices — someone will construct a full survival strategy for the hundred duck-sized horses.

Are these questions clean enough for any group?

Yes — absurd, not crude. They work for coworkers, families and mixed groups. For little kids we’d point you to our kid-specific list, which trades awkward office moments for dragons and candy houses.
