would you rather have ice cream for feet or feet for icecream

assuming the order is important and that “ice cream for feet” means my feet are made of ice cream, and that “feet for icecream” means ice cream i eat from now on is made of feet…… euuuuhhhhhhhh. i will. i will take. the former thanks
if the second option instead means it’s just a single tub then i can just have (a rather traumatizing) tub and literally be able to walk away for another day, unlike the other option, which could be managed depending on how bad it is, but is undeniably a much more permanent thing. i think no matter what form it manifests it would be preferable to permanent feet icecream, but if it’s only a relatively small amount then i’m choosing to suck it up

@Kylieacute asked:

would you rather have hands for feet or eat a ice cream?

hmmmmm... hands for feet is basically like, specializing into a different niche. instead of having them be really good at all the things feet are optimized to do well, like providing solid support, quick and easy balance, and an unmatched sprint, you would instead have them be good at all the things hands are optimized to do well, namely precise motor manipulation with long digits that have high rotation, but this is limited to curling inwards. curling upwards like a toe requires much more deliberate stretching and, while probably not impossible, makes traditional walking a lot harder. you can curl your fingers like a cat claw motion which seems to help, but the underlying problem is still there. and all this is to say nothing of running, which i'm sure a somewhat practical motion exists for but i cannot imagine it. (you can probably forget about ball-striking, though. but i could be wrong.)

also, there's the issue of what, uh, "shoes" you'd wear, and how you'd blend in with normal-footed people. for the latter, worst case scenario i guess you could claim it's some kind of avant-garde fashion and they wouldn't get it, if you really need to be somewhere formal or something, but i legitimately cannot think of gloves that would survive, let alone hold up to the rigors of being used to hold your weight against the ground, seeing as shoes designed for it already have a tough enough time. i mean worst worst case scenario you could probably just suck it up and shove your handfeet into shoes for the most miserable disguise ever, but that's... bad. for obvious reasons.

all in all you could probably get some serious mileage out of this if you knew what you were doing, but i don't and figuring it out seems like more trouble than it's worth so i'll just take the icecream please

...wait... hmm... grab branch and hang like bat... after training grip strength..... HM. .....hmmm.
