Would I rather be a mushroom or a llama? Again, I think we need to establish the definition of 'be', which in this case I'm assuming would be my mind in a different body.
Well for one thing, mushrooms don't have brains or lives, so I'm assuming that being a mushroom would be pretty boring. Even if I had a face I still wouldn't be able to go anywhere, and if anybody saw me, they'd probably stand on me which would be a pretty painful way to go, and that's assuming that I'm a wild mushroom, and not an edible one. Edible ones have to be harvested and then shoved into boxes for days, and then they sit in a shop until someone takes them home, chops them up, cooks them and eats them. I don't know at which stage I'd die but none of it seems like a particularly enjoyable experience.
Now being a llama would be much more preferrable. They have lives, the ability to move, they won't get lonely and if someone stands on them they won't be squished and they can fight back. They spit at people, which to be honest I can't imagine myself doing a lot of. The conditions they live in aren't great but I'd rather live in squallor than be a mushroom. Also, llamas are awesome. Obviously I'd prefer to be human but forced to make a choice, I'm going with the llama.
