WYR: Be banished to a personal purgatory of your own design for 20 years, or exist exclusively on the internet for 20 years? (dormi.zone)

The purgatory is a perfectly self-contained 10-acre plot of land that you create limited mostly by your imagination, but you're cut off from the world and other people.

The internet connection is stable, but you lack a physical body and cannot upgrade the machine hosting you - your hardware will become out of date fairly quickly.

Time still passes in either case?

Well, my wife would miss me in either case, and I wouldn't really be there for my stepson's young adulthood, in either case. Even if I did the online thing, it would be similar to moving away from my family as far as they're concerned, and that would be pretty hard for them.

After the 20 years, if I pick the online option, do I get back my current body, or is it aged by 20 years?

Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.
