quasarrgames Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 There used to be another thread like this but it had way too much mud, so im making a new one! The premise is simple: one person asks a what if question, the other person answers it, and asks a new one! Sound good? Okay! I'll start: What if the Axis powers in world war 1 had cast-iron riot shields? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketSquid Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Cast Iron would be tainted by association. For decades, it would be outlawed, and not until 50 years after the war would someone finally have a truly good plate of hash browns. What if all cheese had a chance of spontaneously combusting?

cubinator Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Then it would be used as a weapon. What if Mars had never been impacted by another protoplanet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legoclone09 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 1. If we didn't make the nuke, then the world would have a Japanese empire. Or America would own what Japan is today. Odd enough, I learned about the end of WWII in my History class today. 2. NASA would still be funded a lot. 3. I'm not sure what a RTLS is, though.

A35K Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Then he would indeed be named Werhner Von Buran instead of Von Braun. What if the Soviets landed on the Moon first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quasarrgames Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 The extra national pride may have given the soviets enough momentum to prepare a mars mission. Americans would prepare one too, to get back their national pride, and we'd have nuclear-powered spaceships on mars by about 1990. It would be awesome! Maybe. What if we discovered a way to get around the brain-blood-barrier and inject the neurotransmitter chemicals responsible for emotion (dopamine, serotonin, oxytosin, etc.) directly into our brains?

cubinator Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I would get out some binoculars and look at it from way out here in the suburbs.

cubinator Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 3 hours ago, _PRATTER_ said: (what is pointland?) It's a Flatland reference (great book, awful movie!). Pointland is a zero-dimensional universe with a consciousness; it cannot perceive or understand anything outside it's own mind. If you try to tell it there are other beings and other dimensions, it will think the thought originated in it's own mind and will simply dismiss it as nonsense. 4 hours ago, _PRATTER_ said: What if you where transfered to an alternative universe where the kerbol system was real? Then we could talk to aliens easily and also make interstellar ships that can go way faster then what we can do in our universe. What if the K-Pg event had never happened?

Andem Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The promise of quick and easy interstellar flight would lead to more public support of the pace program, and several Warp Ships are constructed in orbit, leading to new opportunities for colonization and interstellar flight.
