I remember someone starting a game like this a few years back. Not sure what happened, but it was fun, so I figured I'd start it again!

It's like this: one person comes up with a bizarre or outlandish premise for a story, and the person below provides some details/ some additional context to make the story easier to swallow. I'll start:

The United States government issues a nationwide ban on socks.

A Direct-to-DVD sequel/spinoff for Beauty and the Beast, where sentient objects like teapots and candlesticks have become commonplace. These sporks have had enough of mankind's discrimination = everyone either uses a fork or a spoon, but never them. Now, their anger has reached a tipping point, with certain radical sporks attacking humans - though the majority of sporks prefer nonviolent protest.

All our avatars are in a stockroom together.

An experimental virus developed by the Allies, which was intended to make enemy soldiers "embrace freedom" mutated, causing it to transform anyone exposed to it into fiercely independent androgens. The result was named after what resembled most people's idea of androgyny in the early 20th century; A flapper apocalypse!

The only hope for mankind rests with a single anteater who lives in the arctic.

The internet has become sentient and hijacked the worlds' supercomputers to create a variety of viruses which will replace all future vaccines. The "vaccines" cause the infected to behave in a similar way to an internet meme.

Japan's economy is crashing and it's going to take the rest of the finance world with it. Mankind's only hope of avoiding a recession rests with the president of the USA reviving the JRPG and thus the Japanese game industry. The only thing that stands in his way are the forces of Bioware-Blizzard-Bethesda inc., who seek to ensure that the WRPG stays on top. By chance, our hero, the Last Mac Gamer, found this rare game on one of his vintage machines, and has been tasked with delivering it to Gaben VI, ruler of the Valve empire, and the only man who can be trusted to distribute it! ...but can he be trusted not to take the opportunity to bring the FPS back to its glory days?

The gorillas are somewhat de-evolved humans and they travelled back in time to get the pterodactyls because they are also scientists. The scientists got de-evolved due to a lab accident.

A parody of Eminem's Rap God which focuses on Sonic the Hedgehog and in this song, Sonic is portrayed as an egotistical jerk off-screen from his games and is the founder and head of a club where every You Tuber hangs out and he has a member of the band who made the parody as a stripper and the lead singer of the band finds out about this and breaks into the club and Sonic mind-controls him and he later breaks free from the mind control and he challenges Sonic to a rap battle and the lead singer of the band unleashes Eminem on him and Eminem raps Sonic nearly to death but Sonic manages to kill Eminem and Eminem blows up into a bunch of smoke which knocks everyone in the club out.

Youtube commissioned the club as a big charity event to win people back after millions left for competitor Dailymotion. Sonic the Hedgehog is a sentient robot created by some especially devoted fans of the character who happen to be some of the most brilliant minds alive. Sonic was built with psychoactive powers and the ability to dispense smoke bombs from his hands. The Sonic fans who built him thought those were cool at the time.
