I think you know what this thread is about.

I got nothing, somebody else make the first What If?, I can't think of anything...

Obligatory Troll Post:

What if this thread was never created?
We wouldn't have lost anything of value

Now that that's out of the way, I'm not entirely sure about the rules, does someone propose a What If? scenario, and the following poster describes it and adds a new one? or everything is theorized and answered in the same post?

The first one (Proposes a scenario, next poster describes, and creates their question, rinse and repeat).

What if my plans for a Fictional Character Containment Wiki were actually good?

You would revolutionize the world.

What if this thread was actually popular?

It would get more posts.

What if I had ten drills?

I'm nobody, who are you? Are you nobody too?

Then you would get the obligatory giant robot for free.

What if I went far away?

Then we'd never see you again.

You'd be even less comprehensible.

What if I was super-strong?

You could help me open this jar of pickles.

What if in the episode of Death Note with the Lind L Taylor broadcast, Light had decided, "Nah, this smells too much like a trap" and not killed Mr. Taylor? (or at the least, had waited until a week or two after)

Then you would not have spoiled that episode.

What if no if?

Then this thread dies.

What if rally was the most popular form of motorsport on the planet?

Then Mario Kart would be very very different.

What if Media Molecule teamed up with Nintendo? (Specifically, the people who worked on Super Mario Galaxy.)

Sackboy would be playable in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Then he would be a greatest guy alive.

What if god is octopus, and his creations that are suppose to be go to the heaven are octopus too?

The Twilight fangirls would rejoice.

They'd point and laugh.

What if they didn't, though?

They wouldn't get over the border as easy.

What if love is just a made up fairy-tale?

Well, we could look forward to a crappy Disney adaptation of the fairy tale "Love" sometime in the near future if that were the case.

What if Eyjafjallajokul spat out puppies and rainbows instead of molten rock?

The sky would be far more colourful and a lot of puppies would drop from great heights, dying horrible deaths.

What if TV Tropes wasn't as addicting as it is?

We probably wouldn't be having this conversation.

What if light was the absence of darkness, and not the other way around?

The light side would be the one luring us with cookies.

What if the Lucasverse were coherent and not dualistic?
