What if...?

Thinking straight as in thinking hetrosexually. ;)

Anyway: You'd go mad with the revelation.

What if I was never born?

We wouldn't be having this conversation.

Aside from the fact that I hate you and your puns, that still doesn't work. I'm a guy and thus unable to bear children. If that offends you, I'm sorry, but the physiological roles and capabilities of male and female reproductive systems are pretty rigidly defined.

But...

What if either gender could get pregnant?

I meant bear as in fathered. Maybe that's not grammatically correct. Sorry for the pun. ;P

Then gender would mean less for lots of reasons.

What if aliens invaded?

It would suck, even if we won. There would be pain, death, suffering, fear, paranoia, the works.

What if I could shoot off my arm hairs like little missiles?

Then you would be Fletchette Man.

What if This thread actually existed?

You'd be able to sew with it.

What if people didn't worship Joss Wheadon?

I still wouldn't care.

What if Pepper Jack married Salt Peter?

I guess she would become Pepper Peter or something.

What if the Sea Shepherds wrote Moby-Dick?

It would end with the Sea Shepherds destroying Ahab's ship, ending his quest for vengeance before it can even begin.

What if Uncle Ben Parker was revealed to have had spider-powers himself and had survived the burglar's attempt on his life?

Peter Parker will just be a normal teenager after all, while Uncle Ben will fail at a superhero career.

What if the Nintendo Switch ended up becoming the video gaming equivalent to Samsung's Galaxy Note 7?

The satisfying click sound in the advertisements would be an explosion.

What if everyones heads were emojiis?

In addition to some bizarre scientific implications, everyone's emotions would be so pronounced that there wouldn't be any Stoics to speak of. That said, you likely wouldn't see some of the more unusual emojis (smiling shit, thumbs up, or even our own and ), and the few you do see likely wouldn't be breathing.

What if the Zelda games took place in an Urban Fantasy setting instead of their usual one?

We'd have a Super Mario Odyssey ripoff.

What if everyone could chose their eye colours?

The occurence rate of heterochromia in the world would skyrocket, that's for sure.

What if fireflies delivered a 60,000-volt shock on contact with non-firefly life?

It would result in an instant death.

What if ABC aired a live-action drama based on the Archie Comics?

Probably simply meaning Riverdale switches networks. Not knowing anything about American TV networks I have no idea what impact that has on the show.

What if all cat videos, and TV programmes based on cat videos, were banned?

That's a good chunk of the internet gone, and the older folk's stereotype of the Internet with it. assuming it can be enforced successfully

...Portals to an Eldritch Location (one that's not outright malevolent, but not benevolent either) started appearing and disappearing at random?

It becomes REALLY hard to get to that weird place.

...there was an Inverted Trope to And You Thought It Would Fail?

Isn't that called overhype for an underwhelming product?

...Zappa never died?

mega-bump

He’d be like one hell of an elder statesman of weird rock music (especially on the Internet), although he would definitely get more flack for his more controversial songs.

What if we had no moon?

Nighttime would be much darker and colder.

What if every household accepts bigamy?

Urban areas might get hella confusing when it comes to who is who's spouse.

What if JoJo's Bizarre Adventure didn't have to deal with the consequences of 9/11?

Probably we would had seen a extremely epic fight in the top of the World Trade Center towers..

What if The Beatles never existed?
