71,000,000 BCE: Two eldritch monstrosities, Lavos and Dagon, take a particular interest in Earth. Lavos circles around the earth, speeding up the evolution of humans and Reptites (a race of anthropomorphic dinosaurs), while Dagon takes to the deepest point of the sea to give birth to the Deep Ones.

While the humans would fare the same as in OTL, the Reptites would be wiped out with the rest of the dinosaurs.

It rampages through town until it is shot dead and taken to the U.S. Government for study. People are confused as to how this happened. The T-Rex's body now lays in the Smithsonian.

I make forum games more than anyone else. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.2006: It rains millions of Yoshi eggs and they all hatch!

Hot take: I actually like Yoshi's New Island and it's soundtrack.![]()
Not much changes, actually. Well, aside from the Fourth World becoming a Thor storyline.
Darkseid replaces Thanos as the new Big Bad of the MCU, becoming the villain of Infinity War and Endgame.
His name is John Egbert, but we'll get back to him later.
Got another?

The sales of the Sega Dreamcast motivates them to keep making consoles.
Although 1892 Italy is shocked to find the world as changed, they still work on making alliances. Umberto I is never assassinated, and the Kingdom remains stable.
Also conversely in 1999:
Lavos stirs, bearing a prophetic vision that the world will fall to ruin in the next century. In order to prevent this from happening, it stops the calamity the only way it can: destroying the world sooner. The timeline splits into two from here.
ATL 5T6U8I: The world as we know it is destroyed. The remnants of humanity try to survive in the ruin.
ATL 642JF0: Crono, a time traveler from the year 1000, along with his ragtag band of friends, defeat Lavos, leaving humanity to destroy itself. Two years later, the World Trade Center is attacked by Middle Eastern terrorists, beginning the downward spiral.

On March 13th 2000, the entire population of Oregon becomes Sasquatches.
On January 22nd, 2005, Giant Krakens start attacking ships in the Caribbean.

While I like this, I sadly won't allow it.
New rule: no events that lead to Earth's destruction. I deem this non-canon.
1. Due to reverse engineering, the Midwest becomes the new technological center of America, apart from Silicon Valley.
2. The Sasquatches cause mayhem in Oregon. Oregon becomes a protected park to keep these bigfeet safe.
3. People begin hunting these kraken, often failing.

The capital collects as many cats and dogs as it can and gives them away to families. The rest become wild dogs & cats.
In 2010, over 2 million Germans find themselves in a future unlike their own. While some kill themselves, most of them adapt to their new environment.
For these upper two events, investigations into these phenomena prove inconclusive.

- Se7en
- Jumanji

- Michael Crichton's The Lost World

Are in the public domain.
Anyone got another?
I make forum games more than anyone else. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.Toy Story is in the public domain, and we’re only one year away from the same being true of the first Pokémon games.
The feral cats and dogs start adapting to the wild, although obviously it may take some time.
Anyway, I decide to introduce fruits from our planet to the world in 2004. They’re poisonous, but not if you don’t eat their cores. The rest of them tastes quite good, so they soon flood the food market.
I’m a he (it says so on my troper page).

Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!

Alien Space Bats (AS Bs) are a neologism for implausible events happening in alternative history.
In this game, we are a group of alien space bats who travel back in time, and make crazy events happen in any year we please.
Zombie Apocalypse? Why not?
Alien invasion? Go ahead!
Make it rain Shrek DV Ds in 1979? You got it!
Make an ASB event, and I'll document how it changes history.
We'll be making these events on the same timeline, and once it's changed the world enough, we move to a new one.
Example:
Poster 1: In 1993, A giant hand appears across America that crushes a random person with its finger every day.
Poster 2 (me): Some people believe it to be God's hand. Others believe it to be an alien. In any case, people do their best to stop the hand, eventually killing it in 1996.
Got it? Good!
Have fun!
