The "What If" game!

Subject: The "What If" game! Mon Mar 21, 2011 3:08 am

One user poses a "What If...?" question. The next answers the question by suggesting what they think would happen. Then we do it again with a new question. That's the "What If..." game in its entirety. What, you expected more?

Here's an example. Suppose I asked "What if there was no moon?". You'd then post what you think would happen if there was no moon, for example, "Nights would become a lot darker and there'd be less tides". You don't have to start the question "What if", but it must follow the same kind of idea, and use the words "what" and "if".

I'll start. What would happen to the words "noob" and "pwned" if the Internet had never existed?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Wed Mar 23, 2011 1:32 pm

Why, boob would not have a word to rhyme with and pwned would only be known as pound in its entirety; shame wouldn't it?

What if the world made it so that you only had one chance at love regardless if you missed the chance, messed up the chance, or they pass away?

(I'm actually quite interested in this as I've always pondered over this but never really asked anyone their opinion.

Well a select few would obtain happiness. The rest would descend into a drunken state of despair. The World's population wouldn't be able to support itself, a mad scientist would clone velociraptors in an attempt to fill the void left in his heart only to be eaten by them. The raptors would then take advantage of mankind's decline and become the ruling species of the earth. O.O

And that brings me to MY what if scenario: What if dinosaurs never went extinct?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Fri Mar 25, 2011 4:18 pm

More humans and animals would die.
My question: What if Toys won't exist?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Fri Mar 25, 2011 5:28 pm

Well Lewa, if toys never existed, little boys and girls would do things such as play sports or run around playing tag and would spend their time outside. Once upon a time in America that use to happen all the time... lol. Oh and I should add more people would be serious seeing that toys create enjoyment and imagination, the world would lack either which would be a shame. =/

What if you went hiking one day and you happened to get your arm crushed and stuck between a rock and there was no way to pull it out. Seeing that no one is around to help you and that you couldn't call for help, what would you do and why?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sat Mar 26, 2011 4:36 am

Someone's been watching 127 hours Razz

Well, I'd have my phone with me for a start, but there probably wouldn't be any signal...I'd be reluctant to hack off my own arm o.O but I guess if there was no other option I'd have to. Makes a good ice-breaker in future conversations Razz

What if there were these three kids... A clever girl, an orphaned boy and another ginger guy and they went to this secret school on a train that some people will never see o.O What if they started waving sticks about and weird things happened? What if... There was a guy with two faces o.O or a dog with three? Shocked

Catch my drift? silent

Guest

If there was a dog with 3 faces I would adopt it
What if there was no porn?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sat Mar 26, 2011 2:00 pm

Mmm... So many things wouldn't happen. For starters, more marriages would last because husbands (maybe wives) wouldn't be tempted to seek that kind of thing when their marriage turns sour... I would believe cheating would be limited because of the fact that they would have no main influence to do so. I would think strip clubs and "shops" wouldn't exsit due to the fact that there would be no main influence in the first place without porn. Dvd's and the internet would be safer with less pervs surfing and buy things due to no porn. Spring vacations would be less wild with the fact that the only thing that would encourage bad behavior during spring vaction would be drinking. Television and movies would be less sexual in nature because there would be no influence for the writers to draw upon for sexual behavior. The list goes on and on, but the good thing from all of this would be that people would focus more on loving a person for who they are and their personality more so then the physical appearance and what they can do in bed.

What if vulpix and ninetails were never created? o.O

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sat Mar 26, 2011 2:16 pm

Well, on the one hand, there'd be no Shiny Ninetails, which means no demonic-looking foxes - which I'd miss greatly; and Flareon would be left as the only Fire Fox type, which doesn't seem fair.

On the other hand, it would throw out the entire original Mystery Dungeon storyline because there'd be no Ninetails curse; we could have cut some of the more stupider early anime episodes involving Vulpix which often got very "cutesy"... damn, I wish it was a reality now!

What if we only had white bread and not brown bread?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sat Mar 26, 2011 11:32 pm

All of these long winded responses make me feel like I have to write a long response too... Nah.

The world would be a tastier place with just white bread.

What if a volcano erupted in the middle of the continental US?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:56 am

Fried magikarp comes to mind Razz

Wouldn't be a total loss, the GMT lads would be fine Wink

Then again, the decent TV shows would stop filming and we'd have to watch little britain *shudders*

It's actually quite possible though. There's a supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park which would more or less annihilate America if it erupted. I don't know if you yanks will be able to see our news so I'll quote.

"The super-volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming has been rising at a record rate since 2004

It would explode with a force a thousand times more powerful than the Mount St Helens eruption in 1980.

Spewing lava far into the sky, a cloud of plant-killing ash would fan out and dump a layer 10ft deep up to 1,000 miles away.

Two-thirds of the U.S. could become uninhabitable as toxic air sweeps through it, grounding thousands of flights and forcing millions to leave their homes.

Anyway, while we're on the topic of armageddon Razz

What if, there was a huge meteor heading towards earth, it will wipe out everything.Your president or prime minister tells you we have one day before it hits. What do you do for your last day?

Also...

That was meant for me huh -.-
You just watch your back o.O

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:39 am

Lol! If I was alone and unloved at that time, I would take a camcorder and record the last day EXACTLY like Cloverfield. I would basically film every painic soul I see and ask them what they're doing on their last day and when all of them say they are saying goodbye to all their love ones, and I would be all sad and say goodbye to my family, my friends, and the ones I had once love. Then I would record the meteor landing somewhere in the far distance listening to the shrills and the sobs of people around me and then the quick and all at once firey combustion that engulfs the earth. My last words would be "This is it".

AND if I were to have a love one; girlfriend, we'd get married that day and spend the last day of our existence together at least knowing one of the things we both wanted to accomplish before we died would happen. If we were already married, we'd spend the morning in bed talking, we'd take a walk in the park in the mid-morning, have a nice lunch at a fancy resturant, go back home and watch a few movies, and head to the beach in the evening to watch the sunset for the final time in our lives. We'd spend the last hours of the night laying down on a blanket in a forest watching the stars and the comets in the sky. We'd kiss at 11:59pm and hold our kiss until the meteor hits Earth and engulfs us in a firey combustion.

What!? I just made this up right now! Don't give me that look like I had the ending of the world planned pre-maturely and I knew exactly how to spend the last day of my life with someone o.0

Anyways, I figure something like that is far beyond my time on this world and by the time it actually does happen, it would be too late to be prepared. I guess living life not knowing what would happen in this world is the thrill of living. But the whole volcano in Yellowstone, it's not going to happen. As much as evidence and reserach has been compiled, it's just not going to. Take my state for example. Basically I live next to the San Andreas fault, and let me tell you, of the 18 years I have lived here, there have only been 2 earthquacks worth mentioning. Point in all that, is that an earthquack the size of Japan's is just not possible here. There is also evidence the strongest would be 8 which is strong but not near as powerful. The first was the Northridge Quack which was a strong one but not even close to that of Japan. And the second one was in 2009 in summer where Chino got hit with a 6.8 and that was the first quack I could account for and honestly it wasn't nothing. I know the quack in Japan, Hurrican Katrina, the Earthquacks in Chile and Haiti has the world scared that these things could be a sign.. but in fact they are natural disasters, and that how they should be looked at that instead of the world coming to an end. Let me tell you how annoying it gets hearing people believe we have one more year to live. It's the fact that they think a world could possible come to an end in one day. And although nukes and such could cause the end of civilization, it would be impossible to believe that the world could be killed in one day. It would take more than that, and I couldn't possible phantom the thought of anything other a nuclear holocaust that could wipe out mankind, not the earth. Anyways, my thoughts on it Happy

And yeah I wanted to see you response Euph on that one lol. But watch my back!? o.o Did you read Jinji's response on that D:

After my long winded response, this is my next question. What if you had this The "What If" game! Chevy_camaro_2010

but when no one is around you, it TRANSFORMS into a robot and tells you that you are summoned to help them protect the world's existince by finding a cheap rubix cube hidden within the Hoover Dam. Oh btw, you have a hot girlfriend who looks like Megan Fox. What what would you do? Would you want to save the planet?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:52 pm

Forget the quest and the girl, I jut want the car. Man-kind will probably save itself anyway and the girl isn't gonna share my car. So basically, I would just ditch that quest and the girl and keep the awesome transforming car to myself.

What if vehicles were never invented?

Then I'd be leading a war against humans as they tried to use bird's as viehicles >_> (obviosly we would win Awesome

)

What if you saw yourself as a ghost?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:21 pm

I'd ask if they knew Jinji and suck them up into a vacuum if they didn't.

What if it rained ginger ale? O.o

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:41 pm

Well, first off Canada would lose out on their profit selling ginger ale Happy

Also, there would be less stomach aches as all you have to do is stick out your tounge and drink the ginger ale that rains down... Wow what a non-thought provoking question felipe -.-

What if you had money for one trip anywhere in the world for one week. Where would you go and why?

Guest

If I had the money to go anywhere for a week I would go to Portugal and bring all my mates over there because everything owns there.
What would you do if you if it was your birthday and you were going out for a drink and you went to withdraw money from your account and your balance was $0.03?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 6:10 pm

I'd be glad I had a savings account Razz

All seriousness, that whole situation would be an impossibility to me. Being as I'm a Ghost Pokemon and all... but if I could, I'd probably just try turning on the charm or something. If you know a few tricks, you'll be surprised what you can manage...

Speaking of getting pissed... this might be a little gross, but what if that (and I don't mean alcohol) was all you could ever drink? Sorry, but I was dared to ask this question by someone I greatly respect.

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 6:17 pm

I would die of dehydration as would much of the rest of the population.

What if the scam that is bottle water was never concocted?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 6:51 pm

The Soft Drink business would be bigger than ever.

What if North Dakota and South Dakota merged into a single Dakota?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:44 pm

Then we'd have a perfect square number of states.

Here's a thought provoking question:
What if Chaos, like Nonexisting matter, the balance of Good and Bad; could MIX with the Existing Good and Bad Universes and take our its traits/elements and was bent on balancing itself out with us to make some sort of ONE united Half-Existing World?? TELL MEEEE I can't really give much more detail or I'd be answering my own question.

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 10:53 pm

The world would implode on itself. Simple as that.

What if Mac had asked something serious!?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:01 pm

Than it was a failed attempt with very bad grammar which made the question EVEN MORE confusing than what it was meant to be. When I asked for a thought provoking question, I meant one that makes me think while having a logical answer to it -.-

What if your house was Disneyland (in California). Describe a day in your life at your home.

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:13 am

I'd get up, eat some toast, watch TV, eat dinner, watch TV, eat tea, laugh at the poor people below, shower and sleep. Disneyland gets boring after a while, especially when you live in the castle Razz

What if electricity stopped working?

Subject: Re: The "What If" game! Sun Apr 10, 2011 4:19 pm

Then I'd break out my old nuclear generator I've been hiding and just use that until the FBI finds me.

What if Taylor Swift was gay?
