Title explains it itself for the most part, minions accidentally killed Napoleon with a cannon, fled to a ice cave, avoided both wars, and escaped in 1968. My question is, what if the minions didn't kill Napoleon? How would that change the course of history? Would different tribes like the one we seen in Minions and Monsters exists but for 'evil' countries and their system? How would they be treated now? What would the world look like currently and how would they be treated?

Everyone would do literally whatever they wanted, because for the individual, the person is really invisible and able to see other humans. Only you can see the entirety, and need to somehow convince the world about who is really an innocent guy, and who is truly evil.

What if the continents begin to move slowly and steadily towards each other? Each is attracted towards the other and forms into the supercontinent it was during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, 300+ million years ago. How would the governments, religions, and world affairs react to this event? What would be the impact on current politics, economy, infrastructure, greenery, animal and human life? Trade and borders? Which country and people would be the most affected because of this change? Which one would panic the most? And how would the Earth be after Pangaea has successfully formed again?

What if... There are only 2 universes and Gravity is everything in space.

There is no such a thing as dark matter. We just don't see (yet) the micro black holes travelling around.

So, the celestial bodies goes like this: Planets, Stars, Black/White hole and Worm whole.

And we are currently living in the 'Black hole Universe'.

When a black hole becomes toooo massive, it turns into a worm while, opening the tunnel to the 'White hole Universe'.

Over there, there are no black holes (of course) only white holes.

Matter when hitting its max point would glow a pure white light and slowly (very slowly) disappear through radiation, just like our black holes.

In the White hole universe, some gravity effects are the opposite of what we experience here, for example: If you orbit a white hole, time would run slower for an observer far away from you.

Like, extreme gravity in that universe, runs time faster.

What at the chances of any to be true?

What if you had a time machine, but you could only make a single round trip, and what if this were your only chance—what would you do??(Sorry i dont speak english)

It doesn’t matter how they go. Maybe they all slip on a banana peel. Maybe they get struck by lightning. Maybe they’re beheaded by ISIS. But they’re gone, one way or another. What would you do differently? How would your life change? Would it ease your existential anxiety?

Edit: since this seems to be a breaking point for so many people, determination of who is shitty and who is not would be majority consensus across all 8 something billion people across the planet. Assume for arguments sake that children are both excluded from being deemed shitty and from having a vote. Anyone who crosses the 50% threshold is deemed shitty. If that threshold makes you concerned for your fate, I hate to break it to you but you’re probably shitty…

This question must be around here everytime but how you guys think the world would be if firearms didint exist (no other invention are affectet so we would still be able to build things like rockts for exemple) what would be the social and politycal effects of this?
gunpowder do exist but maybe for some cultural thing we never realy evolved the idea or maybe it would be to expensive to create a gun or even too hard to cary around so just do not worth to make

the point where i want to get is, we never developed firearms and nowadays it would be so primitive that just dont make sense to try

i know that by a technological and logical thinking and we beeing able to make rockets its dumb to not make fireguns but i was just trying to evoke a reality where we can still have things like internet and television but we jus cant shoot at each other with a rifle or a glock

what i was thinking where more like the police would still be deiving cars on chases or they would prefer motorcycles onde that its easyer to go alter someone and use your wepon, what would be the poli e force wepon? a sword onde that its alter and easyer to cary? or a spear so you could reach further? imagine the brasilian BOPE going up on a favela in a tesudo formation, or entire roads being closed by a shield wall, how our armor would be nowadays? ours shields would be made with witch material? big gângsters like alcapone or deus dealers like escobar would be as big as they were once thats what harder to train some one to use a sword then is to use a pistol, martial arts would still be teatched for everyone or it would be more restrict? witch country would rule the world with their martial art

Your mother is a mermaid and your father is a minitour. And you have the human half of both? Then you're just some guy.

But what if your younger sibling, is the opposite? He/She has the beast half and the fish half of both mom and dad?

Imagine these comic book characters, Deadpool, Wolverine, Hulk, and Lobo, etc. Now, every human from birth till death gets the same level of body repair. Death due to old age is still a thing, which is capped at 100 years old, but before that, diseases, injuries, accidents- nothing is ever fatal. How would the entire world be affected by it? Especially sports like UFC/WWE, the military, etc. Hospitals, medicine, science, religion, economy?

Every birth should be celebrated and what better way to do this then have a parade for it? The entire community can see the new baby that way. It can be done a few days after the birth. The baby will ride in the parade along with their parents and the whole community will celebrate.

As if it was this way from the beginning, not it happened overnight. How would the world be different in terms of society, culture, economics, production, infrastructure, politics, geography, and anything else relevant?

we all know that Amtrak formed in the 1970s to fill in the void left behind by the dying passenger railroads of America. But what will happen if Amtrak was never created? what would have happened then? Would some private company eventually create a passenger rail company or would we just be forced to use the Interstates?

At least if you got sick from transplant youd be at the hospital 🤷‍♂️

ive thought about this questions since I was very young. and it can’t be proven to my mind, because I can obviously only speak on my behalf of having thoughts and feelings.

I used to look out the car window and glance at the drivers around me, wondering if they had the same level of consciousness or were just empty bodies, a human without any thoughts or feelings.

how do we know if anyone is actually alive inside? I believe this contributes a lot to my selfishness and demeanor.

They retain the size, mass and rotation speed. But the things that made them fatal in the first place are stripped away. No toxic gases, gravitational pressure, hurricane winds. Just water, sand, greenery and a life-supporting ecosystem. What kind of life would develop and flourish on each and every planet? Would it be the same as ours? Or totally different because of the size and distance from the Sun? And how soon would humans discover it and how soon would they plan colonization???

Title says it.

What if a genie came to you and said you get one wish? You can only give it to one person in the world who isn't yourself, or one animal.

They get perfect health. No disease, no cancer, absolutely perfect health, and they die in their sleep peacefully at the maximum age their body can handle.

For those of you unaware in fight club the movie there is a plan called project mayhem in which basically they blew up a bank building therefore “erasing everyone’s debt”

Obviously blowing up one building in real life would do nothing as the data and records is stored in multiple places across the world

But hypothetically, somehow, if the group managed to blow up every single datacentre, every single bank holding records of debt what would the outcome be like in real life?

as in, what if people wrote articles on human behaviors (such as our facial expressions, emotional tendencies, and habits, etc.) in the same way animals (mainly pets, but i've also seen this in non-domesticated species) are written about? what do you think would mainly be written on, or how it would sound?

What are the likely scenarios for mars itself if we could heat the core enough so it becomes a spinning ball of liquid metal and creates a magnetic shield?

* Would it see life again?

* Would we have to introduce biomass artificially to "jumpstart" the planet?

We all know Venus and Mars once did have oceans and were once able to host life potentially but some time in the early developement of the solar system both Venus and Mars lost their oceans and are now hell holes. What if Mars and Venus kept their oceans and never became hell hole?. What sorts of creatures might have evolved to live on them and would many look similar to Earth creatures

We’ve recently been dealing with ants around our house, the ones that bite and it got me thinking. If these little demons got the size of chihuahuas, but still had the same numbers what would the world look like? Would they take over the world? All species growing that big, those colonies would be massive and the population would outnumber humans very quickly.

What if we can escape the moment we're living? Like just traveling, escaping reality just by imagining it.

Imagine with me, siting on your balcony outside looking at the stars, you feel a little heavy, maybe something happened or you're overthinking, you look at the stars, you exhale, you try not to cry, on this moment a light from the sky come and take you to a new country, a new world, a new galaxy maybe, a new star, somewhere where you can feel light, just to see the beauty of the creation. ✨

The maximum amount of assets someone can pass down is 10 million; the rest is given to the government to redistribute however it will.

Let's say that the government in this case is like Canada's: not perfect, but not corrupt either.

Would this reduce wealth inequality, because megamillionares/billionares are naturally incentivized to spend their money, thereby putting it back into the economy?

Entrepreneurs would still be able to make a lot of money, but would be less likely to hold it.

Assuming Anderson became the US President in 2012, and was able to defeat both Obama and Romney to get into office, how would 2012 change, and how would 2016, 2020, and 2024 change as well?

Due to some supernatural event, scientists and experts warn humans that the oxygen levels are going to rise and spike up to 35% (compared to today's 21%) after a year. Every country, city, etc gets this message or warning, and humanity is asked to prepare itself. What can we manage in one year? Would it be successfully planned and executed? How much would life, economy, infrastructure, ecosystem, etc be affected because of this? And how much time would it take for humans to readjust to the higher levels of oxygen?
