    If anyone is wondering why I haven't been active in the past months, I've moved to Sufficient Velocity.

  2. WI: FDR killed in William D porter Incident

    Truman was VP from 1944. Henry Wallace was VP.

  3. WI: FDR killed in William D porter Incident

    In OTL the Porter's Chief Torpedoman, who had failed to remove the primer, was sentenced to 14 years hard labor, and FDR intervened on his behalf. If FDR was killed, along with presumably Iowa crewmen and the ship taking heavy damage and possibly sinking, there's no way that he and anyone else...

  4. The nicest Versailles to Germany in 1919

    The lightest treaty you can get is essentially a return to the status quo, with the exception that German colonies overseas go to the Entente. But in real life that wouldn't have happened unless the war ended in a stalemate, with neither side clearly winning or losing. Perhaps going easy on war...

  5. WI: 9/11 happened in 1995

    Because it already had. There were already lots of people around the world online at that time.

  6. WI: 9/11 happened in 1995

    So tell me, how would the US deal with massive negative public reaction? More importantly, what would happen as public Internet spread across the world?

  7. WI: 9/11 happened in 1995

    And how would this be enforced when the US already had public Internet? You're also forgetting that most other countries would continue to allow public Internet access. If you somehow got this dystopia, it would really set the US back on the world stage.

  8. WI: The A4 were more forgiving towards Germany?

    The OP should have made this clear, but by A4, he's referring to the Atomic Four from CalBear's AANW timeline. This is essentially a what if question for that timeline.

  9. In an alternate 2018, what things, had they never happened, would be considered ASB?

    Think of various events throughout history. Supposing we lived in an alternate timeline, what OTL occurrences, had they never happened, would be most likely to spur a reaction of "come on" had they been posted here?

  10. Did Veterans of Major 19th Century Wars Fight in WW2?

    Although he didn't fight in World War II, I did once read about a man who fought as a guerrilla in the US Civil War at age 12, and was working in an aircraft factory during World War II.

  11. French-Ivorian War in 2004

    Suppose this had led to an all-out war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_French%E2%80%93Ivorian_clashes Let's say that in response to the French destruction of the Ivorian Air Force, and the resulting clashes between Ivorian citizens and the French military, during which French troops clash...

  12. Would you have lasted in 1983?

    Fun fact, when I saw the title, for a second I thought this was asking those of us who weren't around back then if we could have possibly stood living in that distant time when computers with less processing power than a modern smartphone were considered state of the art.

  13. Would you have lasted in 1983?

    I said most, not all. I'm pretty sure the average poster on this site is in his/her 20s.

  14. Would you have lasted in 1983?

    The majority of posters on this board (myself included) weren't even born in 1983, and due to the massive butterflies never would be.

  15. Jack the Ripper caught?

    HH Holmes was so prolific his victim toll is thought to possibly reach up to 200, plus it was the elaborate way he did it, IE going to the trouble of setting up an entire frigging hotel to carry out his scheme. He might not have faded completely into obscurity, but his fame would be nowhere near...

  16. Jack the Ripper caught?

    I don't think Jack the Ripper had surgical knowledge. Perhaps some anatomical knowledge from working in butchery. Even the police surgeon who examined one of the bodies concluded that the perpetrator had to have had a good deal of anatomical knowledge, but even he concluded that this could have...

  17. African countries that could have become first world countries?

    Botswana. It's considered an African success story today. It went from being dirt-poor even by Sub-Saharan African standards to one of the most developed countries in Africa today, although it's still middle income. It probably will be the first Sub-Saharan African country to reach developed status.

  18. Jack the Ripper caught?

    I think he'd probably be forgotten by now. Do you know the name Amelia Dyer by any chance? She was much worse. If the theories that it was some bigshot or royal are true, then of course it would be remembered, and it would be slightly more remembered if it was a female serial killer (they exist...

  19. AHC: Majority Female Military

    Or they're just try to recruit short men and modify the combat vehicles. Men tend to have better depth perception than women, and the greater strength gives an advantage in loading shells into tanks.

  20. Most spoken languages in 1492 AD?

    No way Italian can be on this list. Back then what is now Italy had a whole bunch of different languages, or dialects, and the language now known as Italian was Tuscan at the time. It was picked as the national language in 1861, and the process of turning it into Standardized Italian began.
