Thank you, lordroel. How about a 'What Would Atmospheric Lifeforms Look Like?' thread (which is inspired by an AH.com scenario with this premise)? Would that be too frivolous, because otherwise it'd obviously belong in the ASB forum. Think unless it proves they can exist, the ASB Board will be the place to put it in. Thank you again. What about a ‘Most Interesting AH Elections’ thread?

I get the feeling that something like 'How Might A Presidential Candidate Win In A Fifty-State Landslide?' would belong in the same board?

What about a ‘Strangest Alternate Religions’ thread? Intuitively, I’d assume that ‘Before 1900’ is the best place for it, but due to how touchy the subject can be, I’m not sure if it should go somewhere else.

Think it can be best placed in Politics and Current Affairs due the subject being about religion.

What about a ‘How Long Will The Twentieth Century Remain In Public Consciousness For?’ thread? For one, I expect the World Wars to loom rather large throughout the current century unless—or until—they’re eclipsed by an even larger, nastier conflict down the road. Though our descendants will probably care a whole lot less about it by that point, maybe an interplanetary war that leaves billions dead will be what does the job for good.

It’d be to discuss how accurate our results are when we try and figure out how to speech extant languages, such as ancient Latin and Greek. Both of which we certainly have a semblance of. But thanks to how many records have been lost to time and the lack of audio/video until the last century or so, I doubt our reconstruction efforts are 100% perfect.

Wel this sounds historic related, thus General Historical Discussion might be the place to post it in.

As more of an ASB premise now, what about ‘Freshwater Cephalopods’—which asks about the plausibility and implications of octopuses, squid, nautiluses, and other such tentacled invertebrates coming to dwell in lakes and rivers? I ask, because I’m not sure whether it’s capable of standing on its own or is too frivolous to become its own thread?

Think it is to frivolous to have its own thread as there most likely is not going to be much discussion about it.

On that note, would a 'English Remains Mainly Germanic' thread be too frivolous, despite being a 'Before 1900' thread? In case it's not clear, the premise is that the English language doesn't borrow nearly as many words and terms from other languages like French and Spanish (among others), a tendency that it's very much known for thanks to British exploration efforts IOTL.
