What if cats and dogs could talk. To repeat what I've said before, their owners would utterly freak out and some would think they're dreaming. The news media would go bonkers over it and milk the situation for all its worth, maybe even try to get some interviews with the newly talking (and maybe even literate, too!) cats and dogs. The scientific community would no doubt be baffled, working tirelessly to find out how the world's canines and felines suddenly gained sentience and the ability to speak human languages fluently. Governments across the globe would try to get the inevitable chaos under control, and in the mid-term it could become a judicial case as to whether these talking pets should be given the same legal rights and responsibilities as humans. Dogs and cats'' rights groups would spring up and take to the streets as well. |

‘2019 Alt-Right To 1939 Nazi Germany’. How can Alt Right survive in a place like Nazi Germany. Somehow, I doubt that many of its members can. They’d come in worshipping Hitler and the “majesty” of the Third Reich, but I’d guess that a number of them soon “disappear” without a trace. Certainly, plenty of them will be interrogated as to where the Hell they come from and what their business in Germany is, in which case the Reich will find itself in need of far more translators than usual. And not only should the sheer number of people who answer about coming from a future where “degenerate democracy triumphs” and the “evils” of decadence, multiculturalism and peace between different races and ethnicities convince the Nazi authorities that something is up, it may also convince them to change how they approach waging war altogether. Then again, they could also think that it’s yet more “Jewish trickery” or something designed to destroy Germany from the inside out. Further, uptimer information is likely to leak out to some degree. Could foreign—as in Allied—spies and intelligence agencies pick up on what’s going on and act preemptively, I wonder? Also, how might normal Germans who get wind of the supposedly top-secret rumors react to such news? |

What if all mane made structures in the world are replaced by wood, but the ASB makes sure nothing collapse by making it wood as strong as steel when needed.

Well, I think there’s now the concern that in areas with lots of rain and other water build-up, mold might still eat at the wood. Of course, I’m no architect or member of the construction industry, mind you. |

What if people could only speak in movie quotes. |

Actually, could they circumvent that limitation by stitching together different quotes from movies so that they wind up more or less speaking normally? |

Nope, only complete movie quotes, just think Bumblebee in the Transformer movies. |

Nope, only complete movie quotes, just think Bumblebee in the Transformer movies. Oh. Crap. Although, could they still create new movies tailored to normal speech so that the general population at least retains a semblance of normal talking when they quote them? |

Well, this would sure be a mass adjustment. And people would have to watch a whole lot more movies than they already do in order to expand their array of pre-set words and phrases to choose from. Also, I suppose that non-verbal forms of communication like writing and typing are still affected by ASB shenanigans? |
