The universe where my comment gets upvoted on this thread
You’re there!
Hang on…is this also the universe where the lizard people are in charge?
Depends on how reliable you think my Uncle Charlie is.
He seems like a hoopy frood.
The one where my Mum was delayed by 30 seconds the day she died in a car crash 25+ years ago.
Im sorry to read that. Hope things are not too bad.
The one where humans were smart enough not to destroy their own planet.
That would mean less greed as greed let to cheaper options to fuel factories and power cars., in exchange for more profit. However greed is our human nature (sadly). So someone else would have made a point to destroy the environment if it would solely benefit them.
Alas, greed is bred (past sence of breding) into the western societies and then ‘exported’ from Europe via the US as base for economics to all other areas of the globe. I get the feeling it was ‘enhanced’ by the middle-eastern trinity of religions, Jewism, Catholism and Muslism (correct spelling?) which places humans above anture instead of smack in the middle of it and totally depending on it.
That one that deviated from ours shortly after the big bang with the planet sorta like Earth but with a later stage sun and 16 other planets in the system. Specifically the one with higher oxygen content than ours, yellow tree-like plants, and where the main intelligent species looks sorta like 7 legged dogs and sound like they’re laughing when they speak.
I don’t know but I hope it’s one that has an actual map of the multiverse
It’s a little depressing to say, but the one where I’m truly and completely happy. I want to see that or at least get to see how to achieve it
There is no such thing as truly and completely happy. Happiness is not a state of existence.
Yeah in this universe maybe, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be possible in another universe
Because even if you achieve happiness there will be something that will bother you. It is in our human nature to look more at the bad sides than the good sides.
Money: a billionaire stills has problems avoiding taxes and losing all assets.
Early-pension: people need a purpose to do something, otherwise you will get bored.
One happy family: outside influences (boyfriend/girlfriend) can negatively influence you.
However it’s not all bad, we just have to focus less on the negative sides and look to what we can achieve.
As a great though experiment start to write to yourself from there and then take on the personality of that person and respond.
What would they say to you? Obviously things go wrong in every universe so how does that alternate universe you mentally frame issues. What decisions do they make when faced with choice.
( trying this with bard led me to being a cyborg this made me like AI more and trust it less)
Would be great to see a version of Earth where humanity wasn’t snared by religion.
One where everything is alright
I do assume that a (real, unlike places we come up with here) place which had no problems or was perfect could not exist.
Plus - in who’s point of view would it be perfect?
One where I was born a girl.
To be honest, I’d be genuinely curious if they went through their own struggles with expectations, especially ones tied to apparent gender identity. Hell, do they even identify the same way I do? What ripples throughout my entire sense of self could have been caused just by something so seemingly simple?
Would we be even remotely alike?
Probably have consequences on my psyche, but meh. Waking up each day is, too.
Ooooh, I like this idea! I would also be curious - would be awesome to check this out!
Tbh, the star trek TNG universe probably. Go see a post scarcity society, a world where humanity really made it, then go find a job on a starship for a while
I would love to see a world where ww1 (and thus in follow up ww2) would not have happened. So many things in our daily lives have been influenced by the world wars.
Id like to imagine Germany would’ve become a superstate before it happened in our lifetime. Focusing on industrialization and cooperation with other nations around it to improve the products at the time.
I think industrialized warfare was inevitable.
Fair but so many things we have today come from those 2 wars. So without them the world would be really different.
I agree with that too. I’m just saying if Franz hadn’t been assassinated, something else would have set someone else off to start an industrial war.
an universe with anthro animal people would be nice…
Found the furry!
And ngl, may I join?
the more the merrier uwu
if you can make yourself useful in a starship, even better
My background is quite technical, and I think I can wrap my head around piloting, so I think I can
and humans as animals?
it wouldn’t be that much of an alternative universe tho 😄
The one where my mom never had cancer.
The one where Ronald Reagan didn’t win the presidential election
some scifi universe where they hand out anti aging perfect health pills like tic tacs. That would probably be a pretty interesting place to check out for some time. If it’s an innate ability to travel and I don’t have to worry about getting stuck in a universe, I’d probably want to check out some questions like “what if the Roman empire collapsed way earlier?” or “what if someone killed Hitler as a child?” or “what if religion didn’t have such an appeal to people?” (though I suspect I’d be going back to the first universe with the last question).
In the past religion was key to keep the population together under a single purpose. Nowadays that’s not needed anymore, but back then the church had a lot of control. Without religion bonding the people the Norms and values would be different than what they are now. However we can’t exactly speculate what would’ve happen since our society was build around religion.
And what would have been an alternative purpose, if it wasn’t religion 🤔
Skip the pill, pick one where you can transfer you consciousness to robots that look perfectly human, but are stronger and faster and all that. You could skydive without a parachute and swap bots if you took damage.
Eh, I don’t know, I’m not yet convinced mind uploading is philosophically unproblematic. I’d rather get as much use as possible out of the ol’ meat mecha before considering that.
