What if...

Sometimes I think of what if: What if Einstein lived longer? What if Ramanujan lived longer? What if Stephen Hawking didn't get an illness that prevented him from moving? What if gravity on Earth was different than it really is? What if when I woke up I found out I was not a person but now I was a pokemon? What if the world were all one country? What if I had the same illness as Stephen Hawking? What if the Babbage Analytical Timesharing System existed now? What if HTTP was designed differently than it is now? What if pokemons was real? What if magic was real? What if HTML was designed as a binary format? What if everyone lived longer? What if I was born in a different country? What if the English language didn't exist? What if any country suddenly changed their official language?

What if I had some of these special powers? Or, what about you? If you had special powers like this, what would it be to you? Of course, neither you nor me will ever has this it is just to think about other things, sometimes it does have something to do with somethings that we don't know about yet. Here is a list that I made up:

• Power to fly: It would be OK, but probably I still wouldn't know how to get there.
• Power to have all the money in the whole world: No, this would be just as bad as dividing all the money in the world equally between everyone, and money would still be completely useless.
• Power to have an infinite amount of money: I would think I would mess up the economy like this, probably I would want to keep track of all the accounting for more than I possibly could if I had this power. Probably is best not to have a power such as this one.
• Power to get a lot of discounts on everything: This would be better than the two above ones about money, even though greedy people might prefer the other two.
• Power to write computer programs faster: This would be a good power for me to have.
• Power to commit suicide: I don't need that because it is better to live than to die. If I wanted to commit suicide anyways I can do it in other ways other than just this, anyways.
• Power to be invisible: Probably if I was invisible I wouldn't do what everyone says, such as kill everyone and steal stuff and bad things like that, but I might do try to remove the DMCA and other things like that.
• Power to be the prime minister: I wouldn't know how to be prime minister. I would probably make everything wrong, even though I have a lot of good ideas.
• Power to not require sleeping: If I had that I would have more time to do other stuff.
• Power to cast magic spell: Probably neither me nor other people should have the power to cast magic spell too much, because you might make mess up everything.
• Power to give an infinite amount of money to charity: This is bad for the same reason as having an infinite amount of money.
• Power to read minds: This isn't good for me. It would be better if I didn't have that power and neither did anyone else.
• Power to transform into many different things including things that aren't real: This would be good. If I had this I would try to be many different sizes and forms and see what if it was like this, what if that was that, this was not this, etc and see what is better. Of course you also need powers to change back as well.

What if...

You didn't make this topic?

Then I guess you wouldn't reply to this topic. It isn't really a problem, but now I did make this topic so whoever likes it can read it.

What if.. you read and post something actually meaningful?

K done.
