We smashed another week, so we’ve earned some fun! Today’s game is what if… someone posts a what if question, eg “what if you won the lottery” and the next person answers it and poses their own what if question. Have fun!

      I like to imagine that the animals are the same intelligence as before but we can understand them?

      In that case, I think it would mostly be super annoying and creepy (especially birds omg can you imagine??), but there’d be some sweet highlights with beloved companions and fascinating interactions with cephalopods and cetaceans. I feel like apes would really be a “through a mirror darkly” kind of sitch, even more so than now.

      We’d also need to adjust our ethical, cultural, and legal frameworks, too!

      What if humans could get all of their nutrients directly from the sun and air and water?
