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!

      1883, three years before Richard Von Krafft Ebing published Psychopathia Sexualis. This gives me enough time to establish myself, become his peer, and steal his work to publish under my own name.

      Why? Because 1886 is the first time the term Anilingus is used in print, with ol’ sexy Richard credited for coining it.

      What if everyone got one extra eye, where would you put it?

      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?

      Yes! I’d really be able to keep myself safe with that skill. I’d hopefully be able to only read them when I wanted to so I wouldn’t abuse it.

      What if you could go back in time to the 1800s and live there, would you do it?

        Ooohhhh so, 1890-1915ish is one of my favorite time periods for historical fashion. If I could guarantee that I was in a humanist centered family with a decent amount of cash, then yeah, I think I would do. I’m imagining myself in flowy lawn dresses with my romantic “lady roommate” 😄
