  1. No WWW until post 2015

    You might also be able to slow it down by having several competing protocols for reading online data. Also, various providers might have "walled gardens" like AOLs old chat room and key word systems, so that AOL users see a different web than the Compuserve users. This would slow down adoption...

  2. John F. Kennedy Assassinated in Berlin, June 1963

    Congratulations on a great timeline. It was believable and gripping, which is a difficult balance to maintain. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

  3. How would the Japanese have defended Normandy?

    Isn't that the main point of ASB timelines? To ask about interesting but historically impossible or profoundly implausible scenarios?

  4. WI: "Halloween" an anthology series

    I wonder if some other Carpenter films might have wound up released as Halloween entries. Prince of Darkness might make an interesting Halloween IV.

  5. List alternate PMs or Presidents

    :hushedface:A world where Agnew, Cheney, and Quayle were all presidents? You maniac! Good work.

  6. List alternate PMs or Presidents

    Very cool! One issue: This seems like a contradiction, unless I am missing something.

  7. No W-An Alternate 2000s TL

    We cannot allow a boondoggle gap!

  8. Nice to have you back! :)

  9. No W-An Alternate 2000s TL

    Each time I read more of this timeline, I am reminded of this video:

  10. No problem. :)

  11. AHC: Expand the British Monarchy's role (POD: post-WWII)

    It is hard to imagine how this could be done under normal circumstances. Divine right isn't a serious political philosophy in most people's opinion anymore. The only thing I could imagine is some dire political crisis (where parliament is incapacitated or in the middle of doing something truly...

  12. No W-An Alternate 2000s TL

  13. No W-An Alternate 2000s TL

    And he'll look down and whisper "No".

  14. Why is Huey Long seen as evil?

    You don't stay a dictator by having your population all hate you.

  15. No W-An Alternate 2000s TL

    I expect to see a lot of resistance from many teachers if this goes through, either protesting or just ignoring the bill and teaching science. On the other hand, I've had a few teachers who would have been delighted not to have to teach "godless evolution," too.

  16. The Towers Still Stand: An Alternate take on early 21st Century America.

    I'm really enjoying this TL. One think that occurs to me, Bush was horrified by US inaction during the Rwandan genocide. He clearly wanted to intervene in Sudan during the Darfur genocide, but there was no political will to do so with the US already in Afghanistan and Iraq. Here (if the...

  17. The Unbroken Glass

    Wow, this is one of the more troubling things I've read on this site. It is very well written though. I think you've done a good job of capturing G.W. Bush's voice.

  18. Ancient antibiotics

    I was reading an article from 2010 in Wired about evidence the Nubians may have been making a sort of "beer" (described as a "sour, porridge like substance" in the article) that functioned as an antibiotic. I have to admit to not being any sort of expert in this area. Could this have been...

  19. WI: Helicopters before Aircraft

    The reason people are objecting is that if you have the technology to build a functional helicopter, you'll have had the ability to make an airplane for some time. Being able to build a toy helicopter is vastly simpler than making a helicopter an actually functional vehicle. It is hard to say...

  20. What does a joint US/USSR moonshot in the 60s look like?

    If Castro fails, or even just takes longer to overthrow Batista you could radically change Kennedy's presidency. I think Kennedy would still be elected, and you'd have no missile crisis, no Bay of Pigs, and Oswald was apparently further radicalized by attempts to undermine Castros. Maybe that...
