  1. Alternate Extinctions

    Someone posted the idea of saving the Yangtze river dolphin by transplanting some to the Mississippi. How likely is this to work?
  2. Tame the Bison

    Not all animals can be domesticated. You can hand raise a tiger cub and have it imprint on you as a pet. But it's off springs will be just as wild as its ancestors. Some animals are also easy to domesticate. Russian scientists have made little progress with elk in the last 40 years, but...
  3. 1939: The Anglo-Japanese War

    The flaw here is the assumption that Japan wanted to go to war with Britain at this time. IOTL Britain had been appeasing Japan for years and was desperate to avoid war with them when the German threat was taking up all their attention. Japan also had no intention of going to war with Britain...
  4. Nuclear War on the Indian subcontinent

    The Indo-Pakistani wars are some of the least bloody wars in the 21st century. Not counting the civilian toll during partition, the wars themselves are of modest scale with minimal civilian casualties. While there's a lot of bad blood, neither side has ever shown any inclination to really...
  5. Different ubiquitous ethnic restaurants in the US

    I'd like more Portuguese and Spanish restaurants. Brazilian and Chilean food are practically unknown in the US.
  6. Tame the Bison

    The greatest impact domesticating the bison would not be meat but agriculture. If they can be used to plow the land then corn production would increase by orders of magnitude. A more sophisticated agricultural society would change everything. The main population centers of the New World were...
  7. IJN Yamato - A different fate

    What's with the new guys bring back dead threads with their first posts today?
  8. 2005 Star Trek Reboot Cast

    Coincidentally I just wrote a post of doing a Dr. McCoy TV show where he practices medicine in the early 21st century. Like Star Trek meets House. https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=202453
  9. India invades Australia!

    Australia should be easy to conquer. Just surreptitiously deploy rabbits and toads and watch as the continent collapse into the stone age.
  10. Alernative Cusine

    Burritos pretty much fill the niche of the doner kebap in America. Has anyone tried Vietnamese sandwiches? Excellent fusion of the baguette and Vietnamese grill. Doesn't sound like it would work, but it tastes great.
  11. Alernative Cusine

    Speaking of drunk, Chinese restaurants really need something besides beer. I wish they served sangria.
  12. Alernative Cusine

    Those aren't served as dessert though. Restaurants don't serve them as the last course.
  13. The american plans and policy toward Quebec?

    Don't the Canadians say that if Quebec becomes independent, the rest of Canada will join the US?
