    Dawn of the Dead (2004) 15 years after the outbreak...

    Probably not at all. Society collapsed in 24 hours. It's gonna be like a nuclear war scenario where the next valuable thing would be scrap metal and ammunition. See how barter was done in Fear the Walking Dead in that Mexican Safe Zone. Speaking of that, I'm sure the gold reserves at Fort Knox...
  2. What if Napoleon had lived to age 85-90

    Returning the body of a dead Napoleon to France and interring him in a porphyry sarcophagus in the crypt of the Dôme des Invalides was a usefull tool for the Orléans dynasty to bind moderate Bonapartists to the July monarchy, something a living Napoleon, around whom Bonapartists could coalesce...
  3. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Things is the world is a bigger place than just achieving you goals in SV even for the US state dept and as to setting up politics and waging war as opposing things, well there's a Clausewitz quote for that isn't there. I don't think anyone was thinking the Soviets were going to invade? On the...
  4. Pop Culture Oneshot Scenarios

    Azilldog A 2006 animated film spoofing the giant monster genre films, as well as to a lesser extent the tokusatsu genres, created by both the Wayans (also starring them) and Dwayne McDduffie. Set in a world of anthropomorphic reptiles, it humorously tells a classic story of a scientist who...
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Consider the following. Chucky possessing a Teddy Ruxpin doll. If this wasn't in the morning, you'd all have trouble sleeping tonight!

    Dawn of the Dead (2004) 15 years after the outbreak...

    Considering the sheer death toll and humanity's near extinction, I doubt "recover" and "adjust" are the right words...
  7. Alternate warships of nations

    The guns of a big gun ship is a surprisingly small portion of its actual cost. Wiki cites Parks on the Invincible class costing 1.6 million with an additional 90 thousand for armaments. The Hull size the engines and the armour makes much more of an impact on the costs of a large vessel. If...
  8. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    I guess what remains open in my mind, for this whole scenario, is how exactly Austria-Hungary fares in the war. Yes, they're on the winning side, and they've got less to worry about since Italy never joins the war, but it's not exactly clear is they acquit themselves very well, or if they're...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    A page or two back a couple of people suggested it would be a good idea, and I agree with them. Neither Patton nor Korea have played much role in the story for a while now and mentioning MacArthur as President might interest some more folks to come join us :) ...which is why he simply sent...
  10. Dawn of the Dead (2004) 15 years after the outbreak...

    Money will still have value to the optimists, the people who think society will recover and is in a rough patch. Even if not accepted nearly everywhere, they will hoard it (and likely break into banks and collect more). Some warlords or community organizers might insist on continuing to use...
  11. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Mac is bound to have a shock when he realizes that governing a homogenous and pacified nation that’s focused on just rebuilding is very different than governing the US. That is, he’ll have a shock once news and straight-talkers actually can get TO him without the Ned Almond filter. “Gallup says...
  12. Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    Another great chapter when you can. Cover these if you havent' already. Audio description. Audible.com. Brad Dourif.
  13. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Fred Gwynne needs to still be in Pet Sematary. Even if the movie is made a bit smarter than OTL's. I have the idea of someone spinning off the premise of Jason Goes To Hell into its own movie. And making the killer in question a quippy killer like Freddy rather than a silent slasher like Jason...

    Threadmarks: The Trial of Fidel Castro Begins, Valentina Tereshkova, LeMay's Parade and Operation Lion Tamer

    The Trial of Fidel Castro Begins On February 2nd, 1963, the trial of Fidel Castro began. Charged with “high crimes against the Cuban people”, Castro, along with several other survivors of his government, were put on trial for their actions following the Cuban Revolution. They cited Castro’s...
  15. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Poor Mexico this triumvirate cannot last can it.
  16. Largest possible British India?

    Pretty much, They would have autonomy but would still answer to Delhi

    Population of China if the CCP never came to power?

    Going by Taiwan's demographic transition probably another 250 million or so chinese added, with birthrates clearly still in decline.
  18. Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    Liking the Grammer cabinet's reactions to the cybersecurity problems, and a very interesting take on Kaczynski here. And for some reason, reading about the extensive measures KFC takes to protect the 11 herbs and spices recipe made me laugh.

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    It occurred to me that there will still be a "Apollo 11 was a hoax" conspiracy ITTL. Except it won't be that the Moon landing didn't happen. It'll be that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin actually died when the Eagle crashed. Nixon and NASA faked their survival in order to bolster public morale...
