  1. WI: Potty training your kid as early as possible becomes popular?

    ...Three technical courses at a time, it’s usually a disaster in making. And as technical classes, I count such things as economics and linguistics. * I got an F in calculus in high school at age 18, an F the first time in college at age 20, a B the very next semester. Then when I retook...
  2. [Discussion] With Neolithic-Mesolithic PODs, can pure conlanging create plausible alt-languages?

    Its generally considered the limit of historical linguistics
  3. WI Larger and better Poland pre ww2 Effects?

    This isn't that different to actual interwar Poland. Some previous posters highlighted the issues this has (more poor and therefore more likely to be hostile Ukrainians, NDP being pissed about Poland not being homogenous, numerous Germans in Prussia). Latvia imho is too small and too far away to...
  4. WI: Richard II Has a Henry VIII Type Succession Scenario

    The boys grew up together, but it doesn't seem the were particularly close. Henry is often described as a rough-and-tumble boy's boy and Richard is ... well, he's not. It seems that as they grew into adulthood, Richard became sensitive of the "royal golden boy" image that Bolingbroke developed...

    WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    I missed the part where bureaucrats pushed Uncle Joe out of power. How much appeasing did he do after 1932?
  6. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    In my opinion, I believe Chinese colonization will be different from European ones and somewhat more similar to what happened to the Chinese that settled in S.E Asia and mingled with the natives.

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Maybe not but it could be less successful than it was in our own timeline. I doubt many people enjoyed seeing Spock die. It could turn people away from a potential successor. This is 1983, not 1987-88. Alot can happen in 4-5 years.
  8. Explain the AH Quote

    The beginning entry on describing The Republic Of China, known as the 3rd China, on Encyclopedia Britannica. Founded by the Chinese Democratic League going to Hainan and Taiwan and latter getting Hong Kong and Macau, it showed a modern and open China, standing against the other 2 Chinas. The...
  9. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    If Souchon manages to pass his ships through the Strait of Gibraltar undamaged and fill his coal bunkers in Portugal or Spain - what then? He's temporarily scot free. The British battlecruisers haven't caught up with him up because they had to refuel at Gibraltar while he was refuelling in...

  11. Aftermath of a successful Suez Crisis

    Yes, if there is one thing that is able to rally them to the west, its another blatant colonization, directed at the cultural heart of the arabian world. ;) Expect even anti-communist people to become staunchly pro-Soviet.

    MotF 233: Mare Nostrum

    During the second half of the 6th century, there where several ambitious emperors in the west declaring their intent to recover the lost territories in the east. Those ambitions where partly realized with the reclamation of Egypt and the Middle East from the Ostrogoths, Asia Minor from the...
  13. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    This is false verses in the Quran detail how the people accused him of using the tales of former people. Read Surah an nahl verse 103
  14. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL
    Threadmarks: 1512 - Eleanor of Burgundy

    Archduchess Eleanor of Austria-Burgundy was the eldest daughter and first child of Philip the Fair of Burgundy and Joanna I of Castile, and without any doubt the greatest match in circulation, but that was not enough for save her from heartbreaks, starting with the total absence of any...
  15. AHC More powerful British Monarchy

    William IV managing to get a government he likes after dismissing Melbourne. Victoria dying in 1862/70. Charlotte of Wales surviving
  16. WI Larger and better Poland pre ww2 Effects?

    Polands central problem was that it pissed of both Russia and Germany - that wouldn't save it from that, In fact given the numbers of Germans there it might lead to the situation that the UK won't defend Poland. Or maybe an earlier partition. Poland didn't need to be stronger (because it could...
  17. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Th There is really no set rules it kinda depends on who you ask.
  18. Name for a Liverpool/Manchester Megacity?

    Wilberforce? Though he was from near Hull. Maybe something for Thomas Clarkson? His speech in Manchester was pretty important for the local movement. And he was nearly killed by a gang of sailors in Liverpool so maybe he is relatable? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Clarkson...
  19. AHC More powerful British Monarchy

    Well, that depends on the POD I imagine. Pre-17th century? Charles I wins the ECW? No/defeated Glorious Revolution? A successful Jacobite restoration or Queen Anne's son surviving? The Georges actually being interested in government. George III successfully challenging parliament? Victoria being...
  20. Have Buck Rogers In The 25th Century be as successful as Star Trek

    Yeah, there was a relatively respectable remake of the slasher flick My Bloody Valentine a few years back. When the original movie was released in the early 80s, it got dismissed as a low-budget shitfest that only got produced because the Canadian government was giving tax-breaks to help employ...
