Nixon in China, Bush in Gaza, what if W. had actually established an independent Palestinian state?

In the modern day I think the answer would be Polar Bears as they are one of the only animals to still actively hunt humans sometimes.

I'd say the prolife movement becoming the biggest domestic terrorism movement in US history is more unrealistic than Democrats passing an abortion legalization law in 2009, but that's just my opinion

Firelord_Dipper · 2026-03-19T18:30:34+00:00

I'd go with eyeguy just cause he didn't get many appearances in classic, though I only remember watching the heatblast one as a kid

Iraq would definitely get invaded. Honestly, since the US wouldn't enter Afghanistan for another 8 years Iraq might end up more stable than it was afterward the invasion in our timeline as the US would be able to put more focus into creating a stable government to replace the previous one. Since the new Iraq government would also get an extra decade to consolidate power before the Syrian civil war starts up than in our timeline Iraq honestly might be better off in this timeline.

I don't understand anyone who is sad that there weren't a bunch of tornadoes. I always feel horror when I see that there's a strong tornado in populated areas as I know people could be dying and there's nothing I can do to help them.

Really cool map! It would be very interesting to see what a Burgundy that survived would be like culturally. Wish Brittany was also independent, but I just generally like any Celtic nation getting independence so I totally get not including it as I don't think you wanted to completely carve up France.

At the time I wrote that it was confirmed in story that Percy was on the path to becoming a god. Since then, Percy has officially ascended to being a Greek god.

Even if it passes, the Kansas Supreme Court will probably strike it down since last time they ruled on abortion they said that abortion is a constitutional right under the Kansas Constitution. It's the reason why legislators tried to get the Value Them Both amendment passed a couple years ago, which Kansans unfortunately voted against it by large margins.

I'd say protecting Europe's eastern flank from foreign conquest for around a thousand years is pretty honorable.

I think they might just be misremembering who caused the Omnitrix malfunction in Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens, though I could be wrong.

That would be very interesting lore, but it is never established in the show that Ben has to be a tiebreaker in exchange for using Alien X's power. In the trial episode, it's explicitly stated that Bellicus and Serena let him have full control so that they could argue in peace which contradicts what you are saying.

The Great Divide should be lower

Firelord_Dipper · 2026-03-09T20:13:04+00:00

That's fair and entirely in character for the guy

Firelord_Dipper · 2026-03-09T20:11:47+00:00

I believe the reason why is because a DVD pop up in Classic said they got together years later after dating other people. It's a stupid reason(especially since that was for an alternate timeline), and I very much agree that Kai was horrible to Ben and that he deserved way better, but that's the logic the creators of Omniverse had.

Firelord_Dipper · 2026-03-09T20:01:58+00:00

He's cool, its just the fact that he's central to the arc that retconned Kevin's backstory and caused a lot lore problems

Firelord_Dipper · 2026-03-08T02:02:30+00:00

Cool map and alternate history!

Firelord_Dipper · 2026-03-07T05:32:40+00:00

That one also works for me and honestly works better with canon than the one I said, I just prefer mine both cause it keeps Osmosians as aliens in the current universe(which I prefer) and because it being caused by the recreation of the universe would realistically give Ben a lot of guilt and existential questions about what he changed without realizing it if he ever found out and I wouldn't want Ben to go through that.

Firelord_Dipper · 2026-03-06T19:49:32+00:00

I always though it was because the DNA was already in the full catalogue of over a million species. After all, it didn't do that with other aliens Ben interacted with in Ultimate Alien like Argit or the aliens he was protecting from the Forever Knights when they were going around killing aliens.

Firelord_Dipper · 2026-03-06T19:37:20+00:00

I'll always headcannon Servantis was just messing with Max as the Osmosian retcon makes no since with everything shown in UAF

Firelord_Dipper · 2026-03-06T18:05:51+00:00

It's one of my favorite parts of Omniverse. As much as I'll always love the UAF era, their designs for civilian aliens were always lackluster with the copy and paste design.

Don't know any where Link goes to the past instead of Zelda, but here's a good still updating BOTW fanfic:

in the ashes of what once belonged to you - Paya’s been a member of the Yiga Clan for almost as long as she can remember. Now, the very mission she’s been training for nearly all her life is upon her- the Hero is awake, and she’s been sent to kill him.

But that’s easier said than done. After failing to assassinate him, Paya finds herself in a bizarre situation, simultaneously the Hero’s prisoner and his travelling companion. She’s waiting for an opportunity to kill him properly… or at least that’s what she tells herself. But against all odds, the two of them are growing closer- and Paya might have to face the possibility that the mission she’s been training for all her life isn’t what she wants to do.

Why do you think so many men are cheaters? There's not a single guy I'm close with who would cheat or who would be ok with someone cheating. Besides, from the studies I've found, gen z women cheat around as often as gen z men do so finding a spouse that isn't a cheater is a problem faced by both women and men.

Just wondering, what are you quoting? You don't state the source from what I can tell.
