How about a earth where man evolved before the dinosaures and they are not a dumb as we think.

That's an interesting one!


What about insects reaching intelligence before mankind did. Except they are a gesault form of intelligence.

Earth and Humanity are the creations of an ancient alien race that created Humanity in its own image....as a decoy to divert their equally ancient enemies from their trail....Seems our creators were the equivalent of genocidal Nazis, who are fleeing their vengeful enemies...and by creating Earth, they hope to fool their pursuers into thinking their quarry crashed, degenerated into primitives, and are now harmless/helpless...And if Humanity is destroyed, that will buy more time for the creators to get farther away from justice....

Native americans start exploring the world before the Europeans. Sending ships and armys to Europe before the white man can invent guns with which to fight them.

Those are both great ones!


How about mankind evolved from apes found in the Americas and not from apes from africa.

KIng Kong is made an honorary resident of New York City...later becomes Mayor Kong....
A similar attempt to elect Godzilla mayor of Tokyo fails miserably, and the drunken disappointed office-seeker goes on a rampage, squashing the winner's campaign headquarters in the process...JSDF tries to explain that elections are NOT won by attrition, but by consensus...

LOL That's a good one Taalismn!

What about a world where the splugorth are a good race and respected by most races in the mulrtiverse. Of course in this same universe the Horune are also a good race, the Janus are warriors for the good of all. And the evil atlanteans are one of the most evil races in that universe!

i think someone already posted that not 100% sure.

Along that same line of thought. What if the universe started with what would be the end and go towards the big bang. So that everyone starts off coming back from the dead and works their way back towards their birth.

dude ... giving birth is bad enough ... i sure as heck DON'T wanna relive it in reverse ...

you try to pass a 7 pound bowling ball out of your nether regions .. that would be about the same, except mine was a 10 pound version.

not exactly something i'ld be looking forward too, sorry

Sorry Shiiv-a! Just proposing an alternate universe.

Ah, just like the Orkans(Robin Williams' old alien race)...THey're born old men, and grow 'younger' as they age...

The elixir of youth is discovered to be....Liver, onions, and broccoli stalks....

The broccoli stems I could eat! Liver and onions..............not sure if I could ever touch that! Ewwww

Olympus, home of the Greek Gods, is discovered within the caldera of Mons Olympus on Mars...debate rages on Earth whether thy are as they claim to be, or are aliens in disguise....Especially when their emissary to Earth identifies himself as 'Prometheus'....

Aliens appear with an offer...They'll land (thousands) troops on Earth to take over peacekeeping operations in affected areas like Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq, the Korean peninsula..and they'll be utterly impartial because theey aren't politically favoring anybody...just maintaining law and order, seeing that basic services get delivered, people fed, and hostilities quashed...However, they insist on being able to defend themselves....that means live, lethal fire on anybody dumb enough to attack them....
How's the world going to react to what may or may not be an invasion by aliens who already have several hundred transports and several armies overhead and ready to deploy?

Do those aliens need some special technical help up in their ships. AKA V

Nope...aside from a few interpreters groundside, they really don't want folks stumbling around their ships, they aren't living off the land(FTL transport means their supply lines are relatively short, time-wise), nude humans don't do a thing for them(they're cyborg hermaphrodites or multi-gendered insectoids)and their court system is rather draconian, if utterly impartial.

Sounds interesting Taalismn!


How about a universe where earth is the first race to reach self awareness and thereby becomes the elder race for that universe.

How about an Earth where we don't have caucasians, negroids, occidentals, and the like, but instead Completely Hairless, Hirsute, Body-Bald, and various grades of hairyness/hairlessness in-between?

How about a world were the civil rights movement never happened and women never received the right to vote or go to work.

Very nice guys! Those are pretty cool ideals!

The Earth is donut-shaped, with a naked glowing core floating in the center providing a counterpoint to normal day/night rotation illumination...

And in that donut shaped earth there is a great being who eats worlds. And he has this herald who travels on a skateboard who comes and condemns those donut shaped worlds. Beware it is the Silver Bart the herald for the terrifying Homer, eater of donut shaped worlds!

...okay...I admitt...I didnae see that coming...



D'oh!

Human history is a cycle of rises and falls from states of near-mythic technological mastery, with only a scant few clues of the previous cycle...For our modern age of networks and ID theft, it is the primitive peoples' taboos against letting your enemies know your TRUE NAME.....

A world where only Females can get super powers. Men are stuck to the non super powers roles.

A world where most of everyone has super powers and the important professions like bicycle repairmen don't.

That world sounds like the British comedy "Whoops Apcaylpse.

Swiss bank agents reveal that in a massive scandal of near-biblical proportions, power-mad banker heads have swindled all the money entrusted to them, and gambled it all away, leaving only a hollow financial construct of falsified paper and eelctronic records....As economies collapse, the search is on for who really has the world's trillions now?

And the world trillionare turns out to be the person who was at one time the poorest human in the poorest country!

Sleep Day have happed,for 24 houres every human on earth was asleep and dearming.

After the 24 houres,25% of the earth population are now in comas,in the areas where sleeps are merged with the Dearmstream,with all it,s beings.

How will the people react to the changed in reality ...

The Solar System is altered by the arrival one day of 3d6 alternate Earths. all in stable orbits about the sun....How will we react? How will will we survive?

How about our solar system is found to have a black hole for a companion. But that black hole is actually connected to an alternate universe. With an earth with Advanced technology is located within our grasp.

The Earth is maintained as a cultural and genetic preserve by a cosmic culture that has becoem decadent and stagnant...we will not be allowed to spread into space or advance beyond a certain point not because the outsiders fear us or hate us, but because attaining a high level of advancement will homogenize us, kill our spirit, and destroy our drive....only by maintaining the 'fishbowl' and keeping humanity at each others' throats, striving and driving, do these enlightened beings remind themselves of what they've achieved and what they dare not lose...Our primitiveness, differences, and raw enotions are like a drug to them...

That is a particularly nasty alternate universe.

And what happens in that world if a person is born that can shatter that same fishbowl.

Because of humans inventiveness when it comes to finding new and more efficent ways of killing we are looked upon as master warriors through the rest of the galaxys eyes. As such the rest of the galaxy has made it a law that no race can contact humans unless they have the express permission of the galactic counsil.

And then come the enemy that even those Advanced races fear and so they uinleash the dogs of war! Humans!

Once a month, by the light of the full moon, all people on Earth astrally project and wake up in some other(random) person's body, then by the next full moon, snap back to their original bodies...effectively spending six months out of a year as themselves, and the rest of the year as six other people....

That is a very detailed Alternate world! Thank you for sharing it! It is very cool! You see I'm a history buff, and I enjoyed reading it! Bravo!!

After humans die we awaken to find that the earth we know is all part of an elaborate program created by aliens. Their human slaves are allowed to run the program at night while we sleep so that we can have a false sense of freedom and we wont revolt becasue while our days are spent in hard labor to our alien masters our nights are ours to spend in a computer world where we can do as we please. Only something is starting to go wrong and humans are starting to develop a sense of justice and we want ture freedom. A small group of slaves have killed their master and went into hideing to start a resistence movement.

That sounds very Matrix like! All except for the Alien masters. It's a cool alternate universe and very scary one.

men have gone into hideing because women have started to eat the men after mateing with them. Worse yet women have figured out how to increase their phermones to the point where men are helpless to resist.

Now that would be the world of the Black Widows! Sounds like that world needs a movie made of it.

Those are the best kind...shows you put a lot of thought into your alternity...

Flower-Power culture and Cold War military research in the Psychedelic 60's results in Americans inadvertantly stumbling across a drug cocktail that induces psionic abilities....The government sets up isolated 'psyker communes' where drug-induced abilities are to be used to spy on other nations and remotely affect changes...but the plan backfires, and North America is bathed in a blanket empathic projection that brings civilization to a halt, spontaneous 'free love' breaks out, and society re-arranges into a 'utopia' of sorts...However, attempts by other world powers to take advantage of the situation end in failure owing to a a psychic 'wall' that renders weapons inoperable or paralysizes belligerents in their tracks...
Of course, without an America to get involved in world affairs, the Soviet Union runs unopposed, and other world events spiral out of control....
However, there are signs that the 'American Tune Out' is spreading....similar communes have been discovered in South America and Africa, started there by 'emissaries'.....

A world where a new game show craze is sweeping the world. The game show takes ordinary people and gives them thirty days to kill one person a day and not get caught by interpole. If they can make it the whole thirty days with out getting caught and kill all thirty random people then they get to take home tax free 300 million dollars and no charges filed.

Those are some more great alternate universes! Thank you for sharing.

MOvie" '10th Victim'...'tag' meets 'assassin'

However, I suspect that gangs are already working something like this.....
