The one where my Mum was delayed by 30 seconds the day she died in a car crash 25+ years ago.
The universe where my comment gets upvoted on this thread
You’re there!
Hang on...is this also the universe where the lizard people are in charge?
Depends on how reliable you think my Uncle Charlie is.
He seems like a hoopy frood.
That one that deviated from ours shortly after the big bang with the planet sorta like Earth but with a later stage sun and 16 other planets in the system. Specifically the one with higher oxygen content than ours, yellow tree-like plants, and where the main intelligent species looks sorta like 7 legged dogs and sound like they're laughing when they speak.
The one where humans were smart enough not to destroy their own planet.
I don't know but I hope it's one that has an actual map of the multiverse
It’s a little depressing to say, but the one where I’m truly and completely happy. I want to see that or at least get to see how to achieve it
There is no such thing as truly and completely happy. Happiness is not a state of existence.
One where I was born a girl.
To be honest, I'd be genuinely curious if they went through their own struggles with expectations, especially ones tied to apparent gender identity. Hell, do they even identify the same way I do? What ripples throughout my entire sense of self could have been caused just by something so seemingly simple?
Would we be even remotely alike?
Probably have consequences on my psyche, but meh. Waking up each day is, too.
Ooooh, I like this idea! I would also be curious - would be awesome to check this out!
Tbh, the star trek TNG universe probably. Go see a post scarcity society, a world where humanity really made it, then go find a job on a starship for a while
Would be great to see a version of Earth where humanity wasn't snared by religion.
I would love to see a world where ww1 (and thus in follow up ww2) would not have happened. So many things in our daily lives have been influenced by the world wars.
Id like to imagine Germany would've become a superstate before it happened in our lifetime. Focusing on industrialization and cooperation with other nations around it to improve the products at the time.
The one where Ronald Reagan didn't win the presidential election
One where power and greed don't effect people nearly as strongly as they do here.
some scifi universe where they hand out anti aging perfect health pills like tic tacs. That would probably be a pretty interesting place to check out for some time. If it's an innate ability to travel and I don't have to worry about getting stuck in a universe, I'd probably want to check out some questions like "what if the Roman empire collapsed way earlier?" or "what if someone killed Hitler as a child?" or "what if religion didn't have such an appeal to people?" (though I suspect I'd be going back to the first universe with the last question).
Skip the pill, pick one where you can transfer you consciousness to robots that look perfectly human, but are stronger and faster and all that. You could skydive without a parachute and swap bots if you took damage.
The one where you can change your body and appearance whenever you feel like it, I need some flexibility in my life :)
I think it would be hilarious if everyone could do it. Like everyone would be a copy of someone.
I would visit ones where I never left different exes and see how things were going. I think that a few of them would likely be going well.
For me, the one where nudism is the common thing and there are specific areas for clothed people.
Bro 😂
Gimp suits are kinky there, too, but for different reasons.
My first stop would be the one where the world came together to tackle greenhouse gases with the same urgency we handled CFCs and the hole in the ozone layer. Not a huge difference but hopefully a big improvement.
I would also like to see what happened in the one we did not handle the CFCs and the ozone layer disappeared, just so I could feel like we aren't complete fuckups in our reality.
To a universe where a version of me that's close to who I currently am has travelled to all the universes I want to explore and made a top 10 list of universes to visit first
fuck that's so smart
I'd probably start with a table of contents universe to see what the various options are. Then I'd look for ones with interesting pathogens, like de-aging viruses, and parasites like in that one episode of Futurama (I just wouldn't be worried if someone loved me because of who the parasites made me into).
Then I'd go visit versions of universes around the present time after I had made various changes in the past to see how it impacted things. The beauty of the multiverse is that I wouldn't even have to ever do those changes in the first place, another version of me would have taken care of it, so I could just jump to the results. Then I could also check out the ones where I failed but still had an impact, they would probably be interesting.
I'd crash Stephen Hawking's time traveler party. I'd be crashing it because I'm not really a time traveler, though I suspect he wouldn't be disappointed.
I'd try to satisfy my curiosity about things with similar laws of physics before checking out more different ones because I suspect it might be difficult to find your way back. There's just so many variables that could change from universe up universe, and each one of those could be its own dimension you could travel along. It would be so easy to get lost, plus there's a good chance I wouldn't be capable of existing in an infinite number of them and would cease the moment I tried going to one of those.
I mean, technically you would be a time Traveller if you showed up at his party, since it's already happened
Any where I'm happier in life.
The one where I don’t exist anymore. Need to know a few things…
Bro let me tell you this as a stranger. You will be missed. Even if you think you had no influence over people's lives, you have. And that is not necessarily a bad thing. For one you influenced me into writing this message to you.
I hope you are healthy and look forward to the unknown future that might bring you more to enjoy.
The one where the big bang didn't happen.
The one without entropy
I'd like to check out
- a world similar to our size but that has only one country/kingdom/etc
- a world that never had wars/always lived in peace
- a world that had teleportation unlocked and where it would be as easy to use as walking
- a world that had invented an item that lets you "store" and "read" feelings (you could read other's feelings too)
- (golden compass) a world where humans/all intelligent species would have their souls as creatures that followed them in life
The one where Reagan never became president
