This is indeed very fun, but when mentioning "what if" the first thing jumps into my mind is alternative history, like r/historywhatif. With all the fancies of machine learning and Microsoft wouldn't be super cool to have something that tries to figure out historical events, visualize them in a timeline or a tree, let you replace some titles and compute the yields?

Hope I'm not off topic.

Previously on HN, this popped to mind : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12922068 TLDR:A short story expressing this idea ;)

The true nightmares come once you give a picture of yourself - this was incredibly fun.

It might not have worked because it's already been posted before? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11752790 But I think reposts are allowed on HN, so I'm not sure if that's why.

No it let me, but the URL was broken with an extra /, so I had to delete it and link to the about.
