I am including the soc.history.what-if usergroup in this discussion
because I find overall they have excellent input. Also soc.history
and
soc.misc may want to join in.

On Twitter and Facebook, there are What-If's comments for everyday
life. One of my favorites is WhatWouldYouDoIf.
Is there a way we could have something like this in the "society"
usergroups?

An example would be someone suggesting, "What would you do if you were
either
Jon or Kate from "Jon and Kate Plus Eight". Or another possibility:
"What would you do
if a stranger handed you a check for one thousand dollars?"

Any ideas?

Here are some other "What Would You Do?" fun questions:

What would you do if the world ran at night and slept during the day?

What would you do if you could be at warped tour?

What would you do if you could never walk again?

What would you do if a giant carnivorous panda was trying to eat you
and you could not run?

What would you do if you could change one moment in time?

What would you do if everyone was a redhead?

What would you do if life was like a silent movie?

What would you do if it was always 101 degrees outside?

What would you do if you were stuck in a room with the person you
hated most for 3 hours?

What would you do if you melted into a puddle?

What would you do if you were made out of fog?

Have Fun with These,

I would throw honey-covered bamboo shoots at you and say "yummy" while
pointing in your direction

Daniel,

I think you are a retired psychoanalyst trying to do a number on
USENET
loons. Obviously the "carniverous panda" stands for China.

What would YOU do if you were Obama trying to preserve your political
base
and at the same time fend off the generals wanting to spend another
borrowed
trillion bucks in Afghanistan as well as finesse GOP warlords who want
us to be
entangled with Iran for another 100 years ? We don't need Iran and
now is
the perfect time to cut loose from that country. Why in God's name
did we
ever get involved with that country... I think the root of all this is
the American
oil companies who wanted to drill in Persia in the vacuum left by the
British.

What wouuld you do if Iran was trying to re-establish the Ancient
Persian
Empire in the present-day Middle East and Central Asia?

I have alway loved the little Panda bears. Too bad they are only bred
in China. They are so cute.

What would you do if Michael Vick of the Philadelphia Eagles became an
animal rights person?

Here are some more fun "What would you do if"
questions:

What would you do if comercials lasted for 5 minutes each?

What would you do if resurrection was possible?

What would you do if you woke up and were a movie star?

What would you do if you could not age?

What would you do if there was no 3am?

What would you do if doctors didnt exist?

What would you do if everyone was a brunette?

What would you do if the "alt."newsgroups did not go down the tubes?

What would you do if there really was a Superman, Lois Lane, and Jimmy
Olson?

I like the question about the Starship Enterprise.
The speed of light is the fastest speed in the universe.
But the edge of the universe expands at 5 to 55 times the
speed of light. There is no light at that event horizon.
Light can never catch up to it.

David H (of course this is all theoretical and it may be repudiated
by discoveries in quantum mechanics.)

What would you do if every topic on a newsgroup was discussed with
intelligence and deference to the posters' beliefs?
