The rule could be anything, as funny or as serious as you want. The universe will progress in a similar way that it has up until this point, unless your changed rule prevented it from doing so.

Some examples might be:

  • The invention of currency is not allowed.
  • Iron is slightly less stable.
  • The Ancient Greeks are able to cultivate Silphium, which does not go extinct now.

Everything the same, but healing fantasies improve your mental health.

Sentient dinosaurs that destroy their planet in a ecological catastrophe like in downer finale of the eponymous series?

NO FUCKING AGRICULTURE

It would solve a ton of our issues .

You now have a hyper-technological hunter society like the star trek Hirogen (or the predator they are a ripoff of)

I was hoping we'd go for more of a wholistic biotech thing, like domesticating animals came with hunting, not agriculture. Agriculture just let us domesticate cattle and deer and goats.

Before then we had wolves and dogs and chickens and pigs, and I imagine 5k years of selective breeding coupled with modern degrees of research but in a different direction that by then we custom grow organisms from a caul for whatever our needs.

Remove every soul that would ever become a parasite 1%, or a Wiccan. Both rotten to the core.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What's wrong with Wiccans? I know a few, they're fine people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

A lot of them are assholes in one way or another, at about the same distribution of every other social group

Every living creature is entitled to an equal portion of useful surface area of the earth proportional to their size and space requirements.

Not like that has anything to do with us possibly living out of a car next year if rent rises 30% again for the 3rd year running.

Fuck landlords hoarding property.
