    one where everything is exactly the same except that the land where Belgium would be is evenly distributed among France, Germany, and the Netherlands.

    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

    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
  • Rose Thorne(She/Her)

    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.

    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

    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.

      That would mean less greed as greed let to cheaper options to fuel factories and power cars., in exchange for more profit. However greed is our human nature (sadly). So someone else would have made a point to destroy the environment if it would solely benefit them.

        Alas, greed is bred (past sence of breding) into the western societies and then ‘exported’ from Europe via the US as base for economics to all other areas of the globe. I get the feeling it was ‘enhanced’ by the middle-eastern trinity of religions, Jewism, Catholism and Muslism (correct spelling?) which places humans above anture instead of smack in the middle of it and totally depending on it.

    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

        Yeah in this universe maybe, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be possible in another universe

          Because even if you achieve happiness there will be something that will bother you. It is in our human nature to look more at the bad sides than the good sides.

          Money: a billionaire stills has problems avoiding taxes and losing all assets.

          Early-pension: people need a purpose to do something, otherwise you will get bored.

          One happy family: outside influences (boyfriend/girlfriend) can negatively influence you.

          However it’s not all bad, we just have to focus less on the negative sides and look to what we can achieve.

    It’s threaded with spiraling time threads, like symphonic Christmas lights dancing in an ethereal breeze. Touch one of these time threads, and millenias worth of physics explodes along my skin. You can hear the whispered susurrations of cosmic eddies trembling thru the universe, the songs of stars. It is bright like sherbert, cold and warm on the flesh, and every fiber of my being is rapturously tesselated.
