1) Long term, WW2 as we know it doesn't happen. War breaks out between Britain/other European powers and the Soviet Union. Likely IMO given that was the way things were headed in Europe even for a while after Adolf assumed power.

 

Also the USSR gets these mad turrets that shoot lightning at dudes if they come too close.

1) Adolf Hitler is assassinated by TT (time traveler) in 1932, just prior to the re-election of Germany's president Paul von Hindenburg.

2) TT ensures a victory for Eumenes "the Greek" against Antigonus "the one-eyed" in 316 BC.

3) TT convinces Vasili Arkhipov to agree to launch a nuclear torpedo at the US Navy from the submarine B-59 on October 27th, 1962.

2) Merely delaying the inevitable collapse of Alexander's empire.

 

3) World War 3. Potentially nuclear holocaust.

 

Tired lazy answers, sorry.

If our timeline's world war two never happened, and then another world war broke out in 1962, would it make that war world war two and not three?

I know I've already infected this thread with hypotheticals regarding time travel, but this is aimed more towards any history buffs/walking encyclopedias and require a bit more thinking.

 

Say time travel to the past is possible. What would be the short term (immediately after - 1 year later) and long term (1 year later - present day) effects of the following scenarios? For the sake of avoiding further questions and distractions from the answers to these questions, ignore the implausibility of the time traveler being able to carry out these actions.

 

-Adolf Hitler is assassinated by TT (time traveler) in 1932, just prior to the re-election of Germany's president Paul von Hindenburg.

 

-TT ensures a victory for Eumenes "the Greek" against Antigonus "the one-eyed" in 316 BC.

 

-TT convinces Vasili Arkhipov to agree to launch a nuclear torpedo at the US Navy from the submarine B-59 on October 27th, 1962.

Everything that Coin said is 100% on but even though this is hypothetical if any of those things had happened the world would not be the same you and i would possibly not be here.

 

Just like Stewie says if you mess with one thing in the past it will alter the future

 

A better question would be where can you find such a TT that can speak Russian, German and either Aeolic Greek or what manner of Thraco-Illyrian language might have been at the time spoken in Macedon. Furthermore, they have to be a brilliant assassin, strategist and negotiator(?). Even for a hypothetical situation this is a bit too irrational for my tastes.

It's be World War II as the 1939 War wouldn't have broken out.

 

I don't know what's going on with Buster lately, He loves going for rides and i usually take him with me when i drop my girls off at school and pick them up but lately whenever he's in the car he cries the whole time like a soft whimper and i don't know what's causing it.

 

Anybody have any ideas or how i could clam him so he doesn't act like this?

Why are there almost no people who carry cash? It's like I'm the only one who uses cash to buy things.

Why do the Right/conservatives love Benjamin Netanyahu and the dude is no different than Obama?

I think it's down to his hawkish stance on Iran and the fact he is not Obama. The level of hatred from republicans directed towards Obama just for being Obama is astounding.

Something I can agree with. In all honesty Obama isn't the greatest or the worst but the way the right hate him is crazy. And also what so bad about Iran having Nukes?

 

i guess cause their national anthem is "death to america, death to israel" or something like that

i carry cash mostly for emergencies

[AlienTwo]

Why are there almost no people who carry cash? It's like I'm the only one who uses cash to buy things.

Because I get paid in a check wired directly to my bank and have a debit card. I would need to go to a bank to make a withdraw, with my debit card, in order to have cash. That's a lot of work for something that isn't even convenient anymore. Hell, even at local festivals all the hot-dog stands and fried oreo joints take cards.

Yes, if my weed man didn't take cards (only a $1.50 fee!) I would need cash.

So, today I've heard there are actually people who take a piss in the bathroom sink. I'd like to ask what in the name of everything there exists is wrong with people? Why would you do that?

You mean in the hole or on the tap?

 

I had to do that a few years ago (in the hole, obviously), all the toilets where busy and I couldn't hold it. It was a college party so it was all good, no problemo.

i use to live with drunks, they wouldn't piss in the bathroom sink, but they would piss in the sink in the laundry room. they would how ever puke in the bathroom sink

I imagine it is for people who feel emasculated for some reason sitting down to pee, but somehow the distance between them and the toilet bowl is so great they have sh*t aim(?). Better to urinate in the sink than on the floor by the toilet I suppose. And you can clean a sink with less effort than a toilet...probably.

I did this once at a hotel while staying in Washington, D.C. My mom was in the shower, and I desperately had to pee. I ended up doing my business in the kitchen sink.

I used to do that through laziness or at night if I didnt want to flush and wake up housemate. I know going to the toilet isnt exactly strenuous but its much easier just to flop it in the sink than aim, especially if youre half asleep. The pipes from the sink join into the toilet pipes just below the bathroom floor anyway. I stopped doing it because once I wearing one of those fabric belt with the teeth, like this

and the vanity was at the same height as my balls. I moved forward just a little bit too much and the belt hit the vanity and the clasp snapped shut on my nut sack

It's not something I'd do but I don't see what the big issue is. If it was the kitchen sink... yeah, get that sh*t outta here, but bathroom?

 

Next you'll be complaining about people having a slash while in the shower.

What is a huck? Is that an American term for throwing something?

jk

But seriously does that just mean 'have'?

[*MURDOC*]

I'd huck a rock at someones head, so yeah, the first one actually.

 

I've not heard someone use the term "huck a piss" personally, but there are so many different weird things people say all over this country lol.

 

If it's something to be thrown with accuracy, then "hucking" it would be a careless, inaccurate toss.

Just use the damn phone like a normal person. Probably 90% of them couldnt tell time on an analogue watch anyway...

I've just learned the kangaroos also use the phrase 'Slash' to represent taking a pish too.

"I hucked the frisbee and it landed in the lake."

Online I found it meaning, throw and catch in terms of Frisbee, to drop something, to loiter somewhere, nagging, exclamatory outbursts, ugliness and yet also attractiveness, loaning money, pooling money, selling something for money, vomiting or jumping in certain sports.

 

Good job, English, ya prick.

Hahaha, that's so ridiculous.
