LexxiXhan Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Rules: Someone posts a 'What if..?' question. Anyone who wishes to attempt a convincing or amusing answer gets to post the next 'What if..?' question at the end of their answer. Ideally, just one respondent gets to push the thread onwards for each question. That may or may not happen, and derail conversations involving alternative responses may ensue and that may or may not be better than following rules. I don't actually care. I'm just doing this for attention xx I'll start us off: What would happen if everyone stopped pretending to be normal at the same time? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
