Those of you from an alternate Earth, what similarities or differences have you noticed between this world and yours? Specifically, I'm looking to pinpoint where a great deal of our common ground lies, and if there's a trend where most timelines appear to diverge. Discussion encouraged.


As well, if there are any research institutions with room for a theoretical physicist and biologist interested in solving the mysteries of this world, please do get in touch.

Ah, well, let me see. Back home vampires are out of the coffin and in mainstream society now....there's witches and shape-shifters too, but they like to keep secret. The Cold War ended when I was a kid, aaaaaannnnd........I think that's it?

[Excuse, texting is great.

Also that world sounds terrifying. Why is he doing this again]

When did vampires become mainstream?

[wordaday]

[No, it's terrible and slow and autocorrect hates her.]

A couple years back? The Japanese developed real synthetic blood and I guess they figured with a reliable food source, there wasn't a need to be in the shadows anymore. They've been mainstreaming for a while, but it's hard going in some places.

[Autocorrect hates everyone. That's why you turn it off and double check spelling!1!!1]

What year is it in your world?

[Maybe he should have added that question to the post; he's asking it a lot]

[wordaday]

[...wait you can do that?]

January of 2005. We just had New Year's.

[on a note 5 at least]

So around 2000, then. So far, it seems the early 2000s are rather chaotic for everyone.

I'd say that's fair, for me at least. Everything's been weird since Bush was elected. [Not that it's his fault, but.] Oh, and Disney World is in Orlando at home, forgot that. That's a weird difference.

[mathemagier]

Yes, I think that's normal, but I'm not American, so I'm not sure. At least one other person has said as much however.

At any rate, the vampires and such have simply been in hiding until recently then?

[driftsintobuffetline]

But do they sparkle? The vampires, I mean.

[wordaday]

[Well that's a really specific question.]

I've seen a few that like to go overboard on body glitter?
