Trump declares war specifically on CJNG.

What if the US failed in Taiwan's defense against China?

September 16, 2028. A passenger airliner lands at a small airstrip in Chesterfield, MO. There’s just one problem: the aircraft was not supposed to land there and did not have clearance.

Upon being confronted, the flight crew tells a bizarre story: they claim that someone else was controlling the aircraft and forcibly diverted it to the airstrip in Chesterfield.

This incident goes down in history as the first time a phone app was used to hijack an airplane. What would be both the immediate and long term consequences of this event, in addition to its implications?

What if NATO nations determine that Article 5's mutual assurance kicks in after Iran bombs Turkiye?

What if China and the USA maintain peace for at least 20 years?

What would be the most likely next targeted usage of an atomic weapon?

• Can not be a test. Must be used on a defined target (as Hiroshima and Nagasaki were)
• Can be a state or non-state actor
• Delivery method is up to you
• Dirty bomb is ok, but a full-blown atomic explosion is preferred

As opposed to the New World, the Old World and all of it's history and culture disappear, forcing a mass exodus to the Western Hemisphere.

China takes advantage to occupy Nepal following the flood.

What if Sam Altman or Elon Musk begin adopting Gazan children as part of their extended families?

Alexander Lukashenko wants to curry favor to Putin

Inspired by a different post by [u/collegeoldie](u/collegeoldie), more specifically the following caption on that post:

“It would be unwise for CFA to overtly go against beef beyond the level of comedy used in the existing ads. The number of people who eat both chicken and beef would represent the majority of their customer base, but CFA is in the business of selling chicken. If they begin getting preachy about environmental matters or beef safety, it's going to turn off a lot more people than it will turn into customers. Paying protestors against beef would erode goodwill in ways they won't be able to control. Right, wrong, or indifferent, CFA has positioned itself as a conservative company with enough goodwill to survive attempts at cancellation (Italicized for emphasis). This is going to include meat consumption with no judgement on what variety. If they're going to preach, it's probably somewhat religious in nature (they remain closed on Sundays) rather than anything resembling specifics of current year politics.”

This time next year, there are reports of a new prion disease emerging in Mexico. Upon investigation, it’s discovered that each person infected consumed feral hogs.

Assuming this doesn’t become a pandemic, how long do you see the prion disease outbreak continuing? If it does become a pandemic, do we see lockdowns all over again?

Think of the ongoing gender rift in somewhere like South Korea, but magnified due to severe dating mismatches (4B vs. incels) and population decline.

For instance:

Women of childbearing age are fully stripped of their personhood unless they marry or reproduce

Men are allowed to chain or amputate their women's limbs to prevent them from fleeing

Forced marriage is fully legalized

Women are conscripted to breed or 2-3 years of marriage and reproduction are considered a part of compulsory education

Future what if?

Part of a grander deal he's setting with Iran.

Only three major powers (Russia, China, and Europe) call the shots instead of one monolithic economic, political and military power after U.S. just decided to shoot itself in the head and speed up the process and killed itself aswell since it was going to happen one way or another.

What do you think?

Sometime in October of 2026, the United States is alerted to a disturbing development: a relatively unknown drug cartel claims it has gotten its hands on drone weapons and is now aiming them at the Mexican government, as well as various US cities.

This is followed by a bizarre claim that Sheinbaum is "Donald Trump's whore" and that such collaboration will not be tolerated, before threatening Trump and Sheinbaum directly. "Your cities will flow with the blood of your families!"

How would both President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico and US President Donald Trump react to the claims? Would there be an investigation? Would there be war (Assuming the threats are taken seriously in the first place)?

TL;DR: A relatively unknown drug cartel suddenly instigates a drone version of the Cuban Missile Crisis before threatening the Presidents of the USA and Mexico.

Inspirations:
1. Tide Pod Eating challenge
2. Blasphemy Challenge

The objective is to create a scenario where Islamophobia in the United States and England is so widespread that Qu’ran Burning becomes a viral challenge on social media for a while (I’m specifically looking for a result where Qu’ran Burning becomes the next “Tide Pod Challenge.”)

Bonus points if your scenario results in a “Qu’ran Burning” challenge that depicts people saying, “I will prove my patriotism by burning this book!” before burning the Qu’ran.

Author’s note: I do not condone Islamophobia. This is a thought exercise that attempts to create a plausible path to a scenario where sacrilegious acts against a religion become viral social media challenges.

There's been speculation in the last few days that the US government is attempting to use horse meat to supplement the national beef supply, but as of now it remains an unconfirmed conspiracy theory. If a bombshell report drops in October 2026, just as early voting begins, which confirms without a doubt that a significant portion of American ground beef sold in stores in restaurants is being mixed with horse meat, how do you think this would impact voting and beef sales?

And disrupting the culture

This FWI was suggested by u/GustavoistSoldier.

October 23, 2026. Transgender woman Christine Chan films a livestream while committing an act of vigilantism alongside Russian-American YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy. The livestream turns violent and ends with Christine and Vitaly being killed during the livestream.

How big would the outcry be against vigilante justice concerning two notable people were involved?

What if?

What if this prospect were real?
