If Only...

[npixelz]

Hey! I just said I'm not done yet! So don't be surprised! I mean, it might be surprising that I made another one right after the last one, but hey, when ideas are coming, I gotta share them!

Ok! Let's go!

This is another scenario based game, but this time, you say If Only... And then say something you wish would happen! The next persons job is to then be the realist! They must point out the biggest flaw in the previous persons If Only! Then they must say their own If Only!

I'll start us off!

If only we could fly.

[Polaris]

Well I mean, we already can fly technically, like via planes and stuff. But also, if we as humans were to fly by ourselves we'd need gigantic wings to accommodate for our large size and weight (especially due to our heavy bones!), which would be a big problem because our wings would be so heavy.

If only I could eat anything I want and not get fat

[Lemon Cheesecake]

you can eat anything you want of low carb low sugar foods and not get fat but still feel full and create something delicious.

If only I could change back time.

[npixelz]

Alright, but think of this; if you could turn back time, how far could you go? And would you be able to bring time back to the present? Or would you have to wait out the time until it gets back to the present? Also, how much would you even be able to change? And wouldn't it get to a point where you might abuse that power? Not to mention the fact that turning back time and changing things might cause a paradox.

If only I could control the elements.

[Polaris]

That would be really cool because then you'd be a real-life avatar, but like in the animated show people might abuse you and your power. Will you be tasked with saving the entire world? Maybe, but maybe more in the sense of constantly being on patrol and stopping natural disasters. Or perhaps becoming an earth-flattening (*coughErenZekeWhatAreYouPlanningcough*) geo weapon used to threaten the world? Many possibilities, many of them not so good ah.

If only I could do things perfect the first time.

but then there would be no real challenge for you to get it right (and sometimes "mistakes" lead to new discoveries.)

If only sweets didn't go to fat.

[npixelz]

Well that's all good. But then you'd eat them too much and not gain the protein required from other foods. Also, some fat is good, necessary, even. So if sweets wouldn't give you fat, you'd need something else that would. Also, if sweets didn't go to fat, there are still countless other things that still would.

If only I had a million dollars.

[Polaris]

Well, okay, but just keep in mind that having a million dollars 10 or 20 years ago isn't the same as having a million dollars today. With the rising cost of living in many places, increasing inflation, taxes and hidden fees, and all that fun stuff you might have a gross total of a million dollars but end up with a net total of only $500,000 in the end. Still a lot of money, don't get me wrong, but there are so many bills to pay, mouths to feed, debts, mortgage, etc etc

If only I could look my age (because I look like a minor when I'm not )

[npixelz]

Ok, but then when you get older, you'll be wishing you could look younger. So really it's probably best to look younger now, so you'll look younger then.

If Only I could read minds.
