What if Bering Strait didn't exist?

Imagine if Asia and America were more connected to each other, more land for both and just separated by a river that you can cross

Humanity wouldn't depend on Ice Age to cross. Boats would still be needed, but it would be way easier than Bering Strait

How would this affect climate and societies?

So, I've been a bit bored and decided to make an alternative reality just for fun, was kind of interested in Native American culture and began to think "What if they didn't get colonized"? And then gone further, and began mixing a lot of things together, it wasn't a serious work, wanted to create like a novel/"fantasy" world, where I insere multiple characters and stories in this universe

Then I saw other things that I decided that it might be fun to put with, Ming Dinasty getting there (know this is controversial for some people but I found myself exploring this idea, just Americas, ignore Menzies book) and having a commerce path through there (not colonization, commerce. Interess in drought-tolerant crops, lots of silver, etc)

and that together I was thinking in or delay Ottoman rise or make Columbus die in the return. Dalaying Europe getting there

I know that already reading this, it sounds really unlikely that it would happen, and I decided to see some critics and saw some channels talking about it, I decided to try to fix, trying to make it work 'realisticly', specially when I heared things like "It sounds interesting until you think about it for 2 minutes". Decided to try to make it work 'realisticly' but I just found headache, really my head began to hurt with how much things I was searching on. Trying to get things but as the same time it felt overwhenlimg

I still wanted to make those novels/fantasy stories that I was thinking in write about, but trying to 'make it work' this it felt a bit frustrating, for a minute thought in abandon the project

Still wanted to try to make this. So this is my question, does an alternative reality needs to be realistic?

Na entrevista de Lula no Inteligência LTDA, foi perguntado a ele se até 2030 tinha algum sucessor, Lula respondeu falando que não tem a "quantidade de craques que queria"

I found it in a bookstore and was thinking on buying it

I saw this discussion happening around a part of the Brazilian socialist group

In short, Humberto Matos, communist who joined PCdoB (a party that abandoned the revolution and became social-democrat) to make his bet on elections, in his pre-campaign he is using AI generated images to spread his campaign cards. When he was critisized by other left-wing people he clarified saying that

"We don't have enough money right now and we need to spread the campaign, until that, we will still use AI. When we have the resources it will be human made"

He was critisized by other communists (Jones Manoel, for an example, is not using, though his campaign is one of the most popular donated ones around all the campaigns of the conutry, just behind to one far-right dude. The guy got famous. Both Humberto and Jones are trying to ocupy space in the congress)

Humberto using AI and clarifying about it

One of the videos that got my interess on this topic was this one "Communists should NOT use AI" (it's in portuguese)

I know that this is montly english language sub but I'm curious how people from other countries see about it

First World: The global superpowers, USA (imperialist) and USSR (social-imperialist)

Second World: Other capitalist and socialist developed/developing countries (and some still can exercise imperialist power, like France), but they are still subordinate to the Western or Eastern Bloc

Third World: Underdeveloped/agrarian nations and non-aligned countries, such as Latin America, Africa and Asia (except for Japan), as well Yugoslavia and Albania in Europe for being non-aligned

Is this map well made? Want to see what you think too

Pelo que entendi, o Primeiro Mundo seriam as superpotências, EUA (imperialista) e URSS (social-imperialista)

O Segundo Mundo outras nações capitalistas e socialistas desenvolvidas (e algumas podiam até exercer poder imperialista), porém ainda estão subordinadas ao Bloco Ocidental ou Oriental

Enquanto o Terceiro Mundo seriam os países subdesenvolvidos/agrários e países não alinhados a nenhuma superpotência, como América Latina, África e Ásia (tirando o Japão), além de Iugoslávia e Albânia na Europa por não estarem alinhados com nenhuma das superpotências

Queria saber de vcs tbm se o mapa está bom ou se deveria mudar algo
