What if Roman Britannia somehow remained in the empire and became the last province of The Western Roman Empire during its collapse, then Rome's elite moved there and made Londonium the capital?

What if Roman Britannia somehow remained in the empire and became the last province of The Western Roman Empire during its collapse, then Rome's elite moved there and made Londonium the capital?

Let's just say The British Isles as a whole don't get attacked by anyone, and the territory remains a part of The Western Roman Empire as a largely forgotten, remote island up until the Fall of Rome. Perhaps the Romans in Rome see they are fighting a losing battle after the first Visigoth raid, and abandon the city for Londonium by boat, vowing to amass strength to later reclaim territories from the Germanic barbarians. How might this have changed things?

What if Elon Musk bought the United Kingdom as his personal property, like how King Leopold of Belgium owned The Kongo?

It's literally all his, the land, the people, and the government. That's it.

What if The U.S. government didn't stop the 2022 Railroad Strike from happening? Or what if the workers went on strike anyway?

This has been on my mind as recent history. Biden's administration refused to allow railroad workers strike due to the threat to the economy. What if things changed and the government didn't intervene and allowed the strikes during the pandemic? Alternately, what if large numbers of workers went on an unauthorized strike instead?

Why didn't allied troops in WWII just shout "Sieg--!" to force German soldiers to stop whatever they were doing to complete their catch phrase and give their best guess about Hitler's height with their hand?

It was drilled into them after all to reply to "Sieg" with "Heil." Were they really trying to complete the war with achievements still on instead of exploiting a glitch, or were they just stupid?

What if Genghis Khan went Northeast and discovered Alaska, then decided to conquerer it?

Let's just say, maybe Genghis was a bit more cautious and didn't try to take on China, Central and West Asia, or Europe, instead focusing on conquering North Asian tribes in Siberia and accidentally stubled upon North America. How might things have changed?

What if Americans truly had no limits on what kind of weapons they could legally own?

I'm talking full automatics, rocket launchers, bombs, Davy Crockett nukes, and nerve gas; all the fun stuff Americans generally aren't allowed to own just being in civilian hands. What do you think America would be like if no one ever managed to pass legislation curtailing The Second Amendment?

Is there a universal audio fix for running older games running on an SSD (PC)?

To be clear, I'm not exactly 100% certain the SSD is the issue; it's just what my AI suggested it might be. Pretty much every game I own on Steam made before the mid-2010s has this issue where the audio is distorted, skips, and pops between high and low volume. I found a mod fix for one game and ran it in compatibility mode for Windows 8, but compatability mode doesn't work for any other games alone. I also tried limiting FPS to 60 or 30, and nothing. It's really annoying and makes games unplayable. I'm trying to look for a universal fix for a Windows 11 PC, but can't find anything even with my AI's help. Any suggestions?

How can Virginia be for lovers if it's a virgin colony?

Everyone knows Maryland was a Catholic colony, Connecticut was a Puritan colony, etc. in the Thirteen Colonies. What most people fail to realize is that Virginia was made for virgins ONLY, and you could be kicked out for losing your virginity.

What's with the totally false claim that Virginia is for lovers when they just end up exiled for not protecting their virginity? Are they just stupid or something?

Has anyone tried the adjustable Merkur 34?

I only heard about it recently because it's fairly new. I kind of like my 34C over two others I own because of its short handle, but was curious about getting into the adjustable scene. To anyone who has one, would you reccomend it over other adjustables like Merkur Progress if a shorter handle length is my preference, or are there any better ones out there?
