What If Series
There’s a line between possible and impossible, a wall we can’t break through or tear down. But what if we could climb to the top and take a look at the other side? What if the line between fiction and reality was just a little blurrier, and our world a little stranger? Join Jeramy, Jack, and Ryan as they look at twists on our reality and ignore the difference between what can and cannot be to ask, “What If…?”.

Over 2000 years ago the Greek philosopher Plato first spoke of the lost city of Atlantis, and since people have been searching to find its ruins. The legend of the lost city even bled its way into fiction, showing us time and time again across television and movies an under sea world bustling with all kinds of life.

What If Humans Didn't Have Size Restriction?
If you look at statistics, you’ll see that human beings are gradually getting taller. Over the last 150 years the average height of people in industrialized nations has grown by about 4 inches. Though these changes are significant, they are barely noticed in the span of a lifetime. But what if our evolution didn’t have to take so long? And what if it could be controlled?

Who hasn’t wished in their life for the ability to fly, be invisible, read minds, or have super strength? If you’ve never desired any of these powers, no doubt theres another power you have. Movies and comic books have made these type of abilities attractive for many years. How exciting the world would be if we could use our abilities to fight crime and make life great for ourselves, right?

What If Bigfoot Had Been Found?
According to Wikipedia, “Bigfoot or Sasquatch are said to be hairy, upright-walking, ape-like creatures that dwell in the wilderness and leave footprints.” For over 60 years, Bigfoot has continued to scare and mystify people of all ages. There are countless believers hunting and hoping to encounter the missing link in our evolution, as well as television shows dedicated to finding proof of the creatures existence. But with no real proof coming from their research, it’s hard to believe a creature like this would be able to completely evade detection for all this time. But, let’s say one had been found. How would it change the world? Would we continue to seek them out? Would we put them in zoos? With their amazing ability to remain unseen, would we ever come across another?

If you didn’t take a picture of it and upload that picture to facebook, twitter, instagram, and everything else, did it even really happen? Not in today’s world. We’re so driven by visual media that it’s consumed our thoughts in ways we can’t even count. Even that is probably an understatement. That’s why it’s so hard to imagine a world without these things; no photos, no screens, nothing. Our most important sense, no longer assailed by advertisement or pictures of your old high-school buddy’s new dog. So what’s left of the world when you take out the camera? People living for the moment? People constantly forgetting what the earth looks like? The possibilities are as weird as they are varied.

What If People Could Breathe Under Water?

What If People Could Breathe Under Water?
The ocean; not just the majority of our planet’s surface, but the evolutionary cradle of all life. There’s something alluring about it, even with all its dangers. Everyone remembers days spend spent poolside in the summer, or their first trip to the beach. Some flat-out live for the sea, spending more time on a ship than on the shore. What is it that makes us feel so drawn to the water? Maybe it’s millennia of genetic memory, and some part of our DNA longs to return. Maybe it’s the depth, the vastness, or the mystery. Either way, it’s taken a lot of technology to get us as familiar with the ocean’s secrets as we are. Wouldn’t it be something if we didn’t need any special equipment to get there? If we could plumb the depths of the sea with our bodies alone? Plenty of creatures do it, even mammals, so why not us? We just didn’t develop that way, I suppose. We could’ve though, and what a strange and fascinating world that would make. Picture Underwater strip-malls, mining in the trenches, submerged homes and farms and towering buildings. Have a listen as we explore this idea, and ponder at a wetter, waterier human race. Can you imagine a world where humans can breathe underwater? WhatIfPod.com @WhatIfSeries Insta @WhatIfPDCST

We’ve been fascinated with monsters since cavemen first painted on walls. It makes sense if you think about our start; running from the things that want to eat us while we chase the things small enough to eat. We were born into a world of monsters, and it left an impression that lingers today. Our advancements have made us safe and secure, keeping the predatory world at bay, but what if nature rose up to match us? This episode we discuss a world where titanic, near-unstoppable monsters roam free. How could a society learn to adapt to their presence? How could civilization grow under their shadow? No doubt it would present problems we can hardly imagine, and equally fantastic solutions. Could we master them one day? Breed them? Utilize them? Or would we just wipe them out? All that, assuming they didn’t do the same to us first. Listen and hear our thoughts on a world where mankind is no longer king!

What If People Could Fly?
When our primordial ancestors hauled themselves up from the depths and clamored onto dry land, they probably looked up at the sky and sighed. We’re all about what we can’t have, and flying, though achievable through expensive and extreme measures, is still something we can’t manage on our own. Sure, you can skydive, or wing suit yourself through a canyon, or even take a little one-man helicopter to the grocery store, but it’s not quite the same as spreading your wings and soaring under your own power. How do you structure a world of unchecked flight? Who controls the traffic? Who has the right of way? It presents a lot of problems, but they all seem so small compared to the unbridled joy of taking wing. Don’t you wish you could? Hell, almost everyone does.

Its unlikely you’ll see a well groomed person in a business suit and assume they’re homeless, or a person in ripped and tattered clothing and assume they are the CEO of a huge corporation. Our likes, statements, occupations, and attitudes and broadcasted to the world via the clothing we decide to wear on a daily basis. And lets not forget about the boost of confidence it gives. Now, imagine a world where clothing is stripped away…no pun intended…and being nude all the time is a regular occurrence. How do we as people broadcast who we are into the world?

What If Fast Food Never Existed?
At what point did fast food stop being fast, and just start being food? The service is still quick (on good days) and the experience (hopefully) convenient, but it’s not the last resort or infrequent treat that it used to be. Citing exactly zero sources, because we’re not exactly a scholarly program, I still feel confident saying fast-food consumption is on the rise. Who’s to blame? You could pin it on aggressive marketing or overworked parents. You could blame long hours, poor choices, and sedentary lifestyles. Is it any one of these things or an amalgam of them all? In this episode we ponder a world where fast-food isn’t even an option. Now here’s the real question: does that sentence fill you with dread, relief, or indifference? How would the world look without it, and how would you adapt? Is fast-food an integral part of your weekly diet, or is it just a quick’n’easy solution after working a double? It seems simple on the surface, but the deeper you go with this one, the stranger things seem to become. So join us, why don’t you, as we ask: What if fast food didn’t exist?

What If We Could Control The Weather?
It’s no wonder the ancient world saw signs in the weather. A brutal storm or enduring drought could only be a sign that the gods are upset, right? If the harvest is great, and the weather fair, well, we must be doing something right! It wasn’t a foolproof system, though. No matter how many festivals you hold or lambs you sacrifice, you can’t make it rain (or make it stop). Most of human civilization learned to work around this, and it’s kept us strong, clever, and prepared for sudden disaster, but not always happy. Who hasn’t wanted to change the weather? Everyone’s seen a birthday or wedding ruined by a storm, or had their vacation grounded by sudden snow. If we had the means, we’d change the weather to suit not just our needs, but our moods. Would that be a good thing, though? Could we balance the good of the environment with our own self-interest?

We’re afraid of war, instability, poverty, but these fears are new and manageable, not like fear of stalking predators or imminent starvation.In the modern world, fear is more of an inconvenience than a motivator.

What If Pangea Still Existed?
It was such a big deal when we started crossing the oceans that we called it the ‘age of sail’. I think that says a lot about how much the water keeps humanity separated. It’s different now, sure, with the rise of internet and long-distance communication making vast gulfs manageable. Still, whole cultures can spring up a dozen miles from one another, and be totally unlike each other. It’s no wonder the continents of the world, separated as they are by the sea, are so different. All that elbow-room makes for some varied populations. It would have been much different if we were all in the same place, don’t you think? Would you rather your neighbor lived down the street, or in the room next to yours? Could you cope with such proximity? Mankind would’ve had to if it weren’t for the drifting of the continents. If there was no drift, we’d be living in a world almost unrecognizable. The mind boggles trying to imagine what it might look like. Why not listen now and hear what we think?

What If We Could Raise The Dead?
The dead stay dead. It’s something that defines our whole world. We fear death, we prepare for it, we recover from it, we stave it off when we can. Almost everything that makes us human comes back to death, and how much we try to avoid it or inflict it upon those we feel we must. Everyone has their own opinion, too, we’re not all of the same mind about it. Depending on where you come from and what you were taught, you could have beliefs about life and death that are totally incongruous with your neighbor’s. Turn that all on its head; now the dead can come back whenever we want them to. Did that make your stomach lurch? Is it too huge a thing to even ponder? Yeah, we understand. All the same, we chase the rabbit as far as we can in this episode, imagining a world where death is just an inconvenience. It would be a stranger world than our own by orders of magnitude, and perhaps a much scarier one.

What If The Fountain of Youth Had Been Discovered?
Why did they call it the ‘new’ world when explorers landed in the Americas? Was it just because it was unlike their home? Or was it the possibilities it presented; what treasures, dangers, and miracles where hidden within the unexplored country? I think it was a little of both. Not only was it something strange and unknown, it was something potentially magical. It was a place where all the old legends might just be true, where anything could be real. It was the perfect place to find mankind’s most sought-after treasure: immortality. If there was a fountain of youth, a place where you could stop or even reverse the aging process, what would've it done to the world?
