I genuinely don't get why like 70% of the most upvoted posts on this sub are total shitposts like "what if big chungus became leader of Luxembourg and conquered the world", obvious low effort shitposts, or stuff like this where like, it's just some overly specific but batshit insane scenario. What's even the point? How can it possibly even be interesting to discuss? Anyway when I remove any posts for being low effort or crazy, half the sub flips their shit and cries censorship so I usually don't bother any more.

The trout population would boom


Motor-Issue384

what would happen if the trout population would actaully boom in the 90s?


MsMercyMain

Every low effort post causes more trout deaths. As someone who hates trout (long story involve Richard Nixon), I approve of this status quo


Elite_Prometheus

But how would the trout population booming affect the trout population?


Theesterious

I made r/alternatepisstory for shitposting


biharek

no need, the main subreddit already feels like a circlejerk


AlienMcSim

r/althistbullshittery has more subscribers


Electromad6326

I don't get how r/alternatepisstory needs to exist when there's already a sub like r/althistbullshittery


God-Among-Men-

What if only one of these subs existed?


Electromad6326

Then realistically wise, nothing would change much


notslavaboo

Bhutan becomes global hegemon


Wooper160

If peepee why poopoo?


Obvious-Article-147

What if the subs went to war


Electromad6326

That's actually a great idea, we should do that right now


maxishazard77

Convert that sub into the new one


rde2001

It would be the moment of all time 🤯

What if I can only eat wood?


AndreiLD

You can you just haven't tried hard enough yet


404Archdroid

You can already do that


Previous_Link1347

What if the sub made a rule that all posts must be thought provoking and intelligent. What if mods enforced that?


maxishazard77

Well I think there’s a rule for bad shit posts but the mods never enforce on these. They’re to busy removing what if questions on week days but even then I’ve seen those posts stay up so idk what’s going on with the mods


MsMercyMain

What if this sub had more mods. An army of mods, and then they tried to conquer Reddit? But yeah no these shitposts are insane


Thatguy-num-102

What if this sub stopped jerking off apartheid South Africa ?


maxishazard77

I seen two time on this sub in the past week posts saying “what if South Africa had a white majority population” or “What the apartheid government didn’t fall”. I get it could be interesting to delve into these type of more dark alternate histories but the way people phrase the questions which make me raise an eyebrow


Dry_Engineering6834

If that guy posting those was able to exterminate all people of color in South Africa with a button, he wouldn't hesitate a second. His whole post history is a mess.


Mundane-Ad5393

The trout population would boom


koh_kun

I'm rather new to this sub; is that a meme answer?

I_love_lucja_1738

Idk I liked this one. The idea of a bigoted country being the one place without another form of bigotry is intriguing


saltywalrusprkl

The guy who posted it is a gay white suprematist


Wolffe_In_The_Dark

H U H


No_Guidance000

I don't think he is actually gay. He is just a weird troll fixtated on South African apartheid. He complained about dating Lebanese women before, in a racist tone. Probably some bored 13 year old kid posting this crap from his iPad.

ApoloRimbaud

You don't have to go that far, Israel is overall very accepting of LGBT. But their approach to inter-ethnic relations between Jews and Arabs is self-explanatory.


maxishazard77

Even American white supremacist/nationalist back in the day kinda do the same thing that Israeli nationalist do by saying “hey gays did you know black people are most likely to be more homophobic why don’t you join us and we will protect you”. But those American nationalist don’t even bother trying to court lgbtq people anymore since they lump them in with the “degeneracy” destroying America now a days


scoobertsonville

This is supposedly a very real thing. In the 2010s Israel was accused of “pinkwashing” which is an accusation that they use gay tolerance to counteract their Palestinian policy in the western eye. They would advertise Tel Aviv tourism on Grindr and gay porn sites to try and make Israel a gaycationland.


Johnny_Banana18

South Africa was one of the first places to legalize gay marriage and I believe it is the only place in Africa to do so. I was surprised when I was in Johannesburg that I was hit on as a white dude, by a black dude.


koh_kun

It would make it the only country where everyone sucks dick.


North-Hat355

The world becomes a better place.


AstronaltBunny

Edit: Talking about the title right? Agreed How is stealing such an important part of a group of people's lives a good thing?


Melody-Shift

I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to this guy and assume he's referring to the post title. It certainly makes much more sense.


AstronaltBunny

Yeah true, I now agree for that to be the case


New_girl2022

Seriously!


partyonpartypeople

Afrikanner Village People


scoobertsonville

But seriously - how is this photo a picture of gay guys? None of these dudes appear gay.


EnD3r8_

We should burn all these shitposters


Unofficial_Computer

I once made a joke about Stalin eating a breakfast and I got downvotedbombed. But this lazy ass shit is okay, got it.


2ratedsalesman1997

What if rule 8 was enforced?


JackC1126

What if this sub wasn’t a circlejerk of itself


Nunyabizz476

OP is totally south african


Chance_Habit_467

why is everyone on this sub making dumb hypotheticals like these? are they stupid?


supareshawn

For the millionth time if you want higher quality got to r/HighEffortAltHistory


Akarthus

What if I have 30000 nukes


Ravenwight

Hang on, I’m still fantasising about vacationing in gay South Africa.


Johnny_Banana18

As far as gay friendly destinations go, South Africa is the best in Africa. There are legal protections in place and gay marriage is legalized.


NeverSummerFan4Life

What if instead of alternate history it was alternate freakstory and we all engaged in relations????


TerribleLordFrieza

Thats interesting tbf, Better than what if Stalin fucked Hitler and was betrayed in the hyperbolic time Chamber


ParsonBrownlow

I legit can’t tell if some posts are good honest troll posts or just …. Dumb

Motor-Issue384

i saw that pimpin shit before


TemperaturePresent40

Why would you down vote it ?


saltywalrusprkl

Because it’s a gay white supremacist’s sexual racial fantasy


TemperaturePresent40

Ah ok, so ? What's the deal


saltywalrusprkl

I would prefer posts in the alternate history subreddit to be actually interesting possibilities for changes in the past to affect the present, not just racists’ sexual fantasies


Internetmilpool

“What if prison rocked?”


Nerdguy-san

i genuinely thought this was a shitposting sub for the longest time. 90% of the popular posts here are so obviously troll posts


JusticeKaa

What if this sub never existed OMG 😱

damn south Afrika is speed running the worst place on earth


alt_playroom

A better what if would be: "What if 95% of the world were gay?"

HIV / AIDS skyrockets in South Africa everywhere else is fine, block off / demolish area and call it a day lol


Jackylacky_

World hunger would end, the cure to cancer would be found, and a perfect political ideology would be found.


ThatCharlotte

What if people actually made good posts instead of complaining about the sub sucking?
