Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
High, yes, but this world's inertia is orbital.

Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
_Nothing_ is more high inertia than the United States of Lizardia. After that, Infinity does not "freak out". For that matter your new world is much like Caliph in its' technology and havign medieval Islam survie that is about as weird as having our culture do the same.
It's like small California towns where they have to worry about whst the plural of "Apocalypse" is. After a while it's "Been there, done that. Got the shirt and the hat.".

Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
Yes, the only thing that would worry Infinity concerning high inerti is if they ran into a parallel with sapient fungi or intelligent bacterial masses that inexplicably mimicked the history of Homeline. I imagine that a few of their scientists would go insane trying to explain that one.

Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
Smirnoff 1
Yakov Smirnoff is best known for starting the whole trend of "In soviet Russia" themed jokes. The core of these jokes is to take a usual description of an action and turn who the actor is on its head. For example "You watch TV" turns into "In Soviet Russia TV watches you". In this timeline this is literally how it works, it is a complete mess that quickly causes incredible confusion, fear and frustration in "normal" people. Cars drive drivers, food eats people, the sun is powered by plants and more. This complete mess still, somehow is an echo of OTL history, with the exception of Yakov Smirnoff. He is the most famous man in the world, and makes jokes that are just normal statements to OTL people, but funny jokes to the people of this timeline. |

Diseases spread people. Who didn't learn about smallpox infecting the Americas with Columbus?

Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
And Limeys are so coined because they were kept by limes on their ships. The limes would eat the sailors, cutting back the ever growing numbers of the scurvy dogs. The ships seemed fine with the limes, as they never ran out of Limeys to float on, despite the reduced number.

Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
I am just imaging some of the horrible things that would happen to an agent when their clothing wears them...in all seriousness, such a world would be instantly lethal to humans, as they would be slaughtered en masse by inanimate objects.
