what if everyone's iq was above 120?
what if meat grew on trees?
what if cereal killers used tomato juice?
what if everyone had xray vision?
what if our brains were actually sentient parasites to the otherwise vegetative bodies they inhabit?
what if reproduction was lethal - praying mantis style?
what if we could edit our own minds to change our habits, ideas, how we pervieve things, but not our memories?
1- nothing would really change, IQ isn't really accurate in messuring intelligence, and if your hope is like "oh people will stop falling into scams and whatever", you'd be wrong, since predatory psychology tactics have nothing to do with IQ, and you're vulnerable to propaganda, scam, conspiracy theories, and even getting bad grades at school, all, while having a high IQ.
In fact, if we were to assume that everyonr having an IQ equal or above to 120 would means they absorbe academic information better, that wouldn't really affect the education system. Education and exams in theory work to prove that you know something, but, in practice, it's more of a competitive system, the exams would just get harder, because the system needs people to fail. At the end of the day, universities and other institutions have a set number of seats, so they cant just admit everyone.
Also, science probably wouldn't advance much faster IMO, since IQ just fucking sucks.
2- Probably veganism would be way more of an accepted lifestyle, in fact, I would go as far to say that politicians would be aiming for everyone to follow a vegan lifestyle, and with enough time, they would achieve it, and honestly, life would be better.
3- no comments
4- x-ray vision wouldn't work IRL, but if you mean superman type x-ray vision, then, society would be pretty fucked as no one ever has any privacy.
5- what
6- porn probably wouldn't exist, also, there would probably be a smaller population of humans, which would probably mean that a lot less things are going on in the world.
7- I we're talking about a science fiction type of thing where I can go to a place and ask for them to change my habits and personality to whatever i'm feeling, I cant see a world where this wasn't outlawed, but if for some reason it wasn't, it would probably be abused to no end by totalitarian governments, conflict and war would overall be a lot worse.

what if everyone was animal anthros from various species like in Zootopia? :3
Racism would be way, WAY, more of an issue, it's funny to see like "ohhhhhhhh wow they're so cute!!!111!! omgggggg furry society,,,,,," but, IRL it would be a fucking mess, first of all, each species have differences when it comes to food, so, for every individual species there would be less variety in food, and it would also be more expensive, since we probably wouldn't be able to produce it like we do our food now, given the lower demand of any individual food item, the productions would have to be smaller, so the price of any food would be closer to the price organic foods are like today, except, we probably would also have to export food a lot more and it just would be a fucking mess
that's only food, similar things would also happen in things with healthacare or even getting a haircut, think that in order to get anything done you basically need to find something that works for your species instead of how it is IRL, where anything works for everyone (mostly)
just, everyones life would be worse.

what if osu players (especially top players) use osu forum instead of twitter ?
it would be pretty shitty NGL, I don't think forums would operate that well for all osu communication, think that everyone would have to see everyone's bullshit
abraker already did the c one so
