For some reason the URL was not working for the story submission: http://www.projectmurphy.net

some examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/projectmurphy/ https://www.facebook.com/projectmurphybot/

It might not have worked because it's already been posted before? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11752790 But I think reposts are allowed on HN, so I'm not sure if that's why.

No it let me, but the URL was broken with an extra /, so I had to delete it and link to the about.

This is indeed very fun, but when mentioning "what if" the first thing jumps into my mind is alternative history, like r/historywhatif. With all the fancies of machine learning and Microsoft wouldn't be super cool to have something that tries to figure out historical events, visualize them in a timeline or a tree, let you replace some titles and compute the yields?

Hope I'm not off topic.
