If you went back in time and consciousness into your infant self with all your memories intact, what would you change?

If you fall into a mirror-verse, would you like to meet your mirror self?

If you have a single super power, what would it be?

If you have a choice to go into different worlds, which world would you choose?

If you're a (neurotypical) person what would you do?

If you can swap bodies with someone else, who would you choose?

If you're heterosexual and meet an opposite gender version of you, would you do them?

Some of those are very common, not weird. And the last one sounds like twincest.

If you are so smart, then why are you so stupid?

Fnord, I'm going to ignore that and assume that wasn't aimed at anyone particular. But either be nice on my threads, or stay away. Otherwise I'm going to have to get an admin or moderator involved.

I believe Fnord was doing what you (as the OP) requested by recounting something commonly said by others TO him.

And indeed that is probably a not uncommon thing for aspies and HFAs to experience over the years. Folks being astounded at your combination of great savant knowledge about certain subjects with your conspicuous social ineptitude and cluelessness.

Have experienced the similar. Folks saying "how can someone as dumb as you are be as smart as you are?". :lol:

Normally that would be true, but he's been posting many similar posts on my other threads, so that was the last straw.

I believe naturalplastic is correct. Fnord read your first post carefully, unlike me, I forgot to put IF and consequently, my sentence isn't what you required. My apologies. I can't edit now.

	Fnord's use of the word "you" is generic and not aimed at the OP personally or anyone else. It's an example of a weird "if" question he's been asked, as was requested.

I posted the question, "If you are so smart, then why are you so stupid?", because I had been asked that weird question many times during my childhood.

Thanks for all the support!

The compliment and complementary insult cancel each other out, therefore he did not insult you.

If a great prophet approaches from the west, what does it mean?

If two hands clap and there is a sound, what is the sound of one hand clapping?

If you were a superhero with no super powers what would your name be?

If your pet could talk, what would it say about your bathroom habits?

That is not an "if" question.

But its like an expression used by mobsters in Philadelphia: "you just out of the tree, or what?" (ie that you must be 'evolution impaired'). Lol!

A few of those were asked on WP before including the last. The short version of my response to that one was a def Yes despite the risk of seeming like a narsist. And some people think I have low self-esteem :roll:

Lyrics from "If" (1971), by David Gates for the band "Bread":

"If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?"

"If a face could launch a thousand ships, then where am I to go?"
