What if Everything Were Opposite?

What if... one day you woke up and everything was completely opposite of what you knew your entire life?  Left was right, black was white, up was down...  Imagine eyes in the back of your head, which is of course what you use to walk with!  Or how about Monday as the last day of a 5-day weekend!  The Earth rotates the other way and the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, all at night of course.  It could be so maddening that attempts to end your life would only make you live forever!!!  Jumping from the roof would mean you could fly!  Men would get pregnant, not women!  Donald Trump could even become President of the United States!  Oh wait!!!!

Just sayin...

It is possible to find a place in the world where the sun rotates over the day in the opposite direction. it's kinda trippy when you first notice.

And your blog made me get an earworm:
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

In your opposite world, people would be gods, and gods would be laymen; children would rule the world while the old couldn't vote. Bosses would be at the whim of the lowest in the employment chain, while the low would rule the roost. People would wish for the 'good new days' instead of the "good old days"

@OnceUponATime There would be no fighting and all people would get along.  There would be no need for weapons.  Swearing would actually be positively received by all.  And most importantly, you could just whip it out and pee wherever you like!

This is almost lyrical . . . nicely phrased. :)

Thanks. I wasn't thinking when I wrote it, maybe that is my problem sometimes when I write - overthinking.

 

@crazydaffodil I'm not sure that there would be no fighting. Wouldn't it make your enemies your best buddies, and your closest friends your arch rivals?
Whip it out and pee wherever, except for in the toilet ;)

Isn't that kind of is how it is now though?  Keep your enemies close because your friends are the ones who are going to screw you over the worst.

Toilet?  Where we're going, we don't need no stinkin toilet!

The "black was white" part made me think of what if Black people and White people woke up the opposite race? That would be interesting!

Wait?  Would that mean today was a day off instead of a workday?

Birds and mice chasing cats, dogs' tails chasing them, snow falling up instead of down...

But wait -- for us older folks, do we have to stop our retirement and go to work, and then later we have to quit work so we can go to school?  :confusion-scratchheadblue:

at least the diapers at both ends of life will stay the same :my_tongue:

If you walked with your head, wouldn't your eyeballs/facial parts be in your feet then, if we're going for total opposites? It seems like the total opposite world just turns into an actual 360 instead of a 180 after a while...

      People on Reddit think Joy wasn't there, which is understandable since she went through something similar. Going to something like that would probably just bring all that pain back up.

      RE: number of c-sections - I've heard of women in Europe being told 2 only; my friend's parents argued that Americans do more and their doctor okayed four. Women in US 4 only. But have met women who have had 5 sections. Two women I know were told at their last c-section (3rd and 5th) that their uterus was at the point of rupture and advised them to not have any more pregnancies. My point is it's very individual and a doctors should consider individual circumstances.

      One sister could be a crime of opportunity, but 4 sisters and a babysitter presumably multiple times each is a preference. 

      And considering the age of the youngest sister at the time? Yeah, that's not a crime of opportunity.

      She talked about how the little children were taking bread from the pantry and putting it in there.

      That could be concerning.

      Look I know kids do weird things as part of games, and maybe I've been reading JRod too much but my first thought was that they are hungry and hiding food for later.

      This I just don't get. Surely at least part of the point of it is storage? At the very least wouldn't you clean just to make sure you hadn't brought spiders or other insects in with you?? Betting at least part of the price difference was cleaning, restoring, polishing and insect-free guarantee!

      She talked about how the little children were taking bread from the pantry and putting it in there. So maybe it was clean when it came home but then the food got in it? 

      Unclear. I guess I don't get why if you recorded that you wouldn't pause, wipe it out, and rerecord? I would be embarrassed by that.
