[WP] When someone dies, the afterlife they go to is determined by WHERE they died. Dying in Scandinavia sends the soul to Valhalla or Hel, but dying in Greece lands them in the Underworld, and so on. You have just died in Antarctica.	1730	Real-Deal-Steel
[WP] As magic returns to the world, purchasable drinks actually start having magical effects. Energy colas actually imbue you with energy. Diet drinks actually cause noticeable weight loss. Vitamin drinks heal injuries and disease, and so on.	1729	mistaque
[WP] They told you your power was a "healing factor" able to heal others as well, it turns out, your actual power was turning anyone you touch into a healthy human, and since healthy humans don't have mutations and therefore no powers, many supers would rather risk death than being treated by you.	1727	ShitposterSL
[WP] As a joke/Tic, an atheist always thanks the Dark Lord when good things happen. When they die, they are shocked to find out that The Dark Lord is real, and they are his favorite follower, as they never, ever asked for anything.	1726	chronophage
[WP] Santa IS a right jolly old elf. YOU, on the other hand, are a deadly serious Tolkien-esque elf sent by the Council of Elders to finally bring this deadly, albeit mirthful, fugitive and slaver to justice...	1726	overcomebyfumes
[WP] You're a struggling musician. While fooling around with your guitar you see a bright flash and hear a voice say 'Congratulations, My Son, you have found the secret chord. I am pleased.'	1726	theOPAorb
[WP] One genie specialises in a specific kind of ironic wishes. If the wish is for fitness and health, the genie is a drill sergeant from hell and whips them into shape. If they wish for money, the genie makes them go through years of economic schooling.	1726	Shadrak_Meduson
[WP] A multitude of Alien ships warp within range of Earth. Over all electronic devices the message is heard, "Earth, we come in peace. In all the universe only one other Species has mastered Death and Destruction as you have. We need your help."	1725	Microthrowaway64
[WP] You dig up a time capsule you buried years ago. Instead of memorabilia, you find a modern phone. It rings.	1725	GastricSparrow
[WP] You live in the ultimate expanded universe. Most alcoholics have tragic backstories, grizzled veterans are usually epic war heroes, anybody normal almost always turns out to be a secret superhero/spy/alien/wizard/etc... The bar fights are ridiculous.	1725	eddyekko
