Well, according to the company's website, different types of warehouses vary in size. In any case, I think that the sudden materialization of thick vines, dense foliage and copious plant life will ruin Amazon's viability for the time being. And given how preeminent of a delivery service it is, those used to ordering online will have to wait for alternatives to fill the void while Amazon sorts its situation out. For another frivolous ASB scenario, though, ‘Earl And Elizabeth Warren Swap Bodies’. This Earl WarrenPrecisely him, yes. For one, I think that to avoid being needlessly spiteful towards either person, we should give them one another’s memories and skills so that they can get around for at least a while. Without that, Liz stuck in Earl’s body sometime in the mid-20th Century may not know all of the behind-the-scenes stuff that went on as it pertains to Supreme Court cases of the time. Similarly, Earl stuck in Liz’s body as of roughly 2020 would be out of his element in a world of digital devices and different geopolitics (namely no more Cold War)—unless, of course, he also gets with her memories so that he knows how to cope long enough to regather his bearings.

Can the 1970s handle 2010 memes. I have no certain idea, though it probably depends from meme to meme. Though almost all of them would weird typical Western audiences out, the particularly dank ones among them would completely blow their minds, I think.

'Elon Musk Only Describes Whatever He Likes As "Badass". But is that not what he does in real life.

No problem for me. I've never danced anyway.

Who's defining military sniper? I can see a lot of fringe groups and terrorist claim that their 'military' forces and hence qualify for this boost.
Either way its likely to be destabilising as it makes a lot of people even more lethal and it only needs a few bad eggs to make the world a lot more dangerous.

Yeah, I wondered if the implications of such a scenario would amount to something grisly if I thought about them hard enough. In which case, I suppose that only the militaries of internationally recognized nation-states are affected by ASB magic. Meaning that while the DPRK gets its perfect snipers, the Taliban doesn’t. On the actual battlefield, I suppose that infantry and other exposed targets will just have to hope and prey that snipers don’t choose them as their targets. I’m also guessing that armed forces around the world invest more into counter-snipers, as well as additional special forces and cutting-edge technology catered towards taking out enemy snipers specifically. Which in of itself reorients the priorities of whole militaries in different directions than usual, though specifics beyond the possibilities that I’ve already mentioned currently elude me.
