It’s up to interpretation

Maybe he made it but only his crew returned
Whatever idea someone would like to write about
Maybe a tree for family trees? I’m open to any ideas the community has

[Discussion] What is SCP-343?
He claims he is “God” but reading into the article it is clear he is not the creator of the universe as he claims.
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-343
SPOILER
SCP-343 is possibly a powerful reality bender as his cell is larger on the inside than the outside, he deletes records and creates false ones, and he seems to be able to manipulate guards as all abandon their post and allow anyone access to him.
What really is SCP-343 and what does he truly want?
What's the worst tropes in alt history?
Examples
The Axis win WW2(somehow) by making more of this or that

This is a under rated favorite of mine the Atlantropa Articles

Not 100% what you’re looking for but a short read https://althistory.fandom.com/wiki/American_Rebellion_(Britain_Reigns_Supreme!)

I’ve been looking for federated software for genealogy but it doesn’t seem anyone has made anything like that yet and also thanks for reminding me to check these before I post 😅
If you’d like to look https://www.findagrave.com/ Maybe helpful
I mean look at people like Genghis Khan there’s supposedly millions of million descended from him
Sorry to ask but what’s wrong with it? Edit Ah I see whoops glad someone caught that
