A universe where an unlimited number of monkeys spend their entire lives randomly writing things until the complete works of Shakespeare are produced...

If you adhere to the theory of evolution then WE ARE LIVING IN THAT UNIVERSE :O
Clever, even though you really don't get the reference yourself. The idea isn't that monkeys would magically produce the exact words of one artist, It's that enough idiots or literate monkeys would eventually be able to produce something to that level.
And yes we are. Except the monkeys are mostly hairless, big, and clearly not unlimited to anybody with basic math comprehension.
You blew my mind maaan... :O

There's a universe that's exactly like this one, only with the color pallet shifted three to the right.
That universe is this one, theoretically. Seeing as no one can perceive colors through the eyes of another, there probably are people who have shifted color palettes and are unaware of it, since they already identify each color with a name, and colors can't be described.

A universe where dividing by zero is as basic as 2+2.
Actually that leads to an interesting question (for some value of interesting)... would it be possible for an alternate universe to have a different answer to the sum of, say, 2+2? In this universe it's 4, last time I checked. But what would it mean for some other universe to have 2+2=5?
2+2=5 for extremely large values of 2.

A universe where Pi is 3.

A universe where Pokemon catch you.

You know what's really sad, there are an infinite number of universes out there, and ours one of the few without superpowers. Hell, every other universe has a Batman and we don't. Yet.

As unlikely as it sounds there is a universe where people actually post threads in the right forum sections.
