Once we hear that Obama bit someone's sister once, we'll have entered a golden age. Or some wacky alternate reality without shrimp.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Anything's possible. I'm watching a show on the Science channel about super string theory and alternate dimension. It's making my brain hurt.
I need to go back and read Mimsy Were the Borogoves.

If I move to the universe without shrimp, will I remember shrimp, eternally longing for something that doesn't exist?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yes, the Peruvian gang of fat-harvesting murderers was a hoax.

I just measured my calf for my own amusement--it's 16 3/4" around.
I don't know why your memories of shrimp wouldn't survive, -t.

Then I would rather not go. To remember shrimp and never have the possibility of eating one again, not oiled, not sizzling, not dipped in delicious coconut batter, it would be a torment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No, there are no memories of shrimp in a proper world without shrimp. In a world without the very concept of shrimp, you can't remember it. Otherwise it's just a world where there isn't shrimp anymore.
bon, that's a weird thing for a cop to make up. That's not where I would have guessed the source of the story. Seems very high risk and really easy to get busted. Journalist, I'd have thought, or even criminals.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
You could have a myth of shrimp in a world without shimp.
People would think -t was like one of those alien abductees.

I wouldn't have thought that fat-stealing story would get weirder, but it has. How very strange. Top organized crime investigators just, apparently, making things up.
I don't think I'd go around talking about shrimp. I'd just be sad and wistful and unable to explain why. Maybe that would be better, to sing the praises of the delicious imaginary crustacean, but as an alien to their universe I would be afraid of drawing attention, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There is a world without dragons where there are no paintings of dragons or stories of dragons or dreams of dragons. It is not this one. This is a world without real dragons.
