What cool things would you do being omnipotent?

Post Reply New Topic

If you suddenly got the power of omnipotence, what use would you make of it to have a good fun – the whole world as a huge playground of yours? That’s what I would do then:

-Appearing in front of some chosen people, making them my prophets – I’d share with each of them a different version of the truth. Later, I’d be laughing my ass off for the next few centuries observing mortals slaughtering each other in my name because I’d keep the status of their goddess. And many centuries (or even millennia) later I’d appear in that theocratic world again only to explain it was just an innocent joke of mine and that it wasn’t my fault that they took it so seriously. (Observing results of my revelation again would keep me amused for many, many years afterwards ).

-Turning all straight/bisexual people into gays and lesbians because it would be funny as hell to observe them trying with disgust to reproduce to not allow extinction of humankind happen (I’d take their whole technology away so they’d be forced to make babies in a natural way, hahaha, they’d be so disgusted by the perspective of going to bed with a representative of an opposite sex ).

-Turning all people in the world into people with AS/HFA/PDD-NOS as an experiment, you know, to check how such a world would work.

-I’d make all people have tattoos on their foreheads informing about their orientation – just for fun.

-All dachshunds in the world would be 3 meters long (and free of any spine problems caused by it) because I like them to be looooong.

And many, many more. And what about you?

I'd resurrect the founders of as many religions as possible. Moses, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Jesus, Guru Nanak, Zoroaster, Mohammed, Joseph Smith, Luther, Calvin, L. Ron Hubbard ...(not sure what to do about Hinduism, that one being lost in the mists of time - maybe I'd just command 'whoever founded Hinduism' to rise from the dead and see who turned up)...then I'd put them all in the Big Brother house and stand well back. Normally I hate reality TV, but I reckon that could be quite entertaining, and enlightening, to the world in general.

I'd make it so, at an arbitrary age - say, 25 - everyone automatically changed sex for a year, then changed back again at the end of that year. Just so they could see what it was like.

I'd make all politicians temporarily turn bright blue every time they told a lie. Westminster would end up looking like Smurfland.

More later, I think. This is giving me ideas...

My first and last act as an All Powerful Being would be to rid myself of the gift/burden.

The skin of racists would of course be changed into the thing they hate so much.

Manu! That's the legendary first man, king, and survivor of the great flood in Hinduism, so technically probably the first Hindu. No idea if he actually existed, but he's the guy I was trying to think of.

Esperanto would be OK as long as the rest of the world understood it, which of course, they would, because I'd make it so they could.

I'm also tempted to remove the ice from Antarctica and either deposit a load of really weird ancient-looking architecture there to screw with the archeologists' heads, or turn it into a giant zoo park for real live Dr. Seuss animals. (Alpacas are already halfway there, but the world needs more ridiculous-looking critters.)

Well if you can make that architecture subject to non-Euclidian geometry, it'd look rather like something out of HP Lovecraft!

Anyway.

If I was omnipotent, I'd probably put together the greatest rock concert in history - bring back Elvis, Hendrix, Lennon, Janis Joplin, and many others. If you can do anything, why not have fun doing it?

I'd also erase from history the truly pathetic bit in Friends where Joey says that if he was omnipotent, he'd kill himself...

The world would be split into the following regions: Svealand, Götaland and Norrland (Sweden), Västerland (North America, British Isles, Norway and the rest of the islands), Södra Västerland (South America), Övre Söderland (Continental Europe), Nedre Söderland (Africa), Österland (Russia, Japan, Finland) and Södra Österland (Middle East, India, China, Oceania).

I'm afraid I wouldn't trust myself to have fun with omnipotence. The first thing I'd do would be to set up some kind of safety net over myself, to make sure I didn't go all evil and power-mad. The second thing would probably be to end the universe, and start it up again with different rules.

I'd make every woman look like Pamela Anderson.

All the oceans and rivers and other bodies of water would be made of champagne.

It would rain Bailey's, except it would be magically protected from mixing with the champagne (cos that's a gross combination. I tried it once).

Chocolate would go on trees, wrappers and all.

Everyone in the world would automatically understand every single language known to humankind (that would also solve some problems mentioned earlier in this thread).

Britain wouldn't be so damn rainy all the time. Except no, if it rained Bailey's I wouldn't mind so much.

Every computer would have a special portal in it so that when you order something off the internets, your purchase just appears on your desk instead of having to be delivered by mail.

I'd take away my omnipotence.
