Define harm. Would causing every nigger, sand nigger, pajeet, and kike on earth to lose their sex drive and become permanently infertile be considered harm?

I did do a long post on page two explaining this.

In this case though, considering nonwhites tend to be WAY more autistically obsessed with sex than white men are (to the point where a lot of their artistic symbolism is all about fertility gods with big cocks and such) yeah you'd have just created entire races of permavirgins who get to live to at least 100, knowing the whole time that they're the last members of their race and no more are coming.

So, not killing anyone?
Basically Batman with superpowers?
What's the point?

This type of response was funny at first but getting variations of "what's the point of having REALITY SHAPING POWERS if I can't literally kill people?" is starting to bother me.

Seriously people.... with that kind of power, you can't think of anything to do? If killing is denied then you're just out of ideas?

Not going off on you specifically, just I'm shocked how common that response has been.

Although, I seriously have to object to "Basically Batman with superpowers" That's.... really quite an understatement. That's the equivalent of calling Hurricane Katrina a fun waterslide.

I mean... you can still do that. Hell you can go full Mortal Kombat on them. Just they won't die if you do. (Just like in Mortal Kombat, actually).

And there is no think like overthink!

Ah well.
That could work in my case; literally a Yakuza game IRL.

Okay, so some of you are indeed pretty nasty.

CLARIFYING THE 100 YEARS THING: The rule is anyone you harm gets to live to be exactly 100. After that, they can die. I'm not sure what the rule should be in case you harm someone who is already more than 100, but people can't become perpetually immortal by this rule.

MOST DISAPPOINTING SO FAR: The people who were like "if I can't kill anyone that means I can't do anything!" Seriously? There's nothing else you can think to do with that level of power?

That said...
ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO: The people who immediately realized the rules here could easily be gamed and that the "100 years" thing could indeed carry some horrifying implications.

THE CONFUSING: The guy who said God granting you power would be blasphemy. Umm, no. Nothing GOD does can, by definition, be blasphemy. You seriously think God can blaspheme against God?

.....................................

So here's what I was thinking personally:

ONE - Make a new landmass where I transport all the "muh oppression" types to (and have it hanging over the head as a threat to anyone else). I'm too nice to make it a desolate shithole... but I would make it so these guys can receive content but never export it. Meaning they can see what the rest of the world says, does, believes etc but be absolutely unable to comment on or interact with it in any way. The only exception I might make is them being allowed to contact friends and family members, and even then the call can't be recorded (so that this can't act as a work-around for posting lefty shit on Youtube).

TWO - Take over all the world's governments and force fixes to their various issues, I'd also make it clear that if I disagree with any of their policies or actions, I change it, and they don't get to veto.

THREE - Establish a new school curriculum where one of the required courses is living in a VR simulation (or magical equivalent of same if it can be done without violating the "no sending people to the Shadow Realm" rule) in which they have to experience what actual oppression is like. There is NO opting out, and ideally I'd like for it to be one of those "its only a moment but inside the simulation you think a year has passed" things, sort of like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from DBZ.

FOUR: Clones of myself everywhere, except without my own lazy personality and instead their only desire is to help people.

Anyway those were the first things that came to my mind. More are forming but I'll let the spergery build up for a moment.

You're already on your way to becoming drunk with power that will lead you to ruin. Exiling people to Woke Island just because you don't like them and threatening to send others there if they displease you. Taking over the all the governments of the world. Forcing people into The Matrix so you can oppress them for their "own good". God is either going to smite you or man is going to find a way to destroy you or seal you up where you can't do any more harm.

So if I had these powers myself I don't think I'd make my presence known at all. I'd exile myself to some remote location behind an invisible barrier and observe. Intervention will be sparse. I will use the knowledge collected to help others but never directly. If you let your power get out of control or intervene too much you become a menace to mankind. You aren't helping even if you think you are. You are just making things worse.

Some day if I tire of this realm or existence itself I will pass my knowledge on to others. Maybe in the form of a great library or some other tangible way to teach of the past. But I'd be wary of recruiting acolytes due to the fact that it could easily turn into a cult and undo all my years of work.

I find these kinds of power fantasies more interesting because of what they say about the people who have them, more than the concept itself.

First of all, it wouldn't be natural or fair. Strength isn't satisfying unless you worked for it by the same rules as everyone else.

More importantly, you have to have the self-awareness to realize that if you start down that path, you're only going to get addicted to solving things the easy way. You're going to become tortured and power hungry, constantly changing things, obsessing over what you can tweak to finally make things "right" or be happy until you go completely off the rails.

The idea is actually pretty frightening, constantly flipping through versions of reality with nothing to orient yourself by except for your own whims.

You won't know the outcomes of anything you do, and as things play out in ways you didn't expect you're going to want to fix them, and then those won't turn out the way you expected, and you'll want to fix them, and once you've embraced the idea and gotten your hands in the gears the number of possibilities and obsession with your own power would cause you to lose your mind.

And nobody will be able to commiserate or provide counsel. You'd be totally alone, some once human entity lost in shifting time and space. Absolutely horrifying.

The trad types talk about god, well to me the idea would be blasphemy against the universe. Have some grace and appreciation for your place within the world.

How can you not harm anyone? If you locked up every murderer in the planet you’d be accused of harming them.
I would first grant myself several hundred million quid and buy a load of land, build a lovely house of renovate one and live quietly.
I also would somehow make everyone know the truth about everything. Almost everything. Maybe not people s harmless little intimate secrets, but anything above a personal level. All of it, out in the open. All the lies and grift and corruption of every corpo, government, and NGO. All fully exposed. What people do then is up to them
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

As someone who has tried to write or draw... I've actually experienced pretty much this. You start to obsess over one line being wrong, or shapes and things not being quite right, or somehow once you've written your story its not as good as it was in your head... and it makes you crazy.

You sometimes need to set limits. Like one of mine whenever I have time-travel fantasies (which I do often) is "no altering the timeline before 2012." Especially not anything that would make my life play out any different. I don't want a childhood where I somehow never saw Lucky Luke or a mid-teens where I somehow completely missed that one trip to Kentucky (not gonna elaborate). After 2012 though, who fucking cares?

I was telling someone else that when it comes to world-altering, what I really want is the 1990s back... not quite as it really was (I don't want to recreate the Cold War or something like that) but more like the version of it that exists in my head. But then I just wrote a paragraph about how THAT goes....

I'd argue the other way around is both kinder, and worse.
Give them what they want. Snap your fingers, and they're actually women.

Many post ops will tell you, it doesn't fix shit. You still have all of your mental instability and depression, but now, you don't have dysphoria to blame it on. Hence the 41%.

It has the side benefit of actually helping the 0.01% that actually DO have dysphoria, and they can go on and be happy, getting their wish to not be troons anymore.

Hell... just make the Jusenkyo Springs a real place.

Explanation for people who don't have an encyclopedic knowlege of anime: in Ranma 1/.2 there are these magic springs (called the Jusenkyo Springs) which give you shapeshifting powers if you fall in them. Getting dunked in hot water returns you to your natural form, cold water takes on your "curse" form. What you transform into depends on the spring you fell into and what drowned in that spring in the past. One of the springs is "Spring of Drowned Girl." There is also a Spring of Drowned Man.

So, with that I can make a Spring of Cures on the other side of the world and charge large entrance fees?

In the canon of Ranma, apparently you could cure curses just by jumping in the spring that closely matches what you really are--so if you're a man and you want to stop transforming into a woman, duck, pig, whatever.... just hop in the spring of drowned man.

That said, in the OP's scenario, you can make the springs work however you damn well please. So yeah, your idea is entirely valid.
