What would you do if you were God?

Contemplate myself. Lol at everyone implying the unmoved mover can move.
 
Create a ton of different timelines just to answer all the "what if" questions I've had. What if (influential person) never became famous/infamous, what if x country won or lost a war, what if x fad never caught on, stuff like that. Then maybe if I ever find the best possible timeline I'll invite some people from this one to go live there.

I'd probably just go about living my normal life unless someone else became a god, and they decide to abuse their power. Then I'd try to stop them.

Enjoy the fact I have ultimate Rock Band (Jimmy Hendrix on Guitar, George Harrison on Rhythm, John Entwistle on Bass and John Bonham on drums) and remove Eve's sin so I can see her run around naked.
 
I like how no one stated the obvious. Fund the Kiwifarms forever and archive every single lolcow from the world at once. I mean, I'm God. I should at least keep myself entertained somehow.

My answer to the question would depend on which conception of "God" that we are using. Would I become the Jewish conception of God, or the Christian or Islamic conceptions? Am I to take the nature of the Hindu God, or the Sikh or Zoroastrian God? This is not even getting into the specific interpretations of these conceptions (for example, the debates within Christian theology over whether the God of Christianity is immutable, and, if so, the specific nature of his immutability, and how this relates to his other attributes).

This answer of mine, as of now, will base itself on the most generic, "limited" conception of God imaginable, basically the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition: the creator and ruler of the universe (defined here as strictly the observable universe, for simpicity).

If I were to spontaneously become God, I would spent my time contemplating and understanding my own existence. After that, here is the list of things that I would want to do:

1. Go absolutely insane, and start fucking around with spacetime, the laws of physics, the physical constants, the four fundamental forces, all forms of mass-energy, etcetera. Probably cause some kind of universal catastrophe, then reverse it as if it was nothing, with no one remembering (because I control causality too).

2. Start semi-randomly giving superpowers to various people, good and evil, and watch the planet Earth spiral into chaos and madness. These superpowers will have an at least vaguely scientific explanation for each and every one of them, because I'm anal retentive like that. Hell, I'll even find/make life on other planets to give them superpowers too.

3. Start constructing cosmic entities, because you can never go wrong with a pantheon of literal deities and beings who are deities in everything but name. Some consciousnesses who contain various concepts fundamental to reality (like causality, gravity, chairs, etc.), some living black holes, some personifications of constellations

4. When that finally gets boring to me, I would write The Great Big Book of Everything, containing such trivial information as the scientific Theory of Everything (because since I built the universe, I should logically be able to know everything about it), a revised version of the Ten Commandments that is based on moral universalism, a logical proof of my existence, and other things, and come down to Earth in the form of a living nuclear explosion, while handing certain people (who will be my new prophets) the book, while I'm surrounded by light beings (who these prophets will invariable identity as "angels") who circle me and sing nothing but my favorite songs (of course revised to complete perfection).

5. Completely destroy the universe, only to recreate it instantly after.

6. Repeat number 5, but recreating the universe to fit some stupid story I have in my head.

7. Rinse and repeat.

I would make a creation in my image, and I would want the creation to prove its freedom by loving me. It would be an introspection over the matters of slavery and freedom.
