What would you do with the power of a god?

By which I mean you have the power to mold new lifeforms into reality at your most powerful. Destroy planets and stars, sure. But you can also created planets and stars as well as entire species at any stage (animal, microbe, cavemen, civilization, etc.)

Would you destroy all that is and remake the world in your image? Create a new world from scratch to rival earth and humanity? Or just chill at home, changing the channel with a wink?

Firstly, I would want to travel around this universe in order to see what's what and where is where, what works and what doesn't. Then I'll try to decide what I should create in my own universe.

@Wraithorn Omniscience is an option. At a snap of your fingers you can be fully aware of all civilization across all of reality from the first use of tools to this very moment. Even what they might become if left to their own means.

@RedwoodBarman Well, do you know what the problem is with omniscience ? If there is nothing left to discover or learn then one becomes incredibly bored really quickly.

So....in that case I think I might just go find a spot between universes, if there is such a thing. If there isn't then I'll make such a thing. Then I might just explode myself so violently that I create my own universe with it's own laws and seed the entire universe with myself. That way any life form that appears will be a different version of me and I would experience myself from as many different points of view as possible. A few violent and terrible religions might even appear. Then I can sacrifice myself to myself and all kinds of stupidly interesting things that we/I can laugh about after the universe collapses in on itself again one day. After all, laughter keeps us sane...:-) Or not, I'll have to test that theory in my universe somehow. 👹😹

@Wraithorn That got... interesting.
