Lemmy has some good ideas.
Won’t be specific, but certain parts of Washington DC and Florida would be a crater.
I'm already going to a kid amusement park tomorrow, so I guess I would just be the coolest dad there.
You know that one scene in season 1 of invincible where Omni man is on that alien planet? Basically that.
Probably watch a bunch of tv shows and fall asleep, if it lands on a weekend.
Figure out if I’d be more haunted by my actions as a temporary world superpower, and watching the status quo return very quickly afterward, or more haunted by all the things I could have done and didn’t. Sit pondering that for 48 hours.
Have to be honest here throwing right wingers into the sun I'll sleep well
Bang Lois Lane and order some pizza afterwards, obviously.
I'd sleep the two days, nobody would mess with me.
Probably do some miracles on national tv and populated areas, then create a new book club. Create sanctuaries for book study groups. Assign leaders across the world from those who protect the people.
This time the book is written using formal logic so it’s impossible to misunderstand and pick and choose what you want to follow. It only provides a logic framework of being kind and empathetic to others, respecting their rights(and what rights are), and consent, etc. This time the book will be timeless with no contradictions.
Then kindly “convince” a couple of billionaires and world leaders to donate 99.9% of their wealth to the new cause. 48 hours are too short to change the world for good. But you can kickstart a brilliant process towards a great future.
First I would get myself paid. Then I would drop a big rock on DC and credit reporting companies. Probably take out a bunch of healthcare insurance companies. Spend a few hours looking up companies responsible for the most pollution/human rights violations and remove them. Drop a big rock on the Kremlin and CCCP headquarters, probably North Korea too. Lots of big rocks dropped from really high.
None on le WhiteHome and NATO folk?
Hollywood adaptation with realistic plotline tho
