Also, I’m not sure I’d actually use my god-like powers to KILL, per se. My powers would be like…an extreme form of empathy. I’d have the power to make brutal killers, etc., feel the pain that their victims felt…exactly as their victims would have felt it. They wouldn’t die, or even be physically harmed, but they’d go mad from the experience and then I’d send them to an institution set aside for them.
I would also have the power to beat up whoever I wanted to with a baseball bat. Asshole customer at a retail or food service establishment? You’re getting batted. Shouting idiotic comments at people from a moving car? Batted. Hitting on someone who clearly isn’t interested and won’t take “no” for an answer? SO batted.
I will also be able to punch people through the phone and the internet.
New World Order doesn’t have theists in it am afraid. But am balancing it out by removing China and the Koreas. Japan is cool as is Australia and New Zealand. The rest of Asia is cool.
Central Asia is not. The stan republics and the Indian subcontinent spoil my view of the Caucasus and Himalayas. Bye Bye people!
France gets a by but with the exception of Southern Italy the rest of Europe not so lucky. North and South Americas are depopulated ( with the exception of the East Coast Northern USA. Canada you’re in too.
Middle East and across the Persian Gulf? Sans peeps!
Africa? Well you really wouldn’t turn that music down would you? Ethipoia is okay as is Kenya. But there will be no more emails coming out of Nigeria for a while! Namibia gets to expand across the depopulated continent too.
I would decide what the proper sustainable population of the planet at our current tech level is, and then ‘turn off’ people’s abilities to procreate for a few generations until the level was met.
That way I wouldn’t have to directly kill anyone, but the results would be similar to the death of something on the order of 90% of everyone.
Almost every *modern *single problem that Humanity has encountered can be traced to an unsustainably large population. Well… all of them expect religious conflicts.
i’d have every person that attacked another person without provocation exterminated. then if there relatives cried too loudly, them as well. anyone that took advantage of another person to rip them off as well.
after the killing subsided, i would do away with currency. everything would be shared by everyone. I’d ban cemeteries. corpses would be used for spare parts, science, and compost. if an earthquake or tsunami or flood destroyed towns etc no rebuilding would be allowed there. reproduction would be a reward, not a right.
So, I go into this bar and there’s this lady there and she looks pretty good so I go over to her and ask her if I can buy her a drink. She doesn’t look real happy about it and she tells me “hhmpf; I wouldn’t go out with you if you were the last man left on Earth!” I told her “Lady, if I was the last man left on Earth, you wouldn’t even be allowed in line.”
