If you had the powers of the Q. What would you do?

[Gingerbread Demon]

If you had the powers of the Q what would you do?

Would you?

1. Go gallivanting all over the world and doing fun stuff
2. Be a pest to people you do not like and do stuff to annoy them
3. Explore the cosmos and the universe beyond Earth, well you could now hey..

I'd pick 3 and 1.

Oh and also would you be a good citizen of Earth despite your powers, or would you swing the other way on occasion and do less then good things?

I'd travel forward in time a few billion years and see what Humanity is like.

Extinct.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Extinct.

That is rather pesimistic.

 

[charliefox]

That is rather pesimistic.

I billions of years, that's conservative.

 

[rahullak]

Extinct perhaps in the sense that we wouldn't resemble humanity as we know it today or even a 1000 years from now.

I would also:
4. Make sure humanity doesn't destroy itself
5. Make sure humanity travels the stars and reduce the chance that a freak cosmic event destroys it

Or you could populate the planets of the galaxy with every one that has died after leading a miserable life, giving them a second chance. After all if a Q can travel back it time then reviving the dead shouldn't be much of a challenge.

Without going into a discussion on specifics, there would obviously be limits on what a Q can do too. If there aren't any, then it is entirely possible to snap a finger and make the entire Universe including self disappear.

Well, it's possible but what would be the point in doing so?

 

[rahullak]

Just because. Once a Q has spent billions of years exploring anything and everything, it might want to explore death as the only thing remaining.

Only as a last thing then, because there's no turning back.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

What if a Q created the whole universe and life itself? Just because it could.

 

[charliefox]

Maybe that's what happened.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Maybe that's what happened.

Who can say?

 

[Random_Spock]

I'd drop kick Donald Trump into a black hole.

But seriously though:

1. I'd try to help others out and try to keep the planet from being destroyed.

If trump's ass were any fatter he would become a black hole all by himself.

 

[publiusr]

Oh--the things I'd do. First, I'd have my powers controlled by a box, so as to keep the merest whim at bay.
Second, I'd extract all oil/coal out of the ground, replacing the material with inert rock. Separate out all toxic metals chemicals out of the soil. Place everything in big bins. transfer excess CO2 to Mars (and just terraform it the rest of the way with my powers--that and Venus.

Put stargates everywhere--plan out alternate pocket universes where alternate histories occur--and run them to conclusion. (one where the Holocaust never happened--and merging the souls of the dead here with the living there.

Make other mythical beings real--Over unity energy. Making Saturday Morning cartoons real in some emboltment.

Lots of science fiction models. All plastic refuse turned into sculptures.

Lots to do

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

If we were Q could that mean we can make real Waifu?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Well Q obviously felt the need to coerce others into being his lover, see: Janeway and Picard. So even though he could waifu it out the wazoo he prolly got bored with that a few million ago.

 

[Doom Shepherd]

The first thing I'd do would be cure the various illnesses and ailments of my family and friends. And then, everybody else. Because what's omnipotence if you can't tell mother nature to bugger off? Everybody gets the panacea once.

Then I'd start fiddling with the solar system. What would happen if Ganymede, Mars and Titan were in stable orbits near Earth (Lagrange orbits, maybe?) Ooh, what if they were all mushed into one object??!!

Then I might start doing crazy fun stuff, like... oh, let's make all uncaught murderers glow bright red for six months. Rapists flash yellow.

The look on our politicians' faces when they realize that saying something they know to be untrue makes them spontaneously (and loudly) poop...

I'm not too keen of the idea of self-made robo-fantasy women. So I'd have to find some way to make myself Omni-attractive that doesn't mess with free will. Like always knowing what appeals/attracts/arouses. Then it's up to me to do it or not.

I imagine seeing it in the air like a Terminator readout:

Linda: 25. Likes: Country, Camping, Ferrets, Zucchini, Trump. 1% COMPATIBLE. AVOID.
Amber: 28. Likes: Doctor Who, Babylon 5, Kittens, Pasta, Snark. 84% COMPATIBLE. MAKE JOKE ABOUT BEING NIBBLED TO DEATH BY CATS.
