Infinity Gauntlet: What Would You Do With It?

On top of the space related things…I might snap crime victims back to life…rebuild disaster stricken areas…I like to think I would be responsible with it.
 
A turkey sandwich, on rye bread, with mustard, and I don't want any zombie turkeys, I don't want to turn into a turkey myself or any other weird surprises.
 
I'd also use the Gauntlet to eliminate all of those ambulance chasing piece of shit law firms who won't shut the fuck up about Camp Lejeune (they don't give a crap about the victims, they just want money), AND anyone convicted of having anything to do with "Medicare Advantage" ads.

If you had all the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, what would you use it for?

I think I’d create a new world. I’d fill it with people who can worship me. I’d give them scripture full of fantastic stories. When they die, I’d send the believers to Paradise, and the nonbelievers to a lake of fire and brimstone where they’d be tortured for all eternity.

What do you think, would that be a good way to use it?
I make myself omnipotent, and then destroy the gauntlet and the stones. From there, I can bend everything to my will, mwwwwahaha!
 
My wish to make people empathetic wouldn’t take away their selfishness though. It’d leave the selfishness intact, just make people feel bad when something they’re doing is causing suffering.

So I don’t see it as fundamentally changing human nature. Just hacking human nature to eliminate sociopathy and make people apply the same emotional standards to everyone they would apply to their own tribe. And give everyone the skills to resist the kind of propaganda to “Otherize” anyone.

The human experience would fundamentally stay the same, except at the extremes.
