Making the mother of all power vacuums Jack, can’t fret over each billionaire!
Bring my family to safety, destroy every US or proxy owned oilfield, report to marshal kim jong un for further instructions
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.
Elon gets his dream of going to Mars. I’d put him in a cybertruck and chuck him in the general direction.
I’d sleep the two days, nobody would mess with me.
Lemmy has some good ideas.
Possibly a world tour of grabbing billionaires and far right politicians, Bibi, Putin, Trump, Le Pen, Musk, Murdoch and all the likes, showing them the messes and human suffering they helped creating and hurling them into space or something.
That’s a pretty good starting list. I don’t know that I’d waste time trying to show them anything; just go straight to disposal.
I, too, was thinking “murder.” It solves only a sort term problem though. Within a few years, you’d just have a new batch.
The system is broken. Capitalism as we practice it is broken; our political systems are broken (some more than others). That won’t be fixed by DXing a bunch of oligarchs.
Counterpoint: Superman is strong enough that he could raze the system to the ground.
He could certainly degrowth the planet. But, than, we’re well on the way to doing that ourselves.
You’ll need to make it very visible and very real to as many people as possible, and make it sound credible that “shit like this starts up again, and I’ll be back, be excellent to each other or else”
Remember those found-footage style videos that were going around a decade or so ago, where there was this mysterious figure in black who just appeared and was offing criminals in fairly graphic ways? There was speculation that it was a viral ad for some anti-hero superhero movie, but it never materialized.
That’s the way. Be mysterious. Be featureless. Don’t talk. Give them no way to track you after it wears off: appear, do, disappear. Repeat for 48 hours, then disappear.
I still think it wouldn’t last long. The temptations of power and wealth will override any fear; after year, it’ll be back to business as usual. 5 years later, it’d be mostly forgotten.
Now, if you could parse out 48 hours in 2 hour chunks over 12 years, with a couple of “examples” every year at random times, that might have a lasting effect. Do it 4 years in a row, give it a break for 2 or 3 years and let people think it night be over and strike again… that would probably have a more lasting effect. But I still think, at some point after your powers run out a decade or two at most and the shenanigans would start again. Humans believe what they want to believe, and what they’re best at deluding themselves and is “that can’t happen to me.”
I would grab Ceres and ram it into the Earth.
Saved the biggest flame for Australia. Or is it just bushfire season.
There are about ~3000 billionaires. Or a billionaire every minute.
I mean if you have all of Superman’s powers you could go one a second
With time to spare to have a wild time with Wonder Woman.
Does having superpowers fix my executive dysfunction? Cause if so then like, I dunno, clean my house, catch up on admin, do everything I’ve been unable to do
Vanquish evil. There’s quite the list at the moment.
Try to fly through these god damn rings
Some of y’all don’t understand the type of shit this guy’s on
I can hear this in my head. Snoop is amazing
not a single POW! ?
I would make the Fortune 500 a checklist.
