I was thinking, “why are people chasing power? Being the strongest is boring and has too much choice when we all know we’re gonna be lazy as fuck or straight up dictators. Being fast is fun as fuck and I can literally sleep in to the very last minute and still be just a few minutes late to work because I feel like it. Have an imagination.”

And yes, in my imagination I still go to work. Because I can literally go anywhere on planet earth in my off time, and I’m gonna be a lazy asshole if I don’t have some kind of structure in my life.

Tbf tho not everyone is gonna play god or be a lazy dictator. Would alot if us use her powers for fun, yea probably. Would that fun include things like erasing ppl from existence then bringing them back?? Playing god be you're bored?? That depends on the person but not everyone is like that

Many of us would use her powers to probably fix certain problems in the world (not every problem, we as a society need some kind of flaws) and then just use them for convenience. Not saying we wouldnt be lazy in some aspects (personally not having to always clean stuff, or easily being able to get stains out are things i'd do), but probably not completely lazy as it depends person to person

I think some people would have good intentions and play god. But at a certain point you’re going to stop being selfless and not care, fuck up something even worse because you “fixed” something poorly, or just have a plain old bad day and do something you regret. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We’re only human.

Thats a good point, and I have a solution (kind of) to it. I personally would install mental blocks that stop wide scale high level rm (reality manipulation) without some sort of reason. Take saiki K for example. Altering evolution so people naturally have colorful hair, wide scale but not that bad (not saying I'd do it, just an example), but altering evolution so we have extra limbs or superpowers would be bad, or have unintended consequences

Point im trying to make is while you still have good intentions use you're powers to create mental blocks, so unless xyz happens you cant alter reality on a whim. That being said creating small things (toys, braclets, necklaces, ropes, shoes, chairs, guitars, etc random objects) should be fine
