The tilt.

Getting rid of all religionss, forcing people to think for themselves.

janbb's avatar

Restore the environment and reverse climate change

RayaHope's avatar

@rebbel would you make it more or less?

cookieman's avatar

Extreme financial inequity.

gondwanalon's avatar

Cold fusion

RayaHope's avatar

@gondwanalon I had to look that one up. Why would you change that?

Nomore_Tantrums's avatar

Everything. Since that isn’t possible, drop me off on the next habitable planet.

RayaHope's avatar

@Nomore_Tantrums sure thing…as soon as we find one ;)

I would start with helping responders in Q&A websites. I would change people’s assumption that not all questions are about the person who is posting an OP. It seems that it’s only when someone is asking about elet,s say, about being at the space station for a few months, that people don’t assume that the poster is about to going to be at the space station. people fail to see people search on google about their friends/family problems. Or they just saw an educational film and they want to know more etc. But some of the answers assume it’s a question that has to do with the person who posted the question.

@chefl I don’t mean to be rude but I don’t understand your answer. I read it several times and can’t make out what you are trying to say. Maybe it’s me since I do have a reading disorder so please don’t take this the wrong way.

I would eliminate scarcity.

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

Or that not possible than I would like to cure stupidity in teenagers.

RayaHope's avatar

@RedDeerGuy1 please don’t call me stupid. That really hurts my feelings a lot.

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

@RayaHope I did not mean you. I ment my grade school bullies.
Also I did a lot of stupid things as a child/teenager and young adult that I would like to not have done

RayaHope's avatar

@RedDeerGuy1 I thought since I posted the question that you were responding to me. I’m sorry for the mistake.

Food would be abundant for everyone.

Be cool if music played when it rained, like you see in Disney movies & shit.

Change the biology of humans. Give women 2, single use, uteruses, (uteri?) so the population will not increase but rather decrease over time.

@rebbel I like your tilt idea! I’d reduce the tilt from 23 degrees to 0. If you want to live in a cold climate, move north. If you like the tropics, move south. Very orderly. and simple.
Housing at each location would be built accordingly. Solar panels would be easy to aim. That would be efficient.
Let’s work on that .

gondwanalon's avatar

@RayaHope Cold fusion doesn’t work. If I could fix it so that is works then I would. Functional cold fusion would generate unlimited clean energy.

RayaHope's avatar

@LuckyGuy I think doing that to women would eventually doom the human race because so much could go wrong. Miscarriages and other problems could make the human population deplete so much we would be wiped out. Changing the tilt to 0 would create extremes in climate too far to make the Earth practically inhabitable for most life.

Under the ‘well anything’ heading I would give every human
the perfect singing voice.

janbb's avatar

@WhyNow Sounds like an ad for Coke!

WhyNow's avatar

^^ I am so busted.

RayaHope's avatar

@WhyNow now you’re singing my language:) Oh, I wish I could sing like so many pop artists can. At least I’m pretty good at shuffle dancing!

I would make it so there’s no such thing as climate change. Climate always remains the same. That way we can just battle out our political problems without worrying that the earth is going to kill us.

WhyNow's avatar

^^ ‘worrying that the earth is going to kill us.’ Space will also kill us and a bigger worry.
Asteroids, comets, pulses of radiation etc etc. Since we evolved during climate
we must evolve away from climate change.

Which I think brings us to a bigger question. Can we evolve away from the human
need to exterminate ourselves?

WhyNow's avatar

@RayaHope Very clever! I love shuffle dance, but this morning about 3am
I went dancing to house music. Got home a little after ten, still haven’t slept.

RayaHope's avatar

@WhyNow you better get some sleep you need a lot of energy for dancing;) I’ll keep dancing until you wake.

chefl's avatar

@RayaHope When responding to an OP, unless there ar e words like_ me… I my mine,my family, my friend etc_ don’t assume it’s about them, their x, y or z. That way the answer would be more helpful to more people.
I understand why my post above is confusing (the word not), etc.

Nomore_Tantrums's avatar

I’d like to buy the world some coke, and – uh, A Coke. Buy the world, A Coke. Cough….

WhyNow's avatar

I’d like to buy a vowel.

RayaHope's avatar

@Nomore_Tantrums @WhyNow LOL! you guys kill me! I’ll take a coffee and we’re all out of vowels so you have to solve the puzzle. When you do please let me know ;)

chefl's avatar

@RayaHope I’m already posting everything on the threads, not on PM.

chefl's avatar

If ever an OP want to clarify what the question is asking, or means to ask, isn’t the ideal place in the thread instead of on PM?

Pandora's avatar

@chefl It depends. The thread is used to place your answer. If no one other than the Op is confused about your answer or if you need to put in some personal reasons that you don’t want to share in the thread then PM would work better. Also, a person may want to PM you if they totally misunderstood what you are saying and are assuming the worst and wish to clarify it privately.

Get rid of violence,wars,and promote a peaceful enviornment where everone is at the same basic living wage and lives within their means.
Get rid of the need to keep having more consumer products,living lavishly while some in the world are living on meager earnings.
Even out the level of income so that everyone has the same amount and lives within their means.
No competition to look or act better than anyone else.
No cosmetics that age our youth far too soon because of products that drain the body of its youthful appearance naturally.
I can see in the future where everyone will live in highrises that rise 50 floors or more and NO one will own a Home as in the present.
Home ownership will disintrigrate as populations ballon to high porportions .

RayaHope's avatar

@Inspired_2write that is what I was trying to convey in another thread. “Where everyone is at the same basic living wage.”

Pandora's avatar

Just the one thing, huh! So many on my list. I would make it so its impossible for people to lie. I If I had those God-like powers.
The next best thing would be to have only smart, wise and empathetic women rule all over the world.

RayaHope's avatar

@Pandora OH YES!! How could this NOT be the BEST answer?!! I so love how you think! :)

Smashley's avatar

Replicators. As long as they’re like Star Trek and can’t make nukes or black holes and shit.

RayaHope's avatar

@Smashley you tired again?

Smashley's avatar

@RayaHope – nah, that’s how I talk.

LadyMarissa's avatar

What the world need now is love sweet love. It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of!!! What the world needs now is love sweet love. Not just for some, but for EVERYONE!!!

RayaHope's avatar

@LadyMarissa Oh, you are so right!!

chefl's avatar

@Pandora That may be so for some people. Some would rather have everything (regardless of the content), posted on the thread.

RayaHope's avatar

@chefl I totally agree with @Pandora BUT when dealing with you I can make an exception on your behalf. If you don’t like PM then I will converse with you in public. If you can promise to be as clear as possible I’ll try to do the same.
