Wonβt be specific, but certain parts of Washington DC and Florida would be a crater.

I'll finish my house, clear out the old tree debris, and complete all the physical work I've planned for years to come.
Destroy all nukes, Luigi the system of money and power annnnnnnnnnd speed build a train system in the US.
Wipe the DC legislature off the map. Excepting aoc of course
Fly into space and reverse the Earthβs rotation. This way we travel back in time. I will the use my knowledge of the future to become like Lex Luthor.
Use your Lex Luthor wealth to eliminate inequality, right? insert padme face
you destroy earth.. spend the next 47 hours desperately trying to figure out how to actually time travel with your powers
I know the reference, but ever since they movie came out, we were all wondering how nonsensical it is
That's just something he can do. Earth's yellow sun gives him super powers, one of which is the ability to turn time backwards by reversing the spin of the Earth's rotation!
lets face it, turning back time makes all of his other powers unnecessary.
zod attacks? hi back to yesterday and tell louis to put some kryptonite in their exact landing site and let the local law police take care of them.
A volcano blows up a city, go a week in the past and tell them to evacuate...
I'm not a superman expert, but my understanding is that he only did that in one movie. If so, it is correct to say that it is canonically one of his powers, but that doesn't mean all versions of him have that power. If people talk about time traveling Superman they're talking about the one that can do that.
those movies had strange superpowers.
memory erasing kisses.
Expanding superman cellophane sign.
...
I thought that the earth rotated in reverse because from his perspective that is what time did, run in reverse?
My puny human mind cannot comprehend what happened because I'm not from Krypton.
No no, that is actually canonically one of Superman's powers.
yhea, that movie ending was strange
Let's just say you won't have to worry about billionaires and healthcare profiteers anymore
Heyyyy, I was going to say that!
Figure out if Iβd be more haunted by my actions as a temporary world superpower, and watching the status quo return very quickly afterward, or more haunted by all the things I could have done and didnβt. Sit pondering that for 48 hours.
Have to be honest here throwing right wingers into the sun I'll sleep well
I'd repair the bikes of people with broken bikes who need their bike fixed so they can get on their repaired bikes and cycle off on their bike.
Bike
If there was such a demihuman bike god, I would ride my bicycle more often. I just don't want to have to maintain it and waste time of my life again because some dumbass broke a beer bottle on the street.
Republicans would be in trouble, and so would certain evil leaders.
Hurl mar-a-lardo, NYC, and Delaware into the sun. After that probably break the hotdog eating world record.
Please don't throw one of the only cities in the country with a semi-functional public transit system into the sun :(
Get a little area where I would actually want to live.
Carve out mountains to channel water to more areas, basically accelerate what Egypt is doing to spread the green lush from the Nile River.
Make ideal spots for some cities, get a lot of gold out of the ground to prepare to buy the land
Pour all the foundations of the buildings, build lines of rails for public transit and trains. Make sewer system and areas to transport water
Just make it super easier for people to come and build/live there, and if I own it all I can avoid big corporations coming and pushing out growing businesses
Destroy every factory making glue traps, every fur farm, Palantir, NGO group and the like and maybe tunneling through K Street in DC at high speed
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
I would definitely start by sending every NATO leader, every NATO military person, and every unrepentant former NATO military person into the Sun.
