Nothing is explosively combustible. Gunpowder is inert, oil is just a lubricant. No guns, no gasoline.

Nice try God, I'm not getting you out of this one.
Making the speed of light ~~infinite~~ one hundred times larger and the speed of sound the current speed of light. ~~No more blue/redshifting!~~ Faster communication!
Since the speed is infinite, the wavelength is always zero, no matter the frequency. But a wavelength of zero at infinite speed means an infinite number of waves hit the eye in any constant amount of time. Hence, and infinite amount of energy hits the eye at practically the same moment. But assuming your eye (and all of the universe) does not incinerate instantly, you will not be able to see the difference between red and blue, since they are perceived to have the same wavelength (zero). So yeah, technically you no longer have blue/redshifting.

The asteroid doesn't hit Earth in the late Cretaceous causing the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs.
Around the time the pyramid of Giza is built, actual Aliens build a slightly smaller pyramid in modern day Tunisia. No one cares and all conspiracies still center on the ancient egyptian ones.
There is a normal integer between 4 and 5 but sapient beings are completely incapable of percieving it.

Any public service over $1m revenue needs to offer a childfree version.
What do you mean? Do you have a couple examples?
Public transportation and libraries, for two.
I don't understand, my wife and I are childfree but I don't get you or the other commenter are getting at

I'd eliminate the Joestar bloodline.
Would you also reject your humanity?
No, I'd try to achieve heaven

Fell asleep thinking of a question similar last night. No colonialism. Colonizing other lands outside of your own established borders would be forbidden.
How different the world would be.
In that scenario, how do you get established borders in the first place?

What about going after the law of conservation of energy?😈
What if energy can be created, destroyed and conserved now? :)
Oh no the big bang deatroyed all energy.
Nothingness.
Lol, I wanted to break this law so that we can have infinite energy sources (fun stuff) and to be able to destroy ~useless energy (like thermal energy which is a byproduct of probably all energy conversions), thus reducing entropy and other fun stuff.

Yeah but in this place nothingness creates energy.. so like mini big bangs going off everywhere? Or we talking like zero point energy? Which opens up a bag of worms in our dimension where particles exist and don't so they're coming and going from somewhere, maybe this energy dimension lol.
Oxygen now stably bonds with three hydrogen atoms, not two. The new formula for water is H3O.
Good luck with any kind of life form that we would recognize as being alive evolving.
- Platinum is now as plentiful as nickel. I'll let astrophysicists figure out the side effects
- 2cm of solid wood completely blocks any sort of radiation.
- Complete eradication of STDs
Complete eradication of STDs
It's little ones like this that have such insidious implications.
Even without a evil genie rule... No stds.
Which means that sex has no touching
Or
Everything is super fucked up - bacteria/viruses/fungi can no longer transfer from creature to creature through touch... I don't have the knowledgebase to even imagine what the results of this would be but I think somewhat catastrophic....

Also wood would be dense as fuck. Damn.
No life can exist.
Cant lie
Ah the ol the invention of lying
Stupid thoughts become painful.
Unfortunately, you didn't get rid of masochism, so now they're stupid and cumming.
"It's not painful bro you just need to feel it for longer you'll get used to it. Ow.
Instead of leap days time just runs backwards to keep the calendar in sync.
