I'll be the god of atomic and subatomic bonds.

My first act as the new god will be to cause the bonds of all of the carbon dioxide atoms above a certain percentage in the atmosphere to separate into carbon and o2.

Black powder will rain from the sky and coat the earth.

Then I will dematerialize a very select portion of the population. I'll leave it to your imagination to determine exactly who that is, but I will clarify that it will only be people above a particular socioeconomic cutoff.

Then I will cause all of the plastics on the planet that currently inhabit living creatures to break apart Slowly enough that their metabolisms will be able to process the chemicals, followed by all known non-beneficial viruses and bacteria, followed by the dissolution of all microplastics on the planet, followed by the dissolution of all toxic wastes on the planet, followed by all invasive species on the planet.

Finally, I will cause excess body fat to be eliminated from the population, arteriosclerosis and cancer to break apart into carbon and water and whatnot, scars to fall off of the body, and all skin will become taut and youthful.

I'll then repair every human body on the planet to its genetically optimal self.

I will take prayers as far as what to do after that.

Intellect....why because at this moment I'm learning how to code in python and I wish I could know it all instead of melting my brain.

God of Contentment.

Bask in satisfaction and rejoice over a pleasant meal.

Technology

People worship their devices. Innovation is progress. One God with 100's of different religions screaming my way is better.

The show American God's had this, I really enjoyed that aspect.

Rattle drawers in her holy name!

Damned ladle is stuck!

Amen!

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago

First thing that came to mind. Which unfortunately came with a whiff of imagined cigarette smoke but what can ya do.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Smacking people over the head when they do something stupid and self-centered.

Either end of the scale sounds good.

Local god to a tiny shrine. I get a nice peaceful run of people asking for reasonable things that I don't have to help with then get to retire when it inevitably disappears.

God of everything. Get to play with a few variables like the gravitational constant and see capibaras in a few billion years because I finally found a combo that's just right. Oh, and really caring about how one species has sex so I can make them suffer eternally if they get any of my unwritten rules wrong /s

I'm going for the goddess of baked goods. People can leave pies, warm crusty bread and massive cakes for me. As I'm a God I can eat as much as I want and still be svelte

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 days ago

Goddess of nature: kind and loving to those who respect my domain, but vengeful to those who don't.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 days ago

It be the god of god's, I'll not waste my infinite time on the petty desires of mere mortals.

Sex and Drums and Rock and Roll. Because I miss Meatloaf...

That's the first thing that popped in my head too :)

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Time. I will control all else with it

I don't know who that is, but thank you for the heads up!

There's a video game called Hades 2 where she's the protagonist and the antagonist is Chronos.

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

god of beer.

i brew, so it would be great to have worshippers instead of consumers.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

The god of sex and drums and rock n roll

Sorry, meatloaf moment.

Mind you, being a god of sex and music would be awesome, but I'd pick god of healing instead.

It perfectly combines my desire to help people with having as close to perfect a worshipper base as a god can have. Whatever currency it is that gods get from worship, it's apparently very important to the essence of being a god. As such, one must ensure a steady supply of faith and worship. Ain't much that will gather a flock like healing miracles.

You know, except sex and drums. Who doesn't like sex and drums?

i would be a god-for-one-moment with my only purpose being to give each trans person the power to defend themselves and each other from human related harm then i could help and live and be okay too

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

God of War.

I dunno, being Nicholas Cage just seems kind of cool.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

I'll be God (or Goddess) of Visual Arts and Imagery.

I'd be messing around with AI results, ensuring they look terrible even for people with the least developed sense of taste if they're to be used commercially.

I'd also love to mess around with mortals, giving some of them boons and powers, but also punishing plagiarism and producers making mediocre movies just to keep an IP from expiring.

Phone cases. Because I'm obsessed with them

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

[–] Alice@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)
