    I would create my own Groundhog Day set up. Start learning task A. After 47 hours, fly around the earth to rewind time. Learn for another 47 hours. Repeat process. Learn infinity tasks and become a master at everything. On the last loop win the heart of Andie MacDowell.

      The fuck you would. Not much is stopping you from doing that now, just in a longer timeframe.

      You’d be sat here with me and everyone else scrolling your phone for hours, before thinking “Oh yeah I was gonna do that thing…can’t be arsed now”.

        If only I had a way to support myself for the next 60 years while I did this, and still be young enough to enjoy it when I’m done.

        Maybe the timeframe matters.

    Won’t be specific, but certain parts of Washington DC and Florida would be a crater.

    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

    Stop wars non violently by disarming all parties involved. I know, they’ll arm up again after the 48 hours but all I need to do to protect myself is get a haircut and fake glasses.

    Not sure if that’s fast enough, but I would try to visit all the planets in our solar system. And then head out to see what’s in the Oort cloud.

        In the OG movies he goes so fast that he goes faster than light and turns back time. At least I think that was the idea. So yeah, he could do FTL travel. Given that he accelerated to that point in about a minute, it’s probably doable all within an hour.

          Considering it takes around 8 minutes for the sunlight to reach us, I think even a fraction of the speed of light would be enough.

          • No. The inner edge of the Oort Cloud is 10 light days away. The outer edge of 100 ld away.

            The math looks like:

            • 1 AU is the distance from the Sun to Earth.
            • The Earth is 8 light minutes from Sol
            • The inner edge of the Oort Cloud is (minimum) 2,000 AU ≈ 16,000 light-minutes, or 11 day light days.
            • The outer edge is about 100,000 AU away; that’s about a year and a half to get from the inner edge to the outer edge, traveling at the speed of light.

            The Oort Cloud is not only mind bogglingly far away, it’s about 50x deeper than it is away from the sun.

            Those are minimum estimates; some estimates have the inner cloud edge 28 AU away.

            The original Superman wasn’t a god, but it got hyperbolic over the years with one-upmanship until he was indistinguishable from a god. Canonically, beings regularly travel between star systems, so FTL is not uncommon in the DC universe. Heck, in Invincible (not DC), even relatively low-power beings travel FTL all over, all the time. Spacetime doesn’t work the same in comics. So, Superman can travel FTL, and the Oort Cloud would be reachable. But he’d have to travel at least 20x the speed of light to get to the Cloud and back in a day, and thousands of times faster if he wants to explore it at all, or see the outer edge.

    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.
