Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Save the snap. Use it as leverage to shape the future by threatening tyrants into standing down, for I have no idea what might happen absent of a historical event happening.
Now. Who to start with? Bibi? Putin? MBS? Closer to home?
You do realize they're going to ask you for a demonstration of your power before they'll ever kowtow
They don't have to know you can only do it once.
Right. If it's not a proven power (as though aliens or a god gave you this power in view of everyone), then you can simply come to these dictators and warn them not to test your power. Similar to Pascal's Wager, they would be wise to consider. Though you may be bluffing, of course. Then you use it. Then since nobody else knows you can't repeat it, one public demonstration would be enough to convince future tyrants.
I think you would rapidly be defenestrated.
