If I only could, I'd make a deal with God

Now you have the earworm as well.
Anyhow. If you could make a deal with God, what deal would it be? What would you change in the world? What single thing would you get God to make different?
Bear in mind the time travellers rules - you cannot control the effects of your change. So you might want to let Hitler die young, but that wouldn't stop someone else - someone worse - leading, and possibly pushing harder. Maybe developing nuclear weapons earlier.

The Alliance sinks all vessels approaching the western hemisphere so that all European sea pirates, explorers, slave traders, colonizers, entrepreneurs etc are all killed. They built large ships and conquer from the Western Hemisphere all of Europe. Christianity is not Roman nor Orthodox (those were destroyed and superseded), it is much closer to nature, there isn't capitalism, everything is based on cooperatives, agreements and collective decision making. Africa was never colonized either, nor China, India, other parts of Asia and the Pacific. Because the Europeans were stopped.
... they already do. No problem then.
Exactly. If there's no consideration, it isn't a deal, it's a boon.
Instead Asia expanded and spread a different culture across the world.
(Remember, you cannot define the consequences!)
Mmmm yes please.
Not defining, merely commenting. We'd all be eating with chopsticks and look upon people who ask for forks and knives as affected.
But we'd call them "steamed cabbage with miniature appearance"
In exchange, I would try harder to follow that.
That, enjoyed?
No. Enjoyed is not a word I'd use.
My memories include my parents and their friends dressed like these people doing stuff like this, without the Finish. Thankfully I was long out of home by then.
That every new batch of marking that arrives in my inbox would stimulate in me a feeling of excitement and joy at the wonderful insights I am about to encounter, a feeling which will continue to be present until I reach the end of the last essay. In return I will give my students feedback in a positive and constructive way which empowers my students to achieve their full potential.
Which is just about the prayer I say currently before leaping into the quagmire.
It's even funnier if you turn on the captions, in English, which I did, not having twigged the bloke was Finnish.🙄
My deal is that God helps me to achieve freedom from Pride, and that it works in the way I think it might, which means in return I become less of a dick. Win-win...
For example, a family who loses one young child to death should get a guarantee that any other children will outlive their parents with long, healthy lives for all. If you get in a serious car accident, you cannot also then get cancer. Just spread the tragedies around evenly so nobody gets too laden down.
When a person has reached their Tragedy Cap, it's smooth sailing for them and those they love until they eventually die painlessly in bed with a smile on their face at age 99.
