Humans don't evolve, we bring noting to the table of life and dont want to share.
That whatever species ends up dominating the earth with tools and technology branches out from bonobos instead.
Instead of leap days time just runs backwards to keep the calendar in sync.
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.

The asteroid doesn't hit Earth in the late Cretaceous causing the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs.
Every living creature is entitled to an equal portion of useful surface area of the earth proportional to their size and space requirements.
Not like that has anything to do with us possibly living out of a car next year if rent rises 30% again for the 3rd year running.
Fuck landlords hoarding property.
Is hard to pick one.
Altruism is the default instead of selfishness
Cancer doesn't exist
No harm could come to children. No one would have wicked thoughts towards them. They'd fully recover from any non-lethal injury. They could get sick.
no gravity.
Gravity doesn’t exist. All matter interactions are by electromagnetism and Ver Der Waals forces only.
Granted. Matter never collects in a way that would allow for life to be created.
Objective accomplished.

No more questions about “What would you do if you were suddenly given power over everybody else?”
All this what-if-you-were-god stuff is subconsciously programming us to lean in when given the opportunity to control others.
As AI, surveillance, and extended bureaucracy undermine the concept of “freedom” as an inherently good thing, there will be more and more opportunities to control other people.
Indulging in this kind of question — what would you force all people to do if you could? — is normalizing the actual usage of those systems as they come into existence.
AI is a good thing as long as it's open-source non-commercial used by normal people (not govcorp), nothing wrong with proompting some images in the same way there's nothing wrong with pirating some plugins and throwing a fun track in FL together or even a remix or forking a GitHub project and changing it etc etc. Corpos and/or closed source can fuck off though. Information wants to be free.
It's certainly not comparable to "extended bureaucracy" (read: regulations that protect people from predatory big tech corpos and far-right leaders of that industry like Musk) and surveillance, which you just kinda threw in there to fill out the buzzwords. Like that one is obviously a bad thing but has no rhyme or reason to be with the rest.
