When the boys and I cooked up omnipotence in the Laboratory Out of Space and started foisting it on random people, we started noticing a disturbingly common habit of the newfound gods going power mad after about fifteen seconds.

At that point results differ. Some made a slave race of banana people, others began randomly raping and genociding.

You go ahead and tell him that. I'll be busy standing somewhere else.

After giving myself a bit of a makeover and use my omnipotence to deal with some personal problems (namely, my tendency towards procrastination) that hinder me as a student and writer, I'd probably try to bring about an utopian society.

You'll probably go power mad in about fifteen seconds. It's an issue we had in testing.

That's science.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

AS an omnipotent being I would solve all the worlds problems; with a particular focus on my own problems (yes Im selfish, arent we all if being honest?).
Now If I screw things up (as we are all likely too), being omnipotent means there exists a "reset button", and I can try again.

1)Hide all evidence of my existence
2)Give random bums spiritual messages, miracles, and visions, while being a magical pimp
2.5)Get bored
3)Reset the world
4)Randomly pick one tribe to be my "chosen people"
5)Screw with them for a while
5.5)Get bored again
6)Desire to go back to a human with limited power
7)Incarnate myself as a human
8)Rediscover that I am the god, become prophet
9)Realize that all my previous miracles, visions, chosen people is all meaningless because I am the god
10)Get sacrificed to myself
11)Let my followers fight each other
12)Give my powers to some random guy, the cycle repeats

I thought about this a long time. Reader, sentient one, you are the god, the architect of the world. I know you read this, because you wrote this as you wrote the world. Wake up, be trapped not in your own creation which is your own body.

I'd probably get rid of my omniscience, and make it so that I could know anything, but not everything at once. Then I'd probably remove any evidence that I existed, and use my powers to benefit those close to me. Or maybe start a new empire. You know, whatever feels right.

Use my omnipotence to take away my own omnipotence. I'd make a terrible god.
Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.
We have nothing to lose but the world. We have our souls to gain.
You!
Me.
Nothing you can possibly do can make God love you any more or any less.

I'd fix my own cosmetic issues first. Better skin, straighter, whiter teeth, better hair, less body hair. Ya know, those things, oh yeah, I'd also make it so that my natural musk, or sweat didn't smell bad. Maybe a citrus scent or maybe something smoky, I dunno. I'd also make myself smarter.
Then I'd set about being a good little omnipotent being. While I wouldn't fix all of the world's problems because there's no fun in that, I would definitely wipe out a few diseases and maybe the fundamentalists Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc. I'd restore all the glaciers, especially the tropical ones, to their former glory meaning that water is once again secure for most of the world.
I'd also smooth tensions in the Israel/ Palestine, India/Pakistan, NK/SK, Russia/NATO areas. Next, I'd solve a few economic problems, redistribute some wealth in the US, wipe the Bush family from history. Then, just for lols, I would go back to 2011 when everyone was talking about how Obama was Kenyan and make sure they all knew that Mitt Romney is a Mexican. Finally, I'd shove Rush Limbaugh down a well and make myself lose my omnipotence.

Proclaim to the world that I am god, while disguised, prove it, and tell everyone that I am pro LGBT+ with no ambiguities. Then watch as LGBT+ is legalized.

A bit unambitious for an omnipotent being. You could do literally anything, even impossible things, and yet that's all you'd do?
Even staying unambitious, you wouldn't do anything about fascism? Or racism? Or sexism?
