Everone would get the power to change size to ant-size.

Human kind would require much less living space and food.

Imagine 1 football field housing the whole population of the USA.

That would solve a lot of problems caused by the overpopulation of humans.
Human kind could keep on breeding on forever and ever.  

Why go for the 8000 million limit when we can go for a 8000000000 million record?

The more the merrier?

Nice answer there. Would be useful; it'd even help us get off of Earth and onto other worlds.

I change my answer to Superpower List Link*; it'd work in this reality, with the only effect being that NB comes true. If that's cheating, I'd go with Omnipotent Power Mimicry*.

Why are you all hoping for New Beginning?

Seriously... when you think about it...
If that would happen for real that would mean the end of the world. Garanteed.

It would be a horror to behold, for mortal men to grasp the furious powers of gods.

Which Is why I would probably try to find everyone else and make sure we stay away from anything breakable.

Like the universe.

Reddit had an attempt at this question.

They came up with some interesting answers.

Actually, Wonder_Drow's idea is ingenious. Though, to be honest, I think I'd go a step farther. Rather than just personal Size Shifting, I'd say Quantakinesis (within reason). More specifically, if such specification is allowed, I would allow random distribution of different parts of Quantakinesis. First order of business is, that the world population would shrink down to ant size (per Wonder_Drow's suggestion) to allow exponentially greater living space.

Then, along with job skills, people could be hired for jobs based on their Quantakinetic specialty.

Can you subtract (shrink) things? Great! Help bring cars and life appliances down to size, for greater small-life convenience.

Can you add (grow) things? Perfect! You'll always have work, if you can help grow food to the size of skyscrapers, and drinks to the size of lakes!

Can you multiply (replicate) things? Excellent! More supplies, and failsafe clones (in the event of untimely death) for everybody!

Can you divide (split) things? Wonderful! Demolition will be a breeze, and it'll be so much more convenient now to split up that gargantuan apple!

Not to mention, we can totally wipe out the problems of the dying rainforests and the melting icecaps, if they're all added and multiplied. Not to mention, the huge favors it would do to species approaching extinction. Plant and animal species would all be on the rise, if replicated, and left alone to their own devices.

 Well, actually, it'd be fine if only Superpower List Members were empowered by the New Beginning.

More specifically, it would be okay if:
1. If only current, active members of the forum got powers
2. If we only get powers that we have on the main site
3. If we promised to remain allied despite whatever differences we have, morally, ethically, religiously, politically, whatever. And deal swiftly and effectively with any breakers of said contract.
4. If we handled our newly-gained powers responsibly (which we would, if #3 is abided faithfully).

 In fact, that, too.

And what do you think of my Quantakinesis idea (based on Wonder_Drow's Size Shifting idea)?

 Well, they could always get smaller tattoos, with more intricate detail. In which, the wealthier people would rule, since they could afford something crazy for a tattoo, like a whole tapestry depicting the pantheon of Greek gods and Titans.

 If you were smart, you'd start off with a tattoo of a growth mechanism. Then, you could become giant size, and make room for more tattoos. Then depict a bag with two symbols: the dollar sign and the infinity symbol, to represent infinite money. Then, pay to depict the most powerful scenes from various pantheons, and more. Murals on top of murals. You'd be most powerful in no time. You could even keep a really small one allowing you (and ONLY you) to add, alter, delete or re-add tattoos at will.
