Suppose Alice is now omniscient and/or omnipotent. What would Alice do and what would she feel like?

A little elaboration so we can skip beginner-level low-thought posts. First off, please avoid relying on a dictionary definition, because dictionaries are written by people who have little clue about mostly everything. In fact don't bring in definitions at all; intelligent minds can avoid those.

Let's also establish that omnipotence is the thing, it beats rock, it beats paper and it beats scissors. Omnipotence can do anything. It doesn't have to make sense, but sense has to make whatever it says. If there is a paradox it only shows a lack of understanding on your or your model's part. Axioms, laws of physics, causality, Newton's flaming laser sword, the Sun rising tomorrow… these things all dance when omnipotence says so. Nonexistent omnipotence can do anything it wishes with the existence-nonexistence dichotomy. It doesn't have to rely or rest on anything, and it cannot be compelled not to either.

Let's also talk a little about omniscience. It means knowing everything. That everything includes all the "rendered out raw data" plus any and all abstractions that is or isn't over it. This includes all the fake/parallel/didn't happen stuff as those are obviously included in everything. Omniscient beings do not need intelligence, they do not need to think and they do not need to make choices. They already know what choices they will make, they know how long it will take for them to answer any question they are ever asked and what their reply will be.

Lastly, something that often puzzles people:
An omniscient being always knows what an omnipotent being will do, otherwise they wouldn't be omniscient. An omnipotent being is able to fool an omniscient being and do something else, as it is omnipotent. It could, but it won't. It doesn't have to demonstrate that it can to you or anyone else. Just ask the omniscient being if you think otherwise.

So, with all this in mind, how would would Alice do and feel like if she was omniscient, omnipotent, or both?

FFS if you have a 2.75MB filesize limit at least say it somewhere. Besides that, make the error message reflect the error and not just say "You must upload an image". (Oh and feel free to make your own commits to your board software, or just copy from lainchan)
