So no universe
Photons now have mass.
Silphium was recently rediscovered so it's no longer considered extinct just highly endangered.
Aside from that, I would make it so that instead of having mental illness you would have magical powers.
Schizophrenic? Nope you just talk to the Dead. Adhd? Nope, you're an elemental wizard. Bipolar? Nope, you're either a healer or a necromancer. Depressed? Nope, you're just low on mana. (Major depression means that you're suffering from a curse) Psychotic? Nope, you're suffering a mana storm Narcissistic? Nope, you are an illusionist. Autistic? Nope, you're an enchanter.

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.
In that scenario, how do you get established borders in the first place?

There should be at least 6 more ducks this time.
Positions of power are filled by people who are not interested in holding power.
Granted, the vast majority of people are illiterate, as there are no longer competent teachers, we never make it out of the stone age, as there are no competent organizers.

A necessary requirement for higher intelligence is proper, functioning empathy. If you lack this, you're just... Incapable of intelligent thought beyond that of a particularly stupid dog

I'd increase the speed of light.
What difference would that make
I guess that would mean we can travel faster between planets. Communication would be much faster also.

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.

CO2 doesn't cause extra global warming above 300ppm
Same here
No suffering, no dis-pleasurable state, no undesirable reality exists. Everything that is, is deemed good by all beings that can judge it (if any). This has, as a consequence, no moral dilemmas, no conflict of wills and interests, no tragedies, etc.
Water freezes from the bottom up instead of top down.
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.

No more Pauli exclusion principle. I'm not smart enough to describe what that world would look like... which is exactly why I would do it.

Humans are peacefully with each other and only wage war against aliens or animals threatening to kill them.

Remove every soul that would ever become a parasite 1%, or a Wiccan. Both rotten to the core.

Nothing is explosively combustible. Gunpowder is inert, oil is just a lubricant. No guns, no gasoline.
No… stars?
The stars are using fusion, not combustion though, right?
Isn't fusion how we get bombs? Or is that Fission... I forget.
We don't have fusion yet. Once we do, it should solve a lot of energy demands.
Nah we definitely have fusion, just not for anything other than bombs.
Fun fact: to set off a fusion reaction, hydrogen bombs actually have a smaller fission bomb inside it. Sometimes multiples of fission-fusion reactions all stacked inside of eachother like nesting dolls.
