I'm tired of our normie planet
How would someone feasibly create an artificial orbital ring that doesn't periodically demolish cities with craters?

we already HAVE artificial orbital rings.
blow up an asteroid in orbit and hope it doesn't recoalesse.

Use lots of tiny particles such as quartz sand. Or dry ice that will sublimate before reaching the ground.
Demolishing cities isn't the biggest problem, destroying satellites in orbit will be a huge problem.
One Rube Goldberg grade solution is to put huge numbers of absolutely gigantic space mirrors in high orbit, above geostationary orbit. It will be a nice view but you will have to say goodbye to night time darkness.

We would need to launch a shit-ton of random things into orbit.
Just set up something to turn an iron rich near Earth asteroid into cable and keep spooling it out until the end makes it round the planet and comes back to you.
For bonus points, get it moving a bit faster than orbital velocity and hang stuff off of it to make yourself a space elevator that doesn't need cables made of carbon nanotubes.

Our planet is about as unnormie as it gets, senpai.

not really
moderate as fuck
I would also like a sub moon and another moon that is close enough that it zooms across the sky from west to east.
