I have no reason not to think I'm the only conscious being in the universe, which means I can do whatever I want without repercussions. What's something I should do to test out this theory?

Perhaps you could create a few simple rules that all sentient beings have to follow, and then set out to find sentient beings who will abide by them. If other beings demonstrate the capacity to understand and adhere to the rules, then you'll know your theory has validity. If no other beings are able to follow the rules, then you'll know that you are indeed the only conscious being in the universe.
