Is there any set whose every subset is equal to the set itself? It seems like this isn't possible, but maybe something similar is possible.

In standard foundations (by which I mean ZF, or ZFC) the empty set works:
If $Ssubset emptyset$, then $S = emptyset$.
If you wish to do so otherwise, you’d violate the Axiom of Extensionality.
