So I saw this question on... well, a place that shouldn't be mentioned here *cough cough*/b/*cough*, but "that place" being "that place", the answers it got were for the most part pretty much what you would expect. Vulgar and uncreative. So I figured I'd pose the same question to you Dollars and hope for more intellectual responses.

If you could freeze and unfreeze time, what would you do?
To be clear, here are the rules to the power:
>When you use it, time stops for everything except you, your clothes, and other things that would hinder you from functioning normally.
>While time is stopped, you do not age.
>Gravity stops too, aside from the gravity affecting you. If you pick up an object and let go, it will stay in place, and gravity will take effect once time restarts.

So, Dollars, what would you do with this power? Hoping for some interesting answers.

First of all. I'd go blind and deaf from the fact that all light has stopped moving and all sound has stopped being transmitted since there is now no movement in the air. In my extreme panic, I roll around on the floor, choking as I realise that I can't actually breath as well.

Then I die.

Stopping time is actually impossible, but slowing our perception of time is a more likely possibility.

>>2 one of the conditions was everything is stopped except for things that would prevent you from functioning regularly. I think the best way to describe this would be, everything, except for you, is put into "pause." that being said, what would i do? i would become supreme ruler of the world. now if i could allow others to be exempt from the pause state, i would give scientists all the time in toe world to work on projects that could send humanity skyrocketing into advancing our ways of living (i.g. the new space program, cancer research, the perfect smoothie.) from there i would proceed to build a giant maze on an island somewhere and put a sack of flour in the middle, then make a bunch of people race to get to the flour. Why? Because i fucking can.

>>4 I was going to tell 2 how funny their post was. But you win. Feel good about that. Also please don't put me in the flour maze.

If I was able to hold on to somebody and let them be unsuspended as I am, then I would confess my love to them, with nobody else around us. Then I would just spend time with them. We could do anything. Go anywhere. It would be great.

OP here. (I'm just using a different device, so my ID's different.) I would like to say this:
>>4 This guy gets it.

And to >>2 and >>3, I guess I should've been clearer. You can live and survive as you normally would. I guess the best way to put it would be that it pauses everything except you and certain things you interact with that are essential for sustaining your life. And as for the agelessness during the time freeze... meh, that has no good explanation.
Yes, I know this idea defies physics in more ways than I can count. That's why it's an "IF you could" type of thing. So what would you do with this logic-defying power?

Elpoepepar.

But seriously, go to near (close enough to shoot a rifle) the president, pull my rifle's trigger, unfreeze then refreeze time as fast as possible, go home, then start time. Tune into the news and see the awesome panic I have created.

This is only in effect as long as Ovomit is president.

With this power, you can basically teleport. I mean, you sense the time, but it doesn't have an effect on your body, and no one else is aware, so in essence you're basically jumping from place to place in a matter of nano seconds. Assuming that you can re-position objects and people too with out them being aware, I think I'd like to use it to help people get home. Not on a daily basis, but in situations where people have been gone for a long time. They could come home in seconds, spend a few hours with the people they love, and then in a few more seconds they'd be back doing whatever it is they have to do. I don't know, I just think that's the best thing I could do... It was the first idea that came to mind at any rate.

I would spend my new found immortality in trying to make a dragon's genectic code and then create a machine to let the dragon live. Afterwards i'll enjoy everything else, like cheating in school, stare at the cute girls for a loooooooooooong time, and live my mark in the white house and and and and and and idk soooooooo many possibilties. I woudnt miss any anime convention. I will have whatever i whant. And then... I SHALL PUNISH THE EVIL AND UNLEASH MY JUDGEMENT, I'LL BE THE GOD OF A NEW WORLD x) just kidding

I think this is a sweet question. What would I do? At the moment, I would freeze time to get some sleep. A lot of it. Then, I'd wake up and do all my homework for college because I NEVER have time to finish it, no matter how much I struggle. And I would do this every freaking time I feel so. But this is what I would do at present. At another time? Well... that's a tough one. But it would definitely be something to help my family and dear ones without breaking the law, I'm not that type of person. And btw, I would never tell anyone of this power, it would bring chaos in the world.

15 Name: <Coal> : 2013-03-05 09:53 ID:CPNLfEWA [Del]

Hmm, make a human house of cards then press Play, & finish all my games (if technology works?). Can we only Pause/Play time or can we Rewind too? Maybe become a robin hood type of villain..

Honestly something touching, but since im a sarcastic jerk

i would kidnap like 40 people then steal food and whatnot to feed them, then start time and wait a week while maintaining the kidnapped in luxury with time stop stolen money and food, then id "find them all" and claim to have stopped the kidnappers single handedly, then id be a hero and probably rich cause i stole shit tons of money by this point.
