Pretty much the title. I've been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.

I think it's easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?

that would be extremely time consuming, imagine traveling around the world with every major transport frozen

and imagine the time It would take to actually find everyone who needs a pocket granade

I think one of the necessary secondary support powers would be for time to flow normally for anything you touch.

Otherwise air would be frozen and you'd suffocate.

Also if air were frozen, it wouldn't flow to move out of your way so you'd be locked in place.

I feel like after a while, and maybe with a few notes left behind, it would begin to have a chilling effect.

How can you consume time if it is stopped?

[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Time is change. If you're not aging then you're not moving. Imagine destroying the universe by just stopping it.

Would it really be time consuming? Depends on the ruleset of thw world I suppose. Do you age in this time frozen state?

I think it can't work without the "things Im touching are exempt" rule.

If you can breathe and are not locked into your own clothes, you can surely use motor vehicles as well
