The ability to stop time and still interact with the world. Do you know how many books I have on my TBR?

Wouldn't you still age if you're operating outside of stopped time? People are going to think that you're suddenly aging rapidly.

Please don’t poke holes into my fantasy.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Haha! Fair enough. It's your fantasy, so you determine the physics of it.

I wouldn't care. I'd walk out into the world to go see stuff and maybe change some things. I wouldn't stay still or build a life with those powers.

Otherwise, you could look at Howard families by Heinlein for the solution. Which is also to move before people notice, but staying put for periods of time at a time.

Time stop can also be used for bad things like r**e and murder

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

I mean, it can? Feel like most super powers can be used for bad things. That's where all of the good guys get bad guys to fight.

With great power must come great responsibility
