Since the entire would would go dark. I’d probably sit around in darkness and wait for time to start again.
Remove as many nazis and nazi sympathizers as I can, probably.
So you will arbitrarily choose to do "justice" yourself? Yea nah, I’ll pass on that
Sleep.
Sleep or study or both.
Visit trumps campaign office and adjust the campaign speech at “Four Seasons” to actually be at “Four Seasons Landscaping”
Nothing.
My cat is asleep on my lap. I am now trapped for all eternity.
Is air stopped as well because you very quickly cook to death
Would there be enough friction to cause that? I'd assume you wouldn't be able to breath first, since the air wouldn't go into your lungs
I mean, if time is stopped then everything would technically have an infinite amount of inertia.
Hum, I'd assume time stop would actually be better as super speed then. Almost close to light speed, enough to make things seem frozen.
No air would mean no way for your body to cool. You would cook yourself to death
Breathing is another problem
Although that would also mean no radiant heat would be transferred to you from the environment. Would you freeze or cook if the only source of heat around is your body heat?
Would I be blind since the photons won't be flowing into my eyes anymore??
You become a photon. It's the only way to answer the conditions.
Or would you see the photons that are present where your eyes are at the moment, and by moving around you see the photons that already were where you just moved, still approximating normal vision?
Only if you stand still? Would you be able to sweep photons by moving around? Would you leave dark trails behind you as you move around?
Release the Epstein files, and since they won't need it anymore, transfer Trumps and Elons Cash to me; afterwards start a looooooong list of cash transfers to everyone NOT in the Epstein files. I hope i don't age while time is stopped, because that might take a while. While i'm at it, go down the list of Top 100 richest people and fucking do it again. Keep a respectable sum for myself, but only in the "me and the closest to me will never have to worry about money again"-region, not more.
Steal Denuvo's encryption keys.
Defenestrate Putin (and Medvedev just to make sure the war ends), then pull the same move in Israel. Personally slap every Russian and IDF soldier who willingly went into war.
Destroy all the North Korean artillery and rockets aimed at Seoul and place notes in front of SK politicians informing them about the new situation.
Dismantle the surveillance networks - all of them. Let every Citizen know how much information their state had about them - except for Cartel/Mobster types, those i put on skateboards like cardboard cutouts and let them ride down a steep hill into prison gates.
Do i still have time left?
Dude, time is stopped. You can keep going until you want time to start again. And I've got a list for you:
- Every single kiddy diddler? Suddenly in prison, with piles of evidence of their crimes.
- You can solve every missing persons report where anyone is still alive. It'll take you a while, but you've got the "time."
- Every bribe of every politician - and especially justices of the Supreme Court - exposed with thorough documentation.
- Go around and erase all medical debt and all student debt. All of it. Use some of Elon's money to do it.
- Find and reunite families that were split up by Trump's family separation policies.
- Cut Russia off from the internet entirely. They've demonstrated that they're not ready to join the broader civilized community. Pay special attention to permanently offlining the "Internet Research Agency."
I'm sure I could come up with more.
Shoot every single nuke to space and detonate all nukes in space.
Wow. I was just going to snoop around people's houses...
The moment the Ukraine war ends, Russia and eastern Europe will see an extreme wave of violent crime that will keep going for years.
The moment the Russian soldiers come back to Russia and discover the inflation is way worse, lack of jobs since the economy has transformed into a war economy, and more crap.
The only income will be crime.
Have fun.
The russian mafia is nothing new, and to be honest, that scenario is still better than what we have now. at least they just try to survive then.

Suffocate or get immolated trying to move from the friction of the now solid air mass.

No idea. But did you hear about the thousands of neonazis who all died at exactly the same time? Crazy stuff...
That is unironically a really cool premise for a sci-fi noir mystery novel. A detective has to figure out how multiple people in different parts of the world are all killed in exactly the same moment.

Was a tv show back in the day where a girl had powers to touch her fingertips and pause time. Always wanted that power to sleep longer, do large projects without interruption, etc. I think it was called Out of this World, her dad was an alien and they communicated through some weird walky talkie sphere thing.
Fun show. Remember it fondly.
Take a fuckin' nap, and then a week to myself
boobs
for legal reasons and to avoid the community burning me at the stake I will provide no further context.
For further context, see the movie Cashback.
2006?
That's the one.
I also boobs.
.
Additionally, I also for legal reasons & to avoid being banished by all communities, will provide no further context.
Reminds me of a little fantasy I had as a kid. But with dicks.
I choose to believe that you will run around flashing people. Wouldn't that be embarassing if time suddenly starts running again!
Your honesty is respectable.

Immediately panic. Why did it stop? How do I start it? Am I still aging? Can I still die?
Fuck FuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuck
Lol probably freeze to death. Photons stop moving, molecules stop vibrating. Electronic devices probably don't function/respond. So I could sleep (forever), no video games/tv/movies. Time travel trips me up; like I could walk around, but would time stopping fuck with the cohesion of matter/reality etc? Think you need a few more preconditions for this poll.

Quickly get into every missile silo and jerry-rig a way to remote control them, move all the personnel out of the silos, lock access, set up cameras in all of them, then find a way to resume time. Once time resumes, announce that I have control over all the nukes, launch a high-atmosphere blast near DC, Moscow, Beijing, London, Paris, to prove it, become a global dictator.
A benevolent dictator, of course. (pinky promise 😉 just trust me bro 😈)
better have a dead man switch on that or you're going to have every intelligence service on the planet gunning for you before you can get a lot of dictatoring done.
Your high altitude warning shots would wreck civilization. Read up on the starfish prime tests.
I got a house full of books, notebooks to write my partners notes, and sleep. If it seems to last more than I don't know, a month? Probably walk to an Ocean, then see if one can walk or drive across one. Try and figure out why time seems stopped.
