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.
Is there a time limit?
Inherently!
One could arrange a lot of pranks with a time freeze...
Lots and lots of reading and learning. Especially languages
Is time going to restart? Otherwise the languages seem pointless.
Languages unlock not just more knowledge but also ways of thinking
Do I retain my inertial momentum? If so, I immediately slam into the ground or shoot up into the sky, turning into a fine mist or burning up instantly, or both.
If the planet (and the universe) stop moving, but I don't, I'm dead, haha.
Similarly if we say that I don't retain that momentum, what happens to my ability to see? Light is no longer travelling, so I'll be mostly blind? Will I be able to move through the air, given that I'll be pushing on time-frozen air molecules? If I can move them by exerting force, are they sufficiently sparse that they have somewhere to move that doesn't require pushing even more frozen air, to the point that moving becomes very difficult?
Will air that I've moved continue to move after I breathe it out, or will it go back to being frozen in time, such that I can't sleep or stay in the same spot for long, because I will build up an unmoving cloud of CO2 around my face and die?
What other ways can you think of that would make pausing time this way suck or kill you? :-D
Panic
That's why you always carry a towel
How else to achieve the status of hoopy frood
Why? You have plenty of time to work things out
Intimidate a French man by moving him back to his original postion on the stairs while I pose dramatically. /ref
While talking about how great I am with my STANDO POWA
Look at the movie cashback
Disrobe a bunch of women?
Disrobe a bunch of women then get really good at figure drawing
No, I think they're just going to watch it a bunch of times.
Suffocate probably
Shit myself but that's my answer for most things
Depends on what time of the day/night it is and where I am. I imagine if I am at home, sleep or play computer games. If I am at work I am screwed... Fighting to drive home if other cars are stuck in time would not be fun. Would have to borrow a motorcycle or a slim form of transportation to get home. Or just bunker down at a local restaurant (that has alcohol) until time resumes. Doesn't sound like an ideal situationat all unless I am at home or can get there easily.
Try to fix it since I don't seem to have initiated it or know if it will ever end. It gets kinda wierd as so I can interact and move things? But if I play a tape or video it won't play yeah? Its a pretty fucked situation.
I'd finish hate-reading The Fermata
Die from asphyxiation, presumably.
I don't know, depends on where I find myself in at the moment. One thing I know for sure, the first few hours would be to nose around.
Apparently, set all of reality on fire simply by existing in a state of singular hyper-agitation.
Thanks, universe. 🖕🏻
Steal a bunch of weed and freezers to store the weed
Nah, you don't want to freeze it. Just get some airtight containers.
That’ll make the heist a bit easier on me
Do a little bit of stress testing then go to bed
Depending on how long, I can think of a bunch of people across the globe that could use an acid bath.
Have fun for like an hour then go crazy and interact with frozen people like Will Smith to the mannequins in I Am Legend
