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.

Sleep or study or both.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 hours ago

Finally. Sleep.

Visit trumps campaign office and adjust the campaign speech at “Four Seasons” to actually be at “Four Seasons Landscaping”

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] Cabbage_Pout61@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] Cabbage_Pout61@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

[-] HuskerNation@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 hours ago

No air would mean no way for your body to cool. You would cook yourself to death

Breathing is another problem

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

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?

[-] Chivera@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

Would I be blind since the photons won't be flowing into my eyes anymore??

[-] minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

You become a photon. It's the only way to answer the conditions.

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 16 hours ago

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?

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.

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

Fun show. Remember it fondly.

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago

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

[-] python@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

First, I take a long rest. Then, I might nap a bit.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 5 points 23 hours ago

This is the way.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 83 points 1 day ago

No idea. But did you hear about the thousands of neonazis who all died at exactly the same time? Crazy stuff...

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago

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.

Take a fuckin' nap, and then a week to myself

[-] Raglesnarf@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago

boobs

for legal reasons and to avoid the community burning me at the stake I will provide no further context.

[-] spykee@lemmings.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I also boobs.
.
Additionally, I also for legal reasons & to avoid being banished by all communities, will provide no further context.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Your honesty is respectable.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 24 points 1 day ago

I choose to believe that you will run around flashing people. Wouldn't that be embarassing if time suddenly starts running again!

Immediately panic. Why did it stop? How do I start it? Am I still aging? Can I still die?

Fuck FuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuck

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago

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 😈)

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] traches@sh.itjust.works 8 points 22 hours ago

Your high altitude warning shots would wreck civilization. Read up on the starfish prime tests.

[-] killea@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Possibly arrange for some billionaires to meet their demise.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 15 hours ago

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.

[-] Throskie@midwest.social 1 points 15 hours ago

I'd finish hate-reading The Fermata

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago
[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 23 hours ago

Inherently!

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 16 hours ago

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.

[-] Goldholz 5 points 22 hours ago

Lots and lots of reading and learning. Especially languages

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Is time going to restart? Otherwise the languages seem pointless.

[-] Goldholz 4 points 19 hours ago

Languages unlock not just more knowledge but also ways of thinking
