If You Had a Stopwatch That Could Stop and Start Time, What Would You Do?

Depends on how machines & electronics work. Would you have running water? Could you flush the toilet after you shit?

I'd try and travel. Freeze time and hop on a flight that's not full for free. If cameras don't work I'd probably steal stuff like TVs and games, rather than try to rob a bank or steal expensive stuff to sell.
 
What the deal with rape and stealing shit?


Hello!!! You can stop time!!! Why steal when you can go into a casino and use your watch at a roulette table or black jack?

Also if you see this watch as your ticket to rape someone with no one finding out you must really suck at life and at being a person.

What would I use this power for?

North Korea regime would be gone.

Isis and other extremist groups would all end up dead.

If I come across a rape in progress the rapist would end up fucked up beyond belief.

I would figure out how to make the powers of the watch a permanent part of me and test the limits of what it can do.

I would also figure out a legit way to use the watch to make me some money to live off of.

Yeah the rape comments are... bizarre.

Really fucked up you'd think that, and then you must be clueless to share that thought here.

Save the people.

Then again, I seen that episode and the remake and the Simpsons spoof to tell me it won't end well.

Lighten up. Given the ridiculous premise of the thread, these responses were inevitable.
 
First two thoughts that came to mind:

- Pants everyone in a large area and see the reaction.

- Explore places I would never get a chance to otherwise (White House, Area 51, NASA, etc).

No. Fuck off. If your (royal "your") mind goes to "Gee, this would be a great way to rape people!" and you think it's acceptable enough and relatable enough to post here, you are fucked up and stupid to boot.

And you (specifically you) hand waving it says a lot about you.
 
Probably figure out how to keep it for eternity. Otherwise..... Borrow some money from Rich pricks or use their information to give me money or buy me some stupid inane stuff.

I like some people's idea of putting alot of people in a random area, and to see their reactions when they come to lol.
 
Cheat at blackjack at various establishments and make off with a large fortune over a period of time. Invest it into the stock market/index funds and rake in more money from interest.

I would manipulate the Mega Millions and Powerball balls (are they still balls) in order to win quick "legitimate" money. I'd do it once for each them I'd be some sensation as the luckiest man alive.
 
I will give this one tiny... not defense... of some of the gross comments, "time stop" porn is a pretty prevalent fantasy genre in Japan, both live action and in comics. When you're just talking about vague, silly concepts like "what if you could stop time", people may not be thinking outside of those fantasy terms. Faced with the reality of, "Oh, right, this is an actual person with feelings and emotions", I would assume, hope, that most of the people suggesting it here wouldn't actually do it.


The casino ones are funny, because the moment you started winning any serious money, they'd put their foot down. Use time stop to escape? They've figured out who you are, have fun dodging thugs for years after. Can you stop time when you don't see the bat to your head? They've figured out you can stop time? Better believe they're going to find a way to make you do it for their benefit.

I guess it just means you're meant to have superpowers and I'm not.
 
I got it. I'd do the same stuff those cartoon characters do on tv. You know, pulling out random objects from nowhere to complete a joke or pun.

I get all the people asking if one still ages while time is frozen and that's a possibility but a part of me thinks that if time is frozen then one doesn't age. Just because you're able to move freely doesn't necessarily mean your body is going to age.

Aside from robbing a bank, I would love to look at the world and examine it when time is at a halt. And, supposing that everything is still and won't be affected by my presence, I would love to walk across the ocean to visit other countries.
 
Id walk up to shake peoples hands and then stop time then walk behind them and start time again and tap them on the shoulder like haha what are you doing bro Im over here.
