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

I just pictured him stepping off airforce one and his pants falling to his ankles making him stumble down the stairs Gerald Ford style.

Isn't this also the plot of a Japanese porno?

I'd make a sequel to Clockstoppers.

First thing that pops into my head whenever I see a mention of a watch that can stop time.
I fully believe that almost all humans would break from the societal rules if they had the ability to do that without repercussions. I believe that most humans will be decent with all the checks and balances surrounding us, but when they are given a tool to absolutely and completely bypass that, they would deviate and do things to benefit themselves by doing something that would break the societal rules. It makes sense to me.
Now, this is just something I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend... But yes, there is an entire series of this, if I recal- according to my friend's friend's friend's friend's friend.
Again, I don't even watch porn, this is just something a friend of a friend told me.
I mean, really.

I'd learn how to play so many instruments, starting with the guitar and the piano. I'd probably read a lot. And I like the sleeping in idea.
What's this friend's name? Cotse?

Drop a fucking ROADA ROLLA-DAAAAAAAA on someone's head.
I wouldn't use it because the moment you stop time, you're moving atoms all around you faster than the speed of light just by yours bumping into them. The moment you resume time, there would be so much energy imparted you'd be ripping atoms apart and causing fission explosions.
Even if there was some gimmick where all velocities of moved objects by you are reset, you would still leave a big vacuum of air and particles everywhere you've been since you are pushing them out of the way and they aren't moving to refill that space. This would cause devastating implosions, more than likely causing massive havoc and killing people from the pressure waves.
Don't use the watch, it's a trap.

Destroy it. If I stopped time I'd be stopped too. Who would restart it?
See, the real trick is not stopping and starting time, it is moving outside of time yourself. If you can do that you don't need the stop watch in the first place. If you can't do that the stop watch is not only useless, it is a death sentence for everything in its range.

Rape? What the fuck.

Oh hey, that's a way better villain name than the one I was going to use, "Clockblocker".

Move to a warzone. Disarm everybody.
Go to Borneo and Sumatra and remove all logging equipment and disrupt Palm plantations. I love orangutans and we are killing them for goddamned palm oil.
Get a boat and go destroy the fishing lines of every boat I could find. Not leave them to drift. Reel them in and destroy them somehow - I don't know how.
Then I would probably see if I could use the power to somehow sterilize like 99% of the human race.
Time continues for me, right? I age? I figure that after that, I would probably be old enough to pass the watch on. If I had a few years left I would see if I could somehow take on human trafficking.
If time doesn't continue for me (i.e., I don't age as time is stopped), I go to NASA and give them the watch so we can explore space (if it projects a field that allows time to continue for an object in motion which the watch is inside of). If it works that way, we could identify a new and better Earth, build ships for everybody who wants to go, and go there in an instant.

time=air??
They're given the power of a god yet still worry about the physics.
Also, I would steal and do crazy 'magic'.
You must be related to Neil deGrasse Tyson
Me? Mostly because i wanted to see if someone would complain.
No, it is not a power of a god.
It is just ultimate solipsism, ultimate loneliness. Why would anyone really want that?
True power of a god could be used for something actually useful or interesting (in addition to stuff like this if you really must).

So you're saying I have the power to stop time and the power to spontaneously generate deadly implosions?
Could I control where these implosions happen with some kind of RC tank, possibly with a skull on the front?

it's all I've ever wanted.
Yes, How did you know? By the way, that's totally not me.
Not me.
I don't watch porn.
Nope. Never. My mind is as pure as a sewer- China's any rive- a white canvas, I mean. Damn auto-correct.
If you give normal people even a tiny bit of power, the great majority of them will abuse it.
Imagine what the masses would do with a lot of power, such as the ability to stop time.
Hell, look at what they did with the power to vote.

Because people who aren't "so technical" shouldn't be stopping time in the first place. Next you'll be asking Donald Trump what he would do with the nuclear football.
You've seen what people in this thread would do. Rob, steal, kill, rape, molest, do "truly awful things to people" "whatever the fuck that means". Lord forbid a truly horrible person gets it.

literally every one of us is stopping time in this hypothetical. it doesn't matter if we should be or not.

Could be useful to find missing people. I wouldn't do much honestly if I aged during it. If I didn't though there's a ton of possibilities.
Well that wouldn't be very much fun. If everyone has special powers then they aren't special. You'd basically be forcing my hand on this, MC; I'd have to kill all the other timestoppers. There can be only one.
