And that’s why I haven’t said anything. Now no one will realize that I’m the sickest fuck of them all.

Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Didn’t even think about this. I thought of how crushingly boring and annoying it must have been to have been unable to move at all. For 6 months.
And now I realize it must have been dreadful, at first.

Imagine if your one of the thousands of people who would likely happen to have the sun in their eyes at the instant of freezing.
todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Or getting frozen mid-orgasm.

Depending on the exact moment you might assume you died and the ecstasy you were feeling was an afterlife.

Good thing is that since time has stopped, you won’t get your eyes burnt since light stopped travelling as well.
dohpaz42@lemmy.world 2 months ago
As an aside, if light stopped too, wouldn’t that mean that the world would be plunged into darkness?
Photons of light reflect off of objects, and into our eyes before being converted into electrical signals by the brain and translated into visuals that we see. But to do this, photons and electrical signals need to be able to move through time and space. So if time is stopped, and light is stopped with it, none of that other stuff happens, and we all would effectively be blind. No?
jaybone@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Does this mean everything would be dark?
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
if a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it.
Does that mean that when photons stop moving, nobody can see them?

Basically sleep paralysis
corus_kt@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So either six months of sleep paralysis or you experience six months of time in the instant that time returns, possibly mentally handicapping people from the sensation. Yeah, OP better go into hiding, anyone who survives will hunt them down - regardless of what they do.

i would pee in people’s drawers because i don’t think that happens enough.

Like, in their furniture, or would you be pissing other people’s pants?
LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
I would have at least visited museums and the likes in cities I can’t afford to visit, as well as making food with all the tasty high quality ingredients I can’t afford.
Maybe drive around on some expensive motorbike just to see how it feels. If my financial situation at the time was especially dire, maybe take a “loan” from a bank somewhere before unfreezing time.
You’d have to be a saint to have that power and not do anything illegal. But one thing I would never do is fuck over regular people, only corporations and big businesses. After time unfreezes, those can recover from whatever I did and I doubt I’d but a significant dent in their profit margins, but regular people would have to live with the consequences of what I did, so that’s a no go.

i see that we have different ideas about what ‘nasty’ means :)
shani66@ani.social 2 months ago
A saint to not break laws? Laws are not morality, often they run directly counter to morality.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Eh, I honestly probably wouldn’t do much. If we’re going with the typical “time stop” rules where people just lock up and the days never change (trying to not think too hard about the physics), I would probably just work on a lot of hobbies that I don’t have time for normally.
That’s really boring, so I guess that says a lot about me… Now I’m sad.
NormalPerson@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Depends, what would happen if I stopped time in a moving car? Like if I were to stop time when that one car was swerving in and out of traffic, almost hit someone, then flicked them off?
If I stopped time then would I still be carried by the momentum and splat against the inside of my car leaving everyone frozen forever or undo time stop and some freak accident is talked about on the news?
Or do I get to stop time while they’re flipping the bird, pull their car off to the side of the road, take off their tires, fill their gas tank with sugar, then swipe their offending finger in their butt crack and leave it pressed against their upper lip?
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If momentum was something to worry about, I feel like you’d have to worry about the movement of celestial bodies/etc too.
lseif@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
thats the best part: you get to decide how the physics of it will work
loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Assume some people were around you when you froze time. They saw you did something and then were the only one who could move.
Then they went through the absolute nightmare of being paralyzed and conscious for six months. And they know you’ve caused it.
I highly doubt the whole world concented to this.
Whatever else you did in frozen time barely changes a thing.
Tired8281@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
What if you spent your frozen time, determining the problems of everyone in the world, and solving them? So, when everybody got unfrozen, it was a utopia.
loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
People may say “you can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs”, but would the eggs agree ? With hindsight you might become seen as a hero, but I doubt that would change the immediate hatred people would feel upon release from half a year of bondage within oneself.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Exactly. If someone mowed my lawn for me, that’s cool. If they tied me to a chair so tight I couldn’t move until they were done, not so cool.

One person’s utopia is another’s dystopia. There will always be people genuinely upset about what you did or what “utopia” you want to archive.
Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Dude you can get in trouble for doing a lot of things that aren’t a criminal sex act. There’s so much more out there! Doing H until you nod out in public, stealing products, playing guitar after 10pm, orchestrating dog fights, gambling on when elderly people will die, driving a class B school bus with an expired physical on file, the possibility are endless.
Kedly@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Like half of these dont work if time is stopped tho.
Mango@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I respect people’s consent in the scenario where it’s something they experience or are affected by it. I’d imagine frozen time is consequence free zone for everyone.
jorp@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes this is fantasy but what you’re effectively stating here is that if you don’t get caught it’s not wrong. The same argument would justify groping a deep sleeper, do you think that’s not wrong?
Mango@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No, not really. I’m saying that if there’s zero effect for the would-be victim, I can’t see them being wronged. I think time freeze is probably not the right scenario for this though. They’d be physically affected. Copying them in an simulation type thing is more along the lines of what I’d consider harmless.
dohpaz42@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Unfortunately for me, I feel like if I thought I could get away with something consequences free, I’d probably do it. I’m not proud of that aspect of my morality, but I’d be lying if I denied it.
That said, I remind myself that if I’m too ashamed to do it under the scrutiny of people, then it is 100% not something I’m doing. That goes for simulations as well. Because there is always a chance someone will find out… and frankly, I don’t think I could live with myself.
Right or wrong, that’s my take on it.
jorp@lemmy.world 2 months ago
that’s another interesting but debatable position. AI generated deepfakes of teens fall into that category.

AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Installing hidden cameras in a public toilet is harmless by that definition as long as they never get discovered, but would still be highly immoral. I don’t think you’ve thought this through. People’s right to decide what happens to their body extends to things like who can see it rather than just who can physically touch it.
