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.
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.
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?

Like, in their furniture, or would you be pissing other people’s pants?

A saint to not break laws? Laws are not morality, often they run directly counter to morality.

If momentum was something to worry about, I feel like you’d have to worry about the movement of celestial bodies/etc too.

thats the best part: you get to decide how the physics of it will work
