Freeze Time

[Condraz23]

An interesting hypothentical question...

If you could freeze time, what would you do?

I can think of plenty of things such as robbing banks and impressing my friends by running 100 meters in zero seconds.

 

[livemusic]

I would help Hiro on his quest to save the world!

 

[Cap'n Jack]

If I could freeze time I'd probably pull peoples pants down in a mass de-pantsing spree. This is something I have thought about quite a few times and just about every time this sounds like the most likely thing for me to do.

EDIT: I'd probably also spend alot of time finishing over due school work!

And that's why I mention we should keep this thread clean and intelligent, as our imaginations can get carried away...

Actually, if you froze time, you'd be screwed. I've thought about what would happen if time was frozen after that movie with the time-slowing watch came out. It makes a lot of sense that the watch slowed time to a near stop and didn't actually stop it, because you wouldn't really be able to move or anything without your surroundings being able to go a distance over time.

Anyway, I think we all know what Keef would do with it. I don't know if I would want to mess with something like that, in all honesty. Think about it... you're still getting older while your surroundings are the same. If you abuse the power to freeze time, you'll be far older than you're supposed to be.

You want us to lie?

I'd try and find Bin Laden using Sausage dogs and a Llama.

I think it would end up quite a bit like Bill Murray in groundhog day. At first, you just mess with people and have fun - but eventually you just end up doing a bunch of things that you enjoy. So I'd end up practicing musical instruments and painting/drawing/whatever, you know - useful stuff. I'd probably get a lot of reading done, maybe write a book, build a house, do some working out, etc. Things that you just don't have time for right now.


^^ The above assumes that you do not age while time is frozen.

And spend your whole life away in what would actually not even be a fraction of a second?

 

[3-Wheel Drive]

I'd avoid it. What if the device breaks while time is stopped? I don't think anyone wants to end up like poor Patrick McNulty.

Yeah, Safety Not Guaranteed.

I'd probably be doing the same thing as far as usefulness goes. Other than that I'd just use it to play practical jokes on people.

Well, assuming you could also slow time down, that'd help in some sports, such as ping pong, or baseball.

I would visit all the exotic car show rooms near me. Drop by everyday and take them out for a spin.

No you wouldn't, unless you push them.

Your confidence in the nose of those dogs is outstanding!

 

[Mark T]

Not sure what you mean.

👍 Pretty much the same kind of things...

 

[Omnis]

Not sure what you mean.

You wouldn't be able to use the cars.

 

[Boundary Layer]

I'd catch up on sleep. I've been feeling pretty ragged lately.

I thought about it for a minute and it does sorta seems an odd thing to do if time is frozen. But if it's not moving, you can't waste it.... so, why not?

 

[Stevisiov]

You would die to put it simply, think about pressure differences, all the atoms around you stop, there would be nothing to keep you all together, gravity would not hold you down, there would be a whole load of reason why it wouldn't work but......

For the purposes of keeping this thread imaginative, we should assume all things are possible, like driving cars, no sudden collapse of time freeze landing you in a particularly difficult situation, also you don't age, just to keeps things simple and fun.

So lets hear some interesting ideas, out of the box thinking!

 

[Silverzone]

I'd probably Do some lifting and try to get back into shape.

 

[Michael88]

Freeze time? If it would happen VERY fast then my master plan would come alive:

1. Open the gun safe, take out the rifle and one backup pistol, 3 magazines for each gun you are carrying.
2. Call your family, take your brother / father with you to help you.
3. Drive with your brother/father to the nearest grocery store with your rifle in your hand and chase away all the other plundering people to get as much food / batteries / water / other supplies as you can throw into the car. (The police will have other things to do than stopping people from plundering stores.)
4. Stop at a gas station and take as much fuel with you as possible.
5. Move away from the city
6. Take someones house with force of arms.
7. Hope that you are not screwed.

 

[Stevisiov]

i think it would be fun to do the marathon pause it every 10 minutes have a relax, get back into position then un-freeze time, that way you could easily win, you wouldn't be tired, set a world record.

 

[Danny]

I would go round to all SGPDP members/supporters houses and slap them silly.

It still hurts.

Oh, and touch famous people inappropriately.

 

[TuneRVisioN]

I would take money from a bank or someones pocket.

Oh, and touch famous people inappropriately.

I hope you mean girls... I would do that to just about any girl thats around my age or a little older.

 

[Metar]

It could be funny swapping peoples pens while they're writing...

Or change situations to what you want. Don't like the music somewhere? Freeze time, go and change the CDs or whatever. Could be useful on a date.


Anyone remember the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode where Bart and Milhouse got a time-stopping watch? They got themselves in trouble with a mob, froze time, and accidentally broke the watch. Then spend 15 years fixing it, while eating nothing but jellyworms
