The frozen chipotle employee watching me walk behind the counter and make myself a burrito 180 times before time resumes

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 129 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Home Depot employees watching me steal an entire self-sufficient off-grid home one wheelbarrow load at a time.

The grocery store employee watching me stick every carrot in my ass.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 73 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And that is why you should always test newfound superpowers on a small scale before blowing your load on freezing time for 6 months you depraved Anon

Sounds like the type of thing the sickest fuck in the room would say to avoid suspicion

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That's funny because this sounds like the type of thing the sickest fuck in the room would say to avoid suspicion

Recursion: see recursion

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

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

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.

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago (10 children)

Good thing is that since time has stopped, you won't get your eyes burnt since light stopped travelling as well.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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?

And now I realize it must have been dreadful, at first.

That's basically sleep paralysis.

[–] corus_kt@lemmy.world 8 points 10 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.

[–] kusivittula@sopuli.xyz 33 points 10 months ago (14 children)

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 type I school bus with a physical on file that's two years and ten days old, the possibility are endless.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago

Like half of these dont work if time is stopped tho.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I would still steel shit from larger chain shops to eat an stuff so that wouldnt work out. Also i would test my powers first.

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

steel shit? sounds painful...

How would people know I've been in bed for those 6 months??

As far as they are concerned the cause of the phenomena is unknown.

And next time it will be longer.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 53 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Quick! Quick! Freeze it again! Wait... Actually never mind. After being frozen in place, and fully aware, for 6 months straight every single one of them is going to be batshit insane.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

Always test until you know the rules!

[–] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 25 points 10 months ago

That's OK, they'll know not to mess with me.

Especially after the news cycles through hundreds of otherwise inexplicably brutal events like 'oil company boardroom welded shut full of heaters', 'bee killing pestocide.producer found locked in a room full of wasps', 'putin awakes in room full people he's been oppressing', 'guy who invented mobile game adverts could only leave his house after clicking on a very small button that's actual hit box is slightly off the graphic'

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Everyone who is still alive

So make it count

And wear a mask and a big coat

At that point I'd just go all in, live in the just moment for a century and upend the entire world to make up for it.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

They can have fun rebuilding the cloud over, and over, and over again.
