No idea. But did you hear about the thousands of neonazis who all died at exactly the same time? Crazy stuff…

… and how’d that floating knife get there? Just, floating where they just happened to be standing … Weird!
That is unironically a really cool premise for a sci-fi noir mystery novel. A detective has to figure out how multiple people in different parts of the world are all killed in exactly the same moment.
Suffocate or get immolated trying to move from the friction of the now solid air mass.
I came here to try and get away from this corny ass reddit speak
Nobody cares.
You say that but you responded. I tell ya that cornball talk wont fly in college.
Sure.

for legal reasons and to avoid the community burning me at the stake I will provide no further context.
I choose to believe that you will run around flashing people. Wouldn’t that be embarassing if time suddenly starts running again!
Your honesty is respectable.
I’ll cheers to that
Reminds me of a little fantasy I had as a kid. But with dicks.
I also boobs.
.
Additionally, I also for legal reasons & to avoid being banished by all communities, will provide no further context.For further context, see the movie Cashback.
Immediately panic. Why did it stop? How do I start it? Am I still aging? Can I still die?
Fuck FuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuck
First, I take a long rest. Then, I might nap a bit.
This is the way.
Lol probably freeze to death. Photons stop moving, molecules stop vibrating. Electronic devices probably don’t function/respond. So I could sleep (forever), no video games/tv/movies. Time travel trips me up; like I could walk around, but would time stopping fuck with the cohesion of matter/reality etc? Think you need a few more preconditions for this poll.
That’s fair. I was trying to keep it broad to incite discussion. But since we’re getting deeper sciencey with that. Let’s assume that physics still includes active friction, gravity and heat transference especially since you can move. This is something like a gravitational anomaly that has affected the time space continuum in that you can move even though “Time” is stopped and everyone else is frozen in the moment
Alright so I can do aforementioned things, read books, build a cabin in the middle of nowhere, etc. And I was thinking about what Zathras said, if I could drive I could probably weave around people without incident. It just occurs to me what might happen if time started moving forward meanwhile. Also dependent on that factor, the political and social ramifications, oh my. Easy Luigi mode, if I were so inclined. I’ve seen time travel depicted so many different ways and with so many different rules so its made me particular.
Fair! And time space shit is my jam. (Stein’s gate is an awesome visual novel, manga, anime / piece of media) if you haven’t see it … You’ll have a field (Heh) day
If photons and therefore likely all molecules stopped moving then you wouldn’t really have a way of losing heat as that eliminates conduction, convection, and radiation. But if we assume our body still works completely unfrozen then we would still need to burn calories and generate heat and without a way of shedding that what we would probably overheat and die, or depending on the limitations suffocate from lack of air if it’s all “frozen”.
Also if like everything just stopped suddenly like for example the planet earth stopped moving you would also get thrown pretty far from the rapid acceleration which could also kill you.
Basically what I am saying is it’s a much more useful question if you make the assumption that all living beings freeze but the universe doesn’t and maybe can be even better thought as plants and single cell organisms don’t freeze as that also limits the question a lot
Nothing.
My cat is asleep on my lap. I am now trapped for all eternity.
Remove as many nazis and nazi sympathizers as I can, probably.
Steal
Yup. This is the only honest answer.
Quickly get into every missile silo and jerry-rig a way to remote control them, move all the personnel out of the silos, lock access, set up cameras in all of them, then find a way to resume time. Once time resumes, announce that I have control over all the nukes, launch a high-atmosphere blast near DC, Moscow, Beijing, London, Paris, to prove it, become a global dictator.
A benevolent dictator, of course. (pinky promise 😉 just trust me bro 😈)
Your high altitude warning shots would wreck civilization. Read up on the starfish prime tests.
better have a dead man switch on that or you’re going to have every intelligence service on the planet gunning for you before you can get a lot of dictatoring done.
Hit refresh and reset buttons and wonder why my devices don’t work. Honestly no idea what I’d do once I figure out what’s going on - any socially/legally unacceptable behavior would be a huge risk because I’d have no way of knowing how long the timestop lasts.
TBH I’d probably just try to wait it out, maybe take a walk outside and take a look around.

David Wong wrote a book where time would stop, but he actually put thought into it. So like, a field of grass was basically a field of razor blades because nothing else could move.
Fog and clouds could be walked on, a bunch of other stuff that made sense but is rarely thought of.
I think it was “This book is full of spiders”
Go find an Aztec god. Someone is bound to be in charge of this mess.
Possibly arrange for some billionaires to meet their demise.
One could arrange a lot of pranks with a time freeze…
Finally. Sleep.
