Err, I might point out that gravity comes from Earth's magnetic field, not it's rotation.dragonslayer32 said:

yes, but if the Earth stopped spinning, it's magnetic field would be virtually non existant which would fuck-up gravityDeathsHands said:
It's the reverse; spinning works against gravity, it doesn't make a magnetic field.dragonslayer32 said:
(Although it should be noted that the rotation's negative effect on gravity is relatively minor.)
trust me, if the earth suddenly stopped spinning, everything not secured down would fly off. I think I have been slightly misleading here. You are right, but what I meant was that if the Earth suddenly stopped, everything would shoot off. Although, this would have an effect on the magnetic field which would in turn effect gravity. Besides, if time stops, the magnetic field, light, air and gravity would surely stop too.DeathsHands said:
Honest answer?
I would pause probably every hour, fuck a girl in the ass while she was frozen, and then unpause again.
Honestly. I'm calling every guy who says he wouldn't fuck every hot girl he meets, if he could freeze time, a liar.
It would maybe get a little boring in time.
At that point I would stop time, undress people around me, and then unpause time again. That would be incredibly hilarious.
Also, I would probably pause time every time an asshole picks a fight with anyone (Not necessarily me) and then beat the living shit out of them.
Wow. Pausing time would be awesome.
Would I also steal money, myself? Yes. Of course.

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball or wibbly wobbly, timey wimey.... stuff.
The thing about pausing time is that once time resumes everything you interact with instantly catches up with you.
In theory, you should be either existing in your own past or future. In practice, you co-exists with your past or future. The combined reality is a less than the sum of its parts. The first indication of a time track jump is a loss of present. Literally, some present has passed by, which the victims will not be aware of.
Some objects, apparently from random, will appear to be from the future once time has stopped.
For example, if you pause time and touch a glass then it not be able to be interacted with (i.e. you can touch the glass but can't leave fingerprints on it).
When time resumes, everything that the time travellers interacted with will suddenly happen. The glass which had no fingerprints after a touch will seemingly suddenly change, the fingerprints appearing. Worse still, although your positions remain the same, the future which was before your eyes has gone to be replaced with the "present". There is an element of fate here, as nothing has changed. Yours other self may still be observing the situation. If before you saw yourself die, this may happen now.
However, as you have foreknowledge, this can actually be avoided.

Ah, you're making it far too complex. I'd just move with almost the speed of light thus avoiding time friction and problems with Mister Heisenberg while still having the comfort of a relative conception of time.TimeLord said:
And I think I'd use it to pull pranks since the superhero option is not given. Wait, "other"?
I'm gonna be a super hero!
Anything and everything I wanted. The world would become a better, yet much worse place if I had that power...
Each day would last for about a week, since I would be unable to do any solitary work or leisure activity with time progressing normally. As a result, when around other people I would always have nothing left to do except socialize. I expect I would get pretty annoying by hanging around too much and always having all my work done. I would accomplish a shit-ton of writing, reading modding and exercise, though, since my excuse for not doing that stuff is lack of time. I can't seem to spend a day doing something useful simply for the reason that the day is growing older.
1 - pull pranks like rearranging furniture, or positioning stuff in odd "how the fuck did that get there" ways.
2 - get to work on time. >_>

I'd use this new found ability to take over the world... Or I'd just use it to sleep a little longer and steal stuff
I'd get a lot of good exercise jogging to the financial offices of major publicly-traded corporations and read their 10-Qs before they're released, so I can buy or short their stock on knowledge of quarterly earnings.
Alternatively, I would do a lot of work writing and filing some patents that I should be sending to the USPTO in a nanosecond and have more time to actually play video games again...or have sex, whichever comes with a director's commentary section.

Get a good night's sleep, every night, no matter how late I really stayed out the night before. (No, really, I would. Every day would be better with more sleep. 
)
Also... Yea. Give myself a bit of extra time on exams...
