You can pause time!

[Snowbell]

I would pause time and never start it again. Or maybe I would once I've sampled all the foods in the supermarket, obtained every item I want to own and studied a lot so I can appear smarter than I am.

 

[Palademon]

I don't know. I'd probably prevent accidents

[hazabaza1]

I never got the whole "I'd look at naked boobies hurr hurr."
If you're posting here you have internet. That's a fuckin' infinite supply of tits there. There's more tits coming up on this every day than we can keep up with.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

To be honest I'd do my course work so I'd more time for other stuff. Then I'd probably try take over the world.

theft mainly with a not so healthy dose of invasion of privacy.

I would freeze time so as to eat all of the food. Well not really but it would be worth swinging by a sushi place and just helping myself to some food while everyone is stuck. Other than that there's my personal fantasy (which I've had since I was old enough to know the value of money) which would be to make cash transactions everywhere I go. I would stop time as the cashier is taking my cash and take all but one of the larger bills (well probably less than that...I would end up taking one or two bills from the 100/50 section and 3 or 4 from the 20 and 10 sections).

Unlike up and stealing everything, it would be difficult to notice if a smaller amount was taken. Besides, money is money and I can almost always guarantee a prophet.

When it comes to not breaking the law though, I would stop time to travel and play JRPGs.

rule 1. time isn't "frozen" per say, its more like its moving so slowly that if you watch a rocket moving 500 meters per second it will move about an 10cm. (work that out and you get a virtual cookie )

rule 2. Force does not carry. if you punch someone who was standing still, they will feel the punch once unfrozen but will not move because of the force. Essentially, whenever you let go of an object, it has to be still with no force acting on it. However, if it is removed from contact by something else, it still retains force.

rule 3. any inanimate object you touch, as long as you keep contact, will function correctly. Examples being taking pictures/videos and shooting a gun. (the bullet will travel a very short distance the freeze. the force doesn't carry law does not apply in cases where the speed is caused by an object.)

I need to clarify some things.

Force is reliant on motion and change in motion. This requires time.

Are you implying that the force I create and thus transfer to other objects is scaled to normal time (ie. I cannot create almost infinite force) when applied to object I am not holding?

Is there any further limitations?

A few examples:

What happens if I pick up a rock and throw it? (please give some measurments, ie. distance/time travelled before it reverts to normal speed.)

What happens if I push someone/thing? What force will they/it experience? What will happen to their/it physical position?

Can, by touching another person when activating the device, I bring someone with me into my super long time world? (Assume constant contact is maintained).

Also, what the fuck does "retains force" mean? Are you talking about potential energy?

Edit: Infinite force was a large overstatement. I'd be creating force at 5000:1 the force a human can create normally. By no means infinite, but still significantly inconceivable in general use.

what I was trying to do was prevent so sudden a change to a person's state that they either perish or are injured from you simply touching them. This is mainly because time isn't stopped and still is flowing. If you were to throw a rock and have it go flying at the speed you threw it at while time was slowed, it will go faster than a bullet. well, I'm not really sure how to put it in logical terms, really. Basically, lets just say that something must be still when you let go of it. if you push someone, they will be still when time resumes, but if they are in an awkward enough position, then gravity will be enough to pull them down.

If you can't tell, i'm not the best with physics...

 

[MetalMagpie]

you gain a special watch that has the ability to pause all time around you and you have no constraints on using it.

You saw Bernard's Watch too? That program was awesome.

I'd start by using my new-found oodles of extra time to get more work done on my game project. (Damn you full-time-job-and-hobbies!)

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Here I thought the rocket thing was a 5 Centimetres per Second reference.

I'd order a pizza then freeze time and set the clocks forward by 31 minutes.

Free pizza!

 

[Cazza]

Primary use. Stop time in the mornings to let me keep sleeping until I want to get up, do homework, watch moves, etc

Learn things at an instant rate to others. Go to the zoo for free. Dance like nobody is watching. Pranks like throw water at someone and walk away before unfreezing.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

Revise...

And, as mentioned before, spy on naked women, rob places and be a superhero... The worst superhero ever but a superhero non the less. Thay'd call me "Morally Ambiguous Man"

 

[bossfight1]

I'd freeze time, drive ALL THE WAY to the Bioware offices and take a dump on Casey Hudson's desk for the denouement to a certain franchise.

I'd find Justin Bieber and shave his/her head.

I'd head to the Westboro Baptist Church and put their head pastor in a compromising position with another male member of the church, take a picture and post it to the internet when I was finished.

Finally, just for shits and giggles, I'd just snag a shitload of cash from a bank. Wouldn't deposit it, just stuff it under my mattress.

 

[Vegosiux]

I'd use it in a more boring fashion.

But my intricately set, carefully and deliberately planned comebacks would crush egos and make manly men weep with humiliation.

That's cool. It's a hobby of mine, I'm only good at mechanics, not real physics.

I'll come back and have a proper think about it tomorrow, but right now it's almost midnight and I need to sleep.

 

[Guffe]

I will turn into a small green alien

Spoiler: Anyone guessed this before opening this box?

Also, this'll be really cool, I'll become a super cop!

 

[CommanderL]

Pause time and become a master of everything learn all the science's master every martial art read every book Heck I will drag the world kicking and screaming into a new age my age

+5 points for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure refference.

OT:
I'd probably use it for:
1."Teleportation" (i.e. if I'm about to be late somewhere, I simply stop time and go where I need to);
2.education(i.e. give myself some "help" during exams or tests);
3. Reading books, learning to draw and play bass. You know, hobby stuff.

Also, as someone mentioned before, if I really exist outside time and don't age, then I'd sleep in this state and once fully restored, continue my existence.
Oh, and let's not forget about saving my ass from "situations" on the streets.

 

[jbassic]

I would play video games while time is frozen so I can use all the running time to actually productive.

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

So it's a Clockstoppers watch. (Bonus points to the guy above who posted this earlier. Whoo!)

Okay. Things I would do:

1. Sleep. I would get all my sleep in time-freeze. That's 8-10 more hours per day that nobody else gets. I would use that for all kinds of hobbies.

2. Reading and other non-social activities. If time is frozen, I can be alone for as much time as I want, without actively wasting time I could use to hang out with people. I could live two lives. Get good at *all* the hobbies!

3. I would be sorely tempted to freak the hell out of my enemies. Oh, you lock your door? Ha ha ha ha ha, that's so cute! Give me enough frozen time and I can get into your house and basically do whatever I want, including leaving notes, rearranging items like a creepy poltergeist, and driving you batshit insane. I could even put people in positions where, when time is unfrozen, they will whack themselves in the balls. So, guys, still want to be assholes?

4. Traveling long distances quickly. If anything I'm touching works, I can drive a car across the country so long as I pack enough cans of gas. Even if that doesn't fly, I can pack some food and hike as far as I want.

5. Exercise. I never have time for that crap. Now I always get a workout that doesn't interfere with my day!

6. Go walk around in bad neighborhoods with time stopped, look for someone beating up someone else or whatever, tie him up, drag him to the police station, now relocate the other guy, done. Find drug labs and apply sledgehammer. Repeat until people are too terrified to commit crime. This is also known as Death Note without the killing -- "the invisible anti-evil force will screw you over if you do bad things!"

7. Having gotten rid of crime in my area, I will move on to shitty lifestyles. Toss everyone's cigarettes. Throw buckets of fried chicken and candy in the trash. Rescue the 30 cats stuck in the apartment. Hey guys, looks like some invisible force is trying to tell you you're DOING IT WRONG.

8. Do random awesome things for people. A cookie appeared when you really needed something nice in your life? Awesome! Your bike fixed itself overnight? Sweet! Your apartment got cleaned for no good reason? Whoo!

9. Use other people's stuff. Like, go break into private pools and stuff. Clean up afterwards, but really now, I want a pool with a waterfall...

 

[Facing The Plastic]

If I kept my morals and boring ways I'd just use the time to sleep constantly but not loose that much time in the day so I'm always energetic!
Though if I was a complete jerk I'd mostly do stuff like this:
And possibly go into shops and taking all the shiny things that aren't nailed down.
