Time seemed to pass by so slowly once upon a time when I thought that a week consisted of 10 days. But as we slowly grow older and become more aware of our surroundings (this part sucks), time seems to have its eyes set on us, determined to ruin our perfect slow-mo lives.
At times like this, have you ever wished that you had the ability to stop time?
Just think about it... it's a practically impossible concept, I know. But just how much would it rock/suck?
If one had the ability to stop time, the amount of stuff he could do is practically limitless. But, given the circumstances that time has been stopped, there is also a whole lot of stuffs that he is unable to do. Let's compile a small list off the top of my head on what he can and can't do if time has stopped.
CAN DOs- strip naked and run around without getting caught
- strip other people naked
- take anything to your heart's content without the pain of paying
- hump the immobile humans
- sleep in the middle of the road
- go through people's private belongings
- draw on people's face
- scream, shout and sing anywhere you like
- strip people naked - have I mentioned this already?
CAN'T DOs- operate any digital devices - that means no games and no tv
- have sex - unless you count doing it with an stiff human body
- irritate people - since they're pretty much frozen in time
- stop yourself from aging - read below
Shop till you drop! All the clothes would be free because no one is going to stop you from taking them. Everything in the world would be free for your taking. Automated doors would be a problem though.
But since time has stopped, you would eventually starve to death when you finish up all the food available at that point of time. The good news is, the food would never rot and it's probably enough to last till you're old to die (unless you're a lazy ass who can't even be bothered to look for food).
Yes,
you WILL eventually die because you can't stop your own biological clock from ticking... unless you freeze yourself in time, which pretty much defeats the purpose.
The possibilities involved if one could stop time is practically limitless. The first thing I would do if I stop time would be... to take a long nap. Naps are vital! Remember that! And then I shall proceed to wreck havoc onto the world... starting with stripping people naked. Very important.
What would YOU do if you had the ability to stop time?
