Just watched an episode of The Twilight Zone online. There’s this episode about a man who was given a stopwatch by a random stranger in a bar. It turns out the stopwatch can, you guessed it, stop time. One click, stop time. Click it again, time resumes. Click it again, time stops again.
The guy in the show was an idiot. But let’s say you somehow had this magical stopwatch. What would you do with it? (other than rob a bank lol).
Would you:
-get rid of it
-give it to someone else
-tell someone about it
-tell NO ONE about it
-do pranks (give creative examples, I’m bored lol)
-do things to advance your life
-do good things with it?
-do bad things with it?
-other interesting/cool/weird/awesome/creative things?

Get rid of it. I have no right to possess such power (and would probably end up like the guy in that episode).
More noble than I lol. I’d prolly use it for both good and evil 😛
It would be a fascinating phenomenon to observe and I would definitely want to see that, but I would have no way of knowing what kind of damage I might be doing.
you mean like the butterfly effect?
I’d find a way to easily off myself with it.
How? It only stops time. It doesn’t give you the items you can use to off urself. Unless you stop time, go into a hospital, and steal some liquid poison, go home, drink it. Something like that.
Just remember to start time again before you go!
LOL. If you forget, that’s too bad for the living eh? But then again, if they’re all frozen, they wouldn’t know…?
What a useless power. Can’t predict the future, can’t change the past, only stuck in the present. The only things that would probably be useful to it would be to kill the elites that made our lives miserable through their social engineering programs that rewards evil and punishes the good and stealing money from banks to becone an instant millionaire. Other than that, pretty useless if you ask me.
becoming an instant millionaire by using the stopwatch doesn’t sound like a useless power to me! 😛 To each their own. No magic stopwatch in your stocking for xmas!!
Trust me dude, all the money in the world won’t fix me up. Money can’t buy you friends (true friends that jabe rapport) or buy me back my dignity. But who knows, maybe i can use those powers to murder the living shit out of all the people who wronged me. Then again, what’s the fun in that if they don’t suffer the pain that I’ve gone through? They’ve got to experience the torture first before they get snuffed out
It would be no good for me, but i guess i’d use for stealing things so i can a) magically leave them for people that need them, b) be able to retire into the woods like a hermit. That’s the only good uses i can think, because even if i could stop time i wouldn’t be able to fix most of my issues.
So you would be Robin Hood?
ha, good one!
Yeah, i guess so… no tights tho! (unless mel brooks is involved). I think people would figure out right away that the dressed-completely-in-green-with-the-link-cap-and-wearing-tights guy with the weird clock is the culprit, lol.
Superhero’s always give themselves away with their costumes… 😛
And…why do they always wear tights? Must be a superhero rule.
Although…Robin Hood isn’t technically a superhero. Well, whatever he’s called.
We’re men. We’re men in tights. We roam around the forest looking for fights.
Ever say to yourself “I wish time could stand still”? That’s what I’d use it for, to make the good times last longer…something as simple as that.
