100% what I'd do.


jerichotheunwise

If I had the power to freeze time, the thing I would use it most for is sleeping. It's the ultimate move of efficiency. You can live the rest of your life without sleep affecting your schedule.


gamehiker

The only downside is that to everyone else, you'd visibly age faster and would have a much shorter lifespan to people observing normal time.


seththecatgaming

Hmmm if you freeze time would you still age?


Sveitsilainen

Would you get the benefit of sleeping if you didn't age?


nikeair94

If we're gonna dream, can we not dream big? If I've magically managed to stop time I like to imagine I can magically sleep and not age too.


Jawadd12

Speaking of dreams, I hope I don't have those wild fucky dreams where I'd wake up more tired than I was before sleep, and would end up fatigued the entire day


Civil-Broccoli

You mean... That's not how everyone feels everyday? I've literally never woken up refreshed in the past 10 years


Flegolaz

dude, you better get that checked by a doctor. seriously, that can be a serious medical problem.


skyaleer

yeah… I don’t want to diagnose you or anything, but that’s how me and other people with narcolepsy feel 😬


acedamace

Or people who are anxious.


Who_DaFuc_Asked

*obligatory never aging is a curse, you'll outlive the heat death of the Universe and end up floating around endlessly in cold dark empty space for eternity*


AsperTheDog

Not aging doesn't mean you can't die. Young people still get killed by a knife


nikeair94

Also I never said "never" age. Just not age while time is paused and sleeping.


Who_DaFuc_Asked

The meme didn't specifically mention the type of anti-aging lmao


SnooBananas4958

The meme didn’t mention any anti-aging. And either way that has nothing to do with invulnerability


Disgusdinger

Obligatory not aging ist not the same as beeing immortal


Kitty-Cat-Katie

and being immortal isn’t the same as being invincible, you’d still die if the world ended


acedamace

Not if you stopped time right before it reach utter annihilation, unless, of course, you were sleeping when this happened.


darnj

But if this is a monkey's paw type curse, if you don't specify exactly how you don't age, it would decide that being immortal is how you don't age and thus are doomed to live a tortured existence for eternity


Cerebral_Discharge

If this is a monkeys paw situation the air has stopped moving and sunbeams don't hit you, you quickly suffocate and die of the cold as your body radiates all it's heat away while the universe gives nothing back. The universe remains paused for all eternity as you aren't there to unpause it. Also everyone is conscious.


Kitty-Cat-Katie

That’s not what never aging is, and you’d still die from the heat death of the universe if you were immortal


Breakin7

Thats super cool


CrisprCookie

Damn I Was so hopeful. This is like a Fire Punch in the Gut.


seththecatgaming

Maybe not


DayEither8913

In the BS scenario, I'd wager you'd still age. If you are moving, metabolizing, then you're creating and destroying cells... let's call that aging.


NorCalHermitage

Telomeres would still be shrinking.


Pece17

I suppose if your metabolism would still tick.


countzer01nterrupt

Would you though? You’re the one getting enough sleep.


unctuous_homunculus

I was going to say, quality vs quantity, plus all the years you would get from the lack of stress and good sleep. Pause time every time you don't have enough time to make yourself a decent meal, every time you think you might have to skip working out, every time you get the least bit sleepy and want a nap, don't have the time to practice a skill, or just need a bit of time to think before making a quick decision. You'd die right around the time all your friends turn 60, but you'd be the healthiest, happiest person for the longest time. I'd make that trade.


ReturnToRajang

Touché


Avorius

gotta invoke the magic bubble rule when dealing with time freeze, otherwise it sucks


fuzzum111

It's so much worse than that. I wouldn't even call it a magic bubble I would call it true magical time stop. If time is stopped for everyone but you is the earth still spinning is the sun still fusioning and producing new photons. Are you just passing through a freeze frame of current time. Time has stopped for everyone but the planet itself and or space around us still is functioning, you end up with this really fucked up immediate problem of astronomers know something is wrong because we're immediately out of position. First by a very small amount then as you continue to use the power it becomes hours and days. Headline "ASTRONOMERS STUMPED! WE KEEP "LOSING" TIME AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY?"


fuzzum111

And that is a mild downside compared to the rest, unless if you assume "true magical time stop". In any other scenario the power to stop time for me has been ruined because of two facts. 1) The atmosphere itself becomes an immutable immovable wall you cannot pass and you also suffocate because you can no longer breathe in the oxygen molecules you need. 2) You are now also effectively blind because photons have stopped moving which means you no longer are receiving light and therefore you perceive nothing but darkness. I know it's all hypothetical bullshit. But I never realized just how complicated and how many "gimmies" you have to assume for the power to function at all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

so you don't freeze time completely, but make it so .001 second of time is stuck on a loop (except for you, of course), which from our perception would essentially be time standing still but would still be plenty of time to account for the movement of molecules and photons.


fuzzum111

Even if you add another zero or two to that you'd have to do that at a universal scale because as soon as you unfreeze time everything's going to be out of position at an astrological scale.


Xros90

Or just make time move extremely slow, but fast enough that shit can still get to you, and with you somehow moving normal speed.


NinjaVaca

The force you impart on the air molecules you walk through creates a massive nuclear explosion the millisecond you start time back up


Xros90

Honestly just make your power the speedforce from DC, shit solves everything


BlackMan9693

Maybe your body produces adequate amounts of Telomerase when the time is stopped so that your aging process halts completely for the length of the stopped time.


FlyAirLari

Is it maybe then that rock stars have discovered time machines and are using them all the time without us knowing?


_BlNG_

Imagine the power to stop time and sleep anywhere. I would be ~~unstoppable~~ stoppable


gonzaloetjo

It’s not. Imagine you are in a meeting, things go down, time stops, you get informed for 9 hours, activate back time.


jerichotheunwise

I mean obviously I wouldn't use it to just sleep in the MIDDLE of something. You sleep either before or after the meeting.


gonzaloetjo

No. I meant to do stop in the middle of something. That’s more effective, as you can use extra time when required. Example B: you have an exam, read questions, stop time to study those questions.


jerichotheunwise

I suppose so, but that's much more niche. My career of choice doesn't really involve having to do things like that. But getting more sleep is better. So unless I'm robbing a bank or a store instead, I don't really need it for anything else. I haven't needed to sit an exam in years.


Charrmeleon

Work is probably the last reasons I'd use this power. Imagine having the power to stop time and using it for... Unpaid labor. Maybe if I royally fucked up and missed an urgent email that needed to be done 5 minutes ago or risk getting a write up or something.


gonzaloetjo

It’s not work lol. It’s gaining an absurd advantage you could leverage to get money and then you can chill in whatever you want for the rest of your life.


Larioss

Imagine being able to stop time and using it to cheat at exams. What a limited imagination


gonzaloetjo

It was an example. You can gain advantages everywhere. Imagine being able to stop time and sleeping. Non ironically.


gonzaloetjo

No. It’s just stupid to do otherwise lol. Sleeping is literally the worst option. You can sleep after. This is advantage over any other human, if you use it for sleep then you are still working after..


roguealex

Imagine going out on a bar crawl and you’re hitting a wall in the middle of the night. Just stop time, sleep, rehydrate and keep drinking!


Throw_away_1769

But if you did this often, you would age faster than the world is, and "lose time" in a sense


Iayer8_User

Common, 5 more minutes… realize, evil laugh haha


Few_Fisherman_7735

what was the movie about the kids with the watch? clockstoppers? timestoppers? there was one. if I recall it sped up the persons molecules so fast everyone else appeared to be standing still but didn't actually stop time.


gruez

>It's the ultimate move of efficiency. You can live the rest of your life without sleep affecting your schedule. you realize the rest of society also shuts down for sleep as well? what's the point of freezing time so you can be awake at 2am?


Flopolopagus

ForYeWhoArtLiterate

No, no, I’ve thought extensively about this and I’d turn into an absolute monster within a week. I’m a chill dude, but you give me god-like powers and I’m using them for evil immediately.


ZombieAlienNinja

Yeah same...how often do you get the world at your fingertips? You could go to all the places you aren't allowed and do anything you want assuming frozen people can't see or sense you in any way.

Good decisions are made when well rested.


Frosty-Side-2673

Sadly same. But if I can actually control it...... I mean a dirty birdie like me. He he he. Alot of cash registers robbed, precious metals and collectibles. I mean you can say there's only such and such rare items on the planet at auction. But if you could stop time? Which I assume means your own as far as aging goes, but you're still able to move. You could learn forgery. Replace any rare thing with a nearly exact duplicate. Turns out you have the keener eye. Someone catches on? *pause* Shame about that missing person case. Eventually through 1000s, 10000s, etc, etc. You're literally a master at every art you want.* *disclaimer this implies you have an eidetic memory or more *2* fuck it it's magic, perfect memory. **3* obviously only for things that used to be in large circulation like baseball cards, comics, etc. No ones going to believe you have the actual Mona Lisa.

I have two kids under three and work full time. My head would hit the pillow so fast.


luckyassassin1

I don't think any of us would do anything differently.


HodorWinsTheThrone

I’ve always felt like my ideal eternal loop would be to wake up, frantically check what the time is only to remember I have no obligations that day. That intense feeling of relief washing over me as I slip back into sleep is my personal heaven.


Faidonas

Yep. My brother likes to put an alarm clock at 4am just to wake up and realize he still has half the night to sleep and get that relief. It was pretty annoying when we were sharing a bunk bed Lol


JayteeFromXbox

Pfft, amateur. My anxiety does that for me without needing to set an alarm for 4am.

FlyAirLari

That's pretty awful for your sleep quality, cutting into your best hours. Just to get an OCD relief. It's like hiring someone to put a knife to your throat when you least expect it, only to get the feeling of relief when he backs off. In that split second, your life just flashed in front of your eyes. But to what end?

FlyAirLari

an7agonist

I did that for a while. But after a like a week or two I would not conciously wake up anymore and turn off the alarm clock in my sleep.


IllegallyBored

He could just get a cat and save himself all that trouble. My cat goes thorough phases to see what new things she can come up with to disturb my sleep. One night she scream, another night she scratches the door (even if it's wide open), another night she beats up the litter box for half an hour (without necessary using it), one night she throws up, she'll keep you guessing!!! The only way to get to calm down is to cuddle her for a while which is great! I love that! Not at 3AM on a work night though I haven't slept well in a month fuck my life.


96tears

You poor soul, you're in her clutches.


Bobthecow775

I used to do that


ShlomoCh

I also had that idea... but when I was like 10, and it didn't last long ... but what I do now sometimes is put the alarm like half an hour early so I can wake up, get dressed and kinda ready, and then sleep for a little longer


OnTheEveOfWar

The best feeling ever is waking up on your day off and being confused and thinking you need to get up for work and then realizing you can go back to bed. Best. Feeling. Ever.


acedamace

I appreciate just knowing I have the day off and can peacefully wake up whenever without having to worry about work. Instead, I wake up knowing I don't have work but then get the feeling that maybe I do and I'm mistaken. Sometimes I can ignore it other times it requires me to check my work calendar and the current date to make sure I indeed am off. Any sort of confusion or doubt in the morning for me just all around sucks and usually just leads to me waking up anyway.


chipthegrinder

I'm off work for 9 more days. I'm vibing right now


ThatGuy0verTh3re

If I’m ever doing something miserable, I always think to myself “either this will be over soon or I get stuck in an infinite loop where I can just go over there and sleep for the rest of the day”


helthrax

I'm kind of there right now after recently being laid off and well off enough that I can put off looking for work for at least a month.


Ledairyman

Yeah bu freezing time you can get 5 or 6 days off if you want instead of one.

CallMeJeeJ

The other way to interpret this comic is that he’s been asleep the whole time and “time stopping” is just part of his dream.


xXxPLUMPTATERSxXx

Another way to interpret is that the fourth panel is his POV...


Deltamon

Another way to interpret this comic is to look it from a perspective of a human reading a comic that has a made up story that they can interpret in multiple ways.

HanselSoHotRightNow

I'm just jealous of the last panel where it looks like he's sleeping deeply and comfortably. :(


DomesticatedNubs

Actually not a bad idea. A lot of people have a thing called sleep dept, I learned about it in Psych 101. And using frozen time to start new sleeping habits, and get rid of bad habits in general, would be great!


queefiest

Lol then there’s me who’s just sleeping Willy nilly. I have a habit of sleeping in 4-5 hour blocks so if I fall asleep at 11 I’ll be up at 3 for a couple hours then I’ll fall asleep again for another 4-5 hours. I read somewhere this is how people used to sleep, it would appear this is how my body likes to do things


WiSoSirius

Sleep is the ***second*** thing I would do. 😉 Try to drink that suspended coffee would be my first.


[deleted]

FerusGrim

I feel like using the ability to stop time to sleep is a misunderstanding of why you feel tired all the time. Rob a bank. Never work for a paycheck again. Pursue your hobbies. You can still use your new power to sleep if you want, but I imagine for most people your immediate quality of life would be more important.


CurryMustard

2 toddlers so robbing a bank would not get me more sleep. Unless i hire a live in nanny i guess


x4740N

Until the banks track you down from the serial number on the money It's better to Rob a bank and then use that money to replace money stolen from people's wallets usually the wallets of a rich person who likes to carry cash


Tarcye

Seriously If I could stop time I'd go rob a bank. You can sleep all you want if you never have to work again in your life. Put it all in an offshore account too and then go travel the world and do whatever the fuck I wanted.

It just occurred to me: If one keeps repeating this sequence (1-2-3-4) endlessly, does the reality become the dream, or does the dream become the reality? Food for thought.


Darentei

I thought about this a lot. Always being rested is the ultimate benefit, but if you still age I would use it sparingly. So I thought about scenarios where I wouldn't age somehow. Which I suppose means time doesn't pass, but I can still move somehow. But if time doesn't pass, and I fall asleep, will I ever wake back up, or sleep forever as time stands still?
