That's why you remain anonymous, do the hero stuff while time is frozen and then unfreeze time somewhere far away and watch the results of your heroing on the news. Does it have to be all about the recognition man?

any of these time freezy power things necessarily come with infinite free energy. no matter which way its supposed to go down, if you can grab a bullet out of midair, you can generate enough power to create enough kugelblitzen to slingshot humanity into a type 3 civilisation and explore the stars forever as lord of the galaxy but i guess being a perv is cool too?

Sure but slingshotting humanity into a post-scarcity society takes a lot of effort whereas I'll usually jump at the chance to be a perv.

yeah haha tell anyone that's a good plan any plan that isn't 'keep it a loving secret and only use it in massively ambiguous situations' or 'take over everything' is loving dreaming. you would represent a unprecedented existential threat to the planet and just because you can stop time doesn't mean you can taste the polonium in your cereal

To be completely honest, there's a lot of dishonest business people where I live (in Asia) and I would just take everything out of their wallets when I'd see one of these guys on the street. They always have wallets full of bills, like huge stacks, and it would be really easy to live good here while robbing a few them of their nightly club/prostitute money. That's really all I would do, besides probably trip people in the street or smash some headlights on the cars of assholes who drive like poo poo.

Isn't bank money usually rigged with exploding ink packs? I'm not sure robbing armored trucks would be so easy. Also I bet they have a few tracer bills mixed in.

1. Go to a world class diamond mine. 2. Spend a few days or weeks or whatever plucking 20 million dollars in diamonds off the conveyer belt. 3. Go to that dumb park in Arkansas and "find" them.

Shoehead posted:Move the money before the dye pack explodes in non time Yeah but we've established that things directly interacted with in the time freeze can still operate (e.g. cars) so it makes since that something triggered by your actions would still happen. If you press the gas pedal the car accelerates and if you open the bag the trap is sprung, no? I don't think it's time inception where you can freeze time within frozen time.

Have you ever seen high speed footage of a water balloon bursting? I imagine the ink kind of hanging there like that while you try not to touch it. I also forget how they rig money with that though.. maybe you'd be better off opening some cash registers instead.

Well, that's the problem, the dye is inside the pack of money. So you touch the money while time is frozen, the money is touching the trap, the trap is touching the dye pack, which is touching the dye. So as soon as you interact with the money, the trap will unfreeze and go off. Any dye not touching anything after the pack goes off won't move, but that's like teeny tiny particles inbetween the layers of bills, so good luck not touching them.Cracking cash registers is probably a better option.

This sounds like its getting into anime fight territory. Our villain freezes time to walk into a building to kill our heroes. Gleefully abusing grunts on the way, he walks into the room where our Hero holds a piece of paper in his hand as the villain approaches them for the kill. However, the closer and closer they get, they start hacking blood and shaking. Reaching for the hero, they fall and end up grabbing the paper from the time-frozen hero. the villain reads it: "Kurosake, I studied your power and saw a weakness. You need to move to make use of your power, you need to breath. We took huge amounts of atropine to prepare for this fight as a precaution and have been flooding every sealed section of the the building an alternating parts of an ionized binary nerve gas agent with an extremely short half life. We'll be safe, but you won't be. You've been walking and breathing it in, you carried the one part of the component on your clothes, in your lungs and with your movements. When you broke through the seals between areas, you mixed them. For you, you've had all the time in the world to be exposing yourself to it, while we'll only be exposed to minor traces for a few seconds before we enter the code to flush the atmosphere. In conclusion, you've lost, Kurosake... Scene cuts to a dead body on the floor in front of our hero.

You can't just tell people you have time powers. You have to claim something else then use your time powers to fake it. Me, I'd become the world's greatest stage magician. Well. Maybe not the greatest. Some of those guys are pretty dang good, and I think really professional stage magic might beat real magic when it comes to wowing people. But I'd definitely be somewhere up there.

Moridin920 posted:what if you froze time and then looked around and there were tons of demon/monster things like out of some Stephen King novel there all looking at you being like 'human you're outside of your time' I'd probably get really excited and try to give them all hugs and offer to try and help with their time maintenance work thing - or at least try to come off as some sort of helpful if naive little critter. But my kindness and intense desire to know how the universe works would be pretty genuine. I'd do my very best not to come off as annoying in my fawning over and desire to help figure out solutions, but I'd probably be annoying anyways.
