Time freezes for everyone but you for one day...

this very conceit is the theme of the seminal work The Fermata by Nicholson Baker.

Suffocate and die, because Oxygen wouldn't be able to enter my lungs.
1) Go to Pizza hut and take a few pizzas
2) Go to Central London and rob a bank and maybe some jewels and maybe some things from Victoria Secret

:colone:
the amount of people that would just go around drawing dicks on people's faces is gonna be pretty high
Watch Kdramas the whole bloody day.
I'm not that creative, tbh. Just obsessed with finishing each hour-long episode like the loser i am.
Go around town, having fun at people - dressing boys up in girl's clothes etc.

...what do you do?


Take a pic of me making out with Emma Watson. It would be a real photo so the instagram kudos would be off the charts, and coz of the time freeze Emma would have no way to prove it was real so no lawsuit.

Everyone's a winner.

@Pickles exactly what I said. Also what happens about gravity? Does the Earth stop rotating? Does the sun continue to burn? Do planes stay airborne?

I assume without time, gravity would have no effect. Acceleration = (distance/time)/time, if time was 0, acceleration due to gravity would be an impossible answer (can't divide by zero). Therefore f=ma wouldn't work.

Also you'd be blind unless you were moving foward as photons of light wouldn't enter your eyes naturally.

Gravity isn't affected, planes and people falling from the sky, remain exactly where they are. The Earth stops rotating the sun is still lit and maintains warmth for the day.
A high level of theft would occur.

In that case, selfie with the Queen :colone:
Enjoy the silence and appreciate how good life is.

That'd be classic - she'll look like she's in Madame Tussaud's.

Well, realistically just roam around bored.

But I'd want to stealborrow a Eurofighter (or other stupidly fast jet) and disarm all the nukes in the world

Pickles, you initially specified that time is frozen for people, but you have now introduced some additional laws of this strange day.

If the Earth stops rotating; my time would be spent really worrying about what is about to happen when time unfreezes.

How would you disarm the nukes in the world with a Eurofighter?

The Eurofighter is merely a quick way of getting to them.

Do you plan on flying into the sea?
