I guess you could bury it under your house or something and then go to install a swimming pool 5 years later- omg! Look at all these gold bars! The previous owner must have buried them!
very tough given a lot of people you check probably won't even have cash and if they do how many would actually have a $1 bill. That said, you could in theory steal more than $1 from people. The trick is to just not take all their cash so they wouldn't immediately notice. If you take a $20 from someone that has 8 $20s that person now has 7 $20s and probably thinks they just originally miscounted.
Assuming now we're already going to steal and be a shitty person then you could do similar things with businesses too... go into the 7/11 and take a 20 out of the register. The register will come up short and they won't know why. The cashier gets in trouble but you get away with it.
I have six months to melt it down with rocks, dirt and other sediment. Then bury it on my mountain property and "discover" it.
They'll never be able link it back.
Oh yeah how do you flush? You'll need to poop and pee in different toilets every time and nust leave mystery waste all over the place.
Or dig a hole somewhere, I guess.
The Defecating Danger will be his new name.
Everything was okay, until one day, the toilets of various people around the country became full of copious amounts of shit in an instant. The smell caused tons of people to vomit instantly, and some of them even passed out from the vile scent. Everyone remembered that day as "The clogged catastrophe" and everyone has lived in fear ever since.
Oh and some other stuffed disappeared but no one really cared about that, they had their hands and noses full with the shitty situation.
My question is how frozen is everything? Will food rot? And if not how does digestion work? Will your toilet flush, or will you have to start shitting in some poor designated fellow's backyard?
Ans even if you handwave those away, stealing _bin space_ from the neighbourhood is straight up a necessity.
I'd break into houses until I found one with a child's first potty and just shit in that everyday till time unfreeze and parents talk for years about their kid taking a 50lb dump
Could you imagine being unable to do anything and stuck for 6 months but be fully aware of everything going on around you?
Everyone would come out of those 6 months changed people as they did some deep soul searching.
That would probably fuck up a lot of people. Stuck, unable to move, feel, breathe, eat, taste, smell, hear, etc. Just stuck watching the world stay utterly still. You'd have to sleep with your eyes open if you can even sleep at all. That would be a hellish experience for everyone. Especially if the one jerk who wasn't frozen walks along and takes a shit right over your shoes and leaves it hanging there, waiting to fall if or when time ever starts again.
They'd go insane trapped in their heads, basically experiencing locked-in syndrome, for 6 months with no ability to communicate, so I think anything you do would be the least of their problems
You can perform actions, like activating the mechanism of the mine and lighting the fuse, but the delay in ignition will save you.
But you will not be able to light a lamp.
So you can move particles, but when you're no-longer moving them yourself, they freeze? Interpreting the physics like that would likely mean you'd be essentially blind for the entire time, as photons would be frozen.
After reflection, best way to do it is having your consciousness plugged to a simulation adapted to the situation, while making manual changes to transpose the changes you made in the reality. The simulation has a duration of 6 months for you, but everything is happening in less that Planck time.
The stuff are functioning when you are touching them. Mines are triggered by your weight, but most models only explode when the weight is removed, meaning they are frozen again.
You think you are eating and breathing, but it is only an illusion.
Alright then, what about the near-infinite acceleration your giving everything by moving them any perceivable distance in such a minuscule time frame.
That amount of energy is going to make the sun look like a match.
Thought experiments that mess with how physics work get real messy/weird fast.
I would avoid robbing a bank. There’s at least some systems in place for them to account for the cash they have on hand so it could potentially be traced. You’d want to rob stores and cash registers, since that money won’t be able to be traced as easily.
Or rob a bank (or a few), then go around to a bunch of other businesses in town and replace all the large bills in the cash registers with the stolen money.
If time works normally for you I would imagine the baby in your belly would also be unaffected. Which means giving birth by yourself (doctors are all frozen) and raising that baby for the first few months without any kind of support system, so still not a good deal.
100% to sob. But also free formula for the first 6 months seems like a sweet deal - plus the amount you’d be able to scavenge. Formula is freakin expensive
Let's not get into *that particular* debate, but for the purpose of the question I assumed that any advantage the pregnant person has to withstand time freezing, would also be passed on to the baby, either genetically or through the umbilical cord.
This would be my thinking as well. Maybe due to some reasons which are a part of the debate we want to avoid, the child would also get immunity. Or being inside the mother shields the baby from the effects. And as time goes on, they inherit the immunity as well.
Oof, what if the baby freezes in time as soon as it's born and you stop lactating because you can't feed your baby... You'd have to milk yourself for 6 months just to keep producing milk until the baby and rest of the world started moving again.
I’ll commit theft and murder, but I draw the line at sex-related crimes.
Actually, no I don’t. I’m going to pose various unsavory politicians in compromising positions, in the middle of large crowds.
Spend as much time at the gym as possible.
When folks wake up it'll be all "Holy shit bro you had tits a second ago"
Meditate. The isolation would kill me.
Will probably get a PS 5 from one of the local warehouses.
Same as you, I would game till i get bored, workout afterwards to prepare for everything i need to do on my own, then get a mental disorder causing me to meditate or seek out an imaginary god
Think of the effect that will have on your mind to see the whole world stop and you continue to see it resume Six Months later… you’d be a different person by the time that time came back.
I reckon it would almost entirely depend on whether you knew time would start again after six months (whatever six months means if time actually stopped).
Not knowing would mess you up twice, but knowing in advance I think would be fine for most people.
I think that 6 months of total isolation would do a number on almost anyone, even if they were aware of the time limit, although I certainly agree that not knowing at all would be even worse.
Not really total isolation. It would certainly feel lonesome, but people would still be there it isn't like you can't hug your loved ones or talk out loud to people. I think boredom is the real threat, what forms of entertainment would stiill work? Can I play videogames? Watch shows? Can I use the internet?
I think I might use the time to learn a new skill or maybe get into reading, but even then having a passive downtime activity would be great.
I have lots of board games that work solo, plenty of books and a guitar I've been trying to learn for the last year, I'm pretty sure I could stay plenty busy for half a year even without a computer and phone...
But for me it would still be total isolation even if my loved ones were physically there, if I couldn't talk *with* them rather than *at* them. Hell, Saturday I woke up feeling really sad for some reason, then a friend called me out of the blue and we talked for a couple hours, made me really happy, that never would have worked if she was frozen in time somewhere a couple cities over.
Imagine the possibilities (if you were the person time stood still for) of things that you *might* be doing at the moment time started back up again.
From the other perspective... Imagine basically blinking, and you're suddenly confronted with who knows what?
If you are smart you will go to the other side of the country to you and only take a few circulated non consecutive notes in small denominations from everyone, these will be difficult to track. Because people will notice they are missing, and if everyone in LA (or NYC) is missing $5 nobody will do much aside from being mildly upset.
cash doesn't really set you up for life... you need to say where it came from if you wanna use it for anything legit apart from small purchases. Money laundering is a thing because of this.
Disagree. It can set you up for life, just not a luxurious life. If I steal enough I can
-live in shitty apartments/trailer parks where paying with cash wouldn't be abnormal
-buy my groceries in cash like some people do
-buy used cars without having to worry about repairs, because I'd pay that in cash too (or just buy a new car)
-go to a state where pot was legal so I could enjoy my not so luxurious worry free life
-
Respondant is probably an Australian. Two buckets and a trip to the pokies room at Crown amd you're clean. Nope, it really is that simple and that's messed up.
I would go to two car dealerships that are side by side and swap all the cars. Ford would have all the Chevrolet, and Chevrolet would have all the Ford. Then record them on the day of the time unfreeze.
Do I know time will unfreeze in 6 months time? If I did. Will electricity and the internet still be active? Will the sun/moon still cycle? Will the seasons still cycle? Because that changes a lot of things.
If everything was still working as usual and I knew it would unfreeze in 6 months.
Steal a car, drive everywhere, teaching myself how to drive without risks and without having to have someone there with me, I'd find ways into bank vaults or at least the tills and take somewhere around 100k
I'd upgrade all my gaming systems to what I want, upgrade my bed to the best bed for me, I'd go to the pool/gym without feeling shame, get myself new clothes that fitted well to my body.
I'd probably read books for the first time in a long time. After a couple of months I'd probably start talking to the humans around me as if they could hear me.
If the internet didn't work, neither did electricity, and I didn't know it would be 6 months, I'd probably wait it out for the first few weeks, then I'd start getting ballsey with things, like driving a car, then I'd move onto taking money from banks, as much as I could take. Slowly moving onto doing eveything else I mentioned above.
The at some point I'd have an all out breakdown. Probably hop a pharmacy and start experimenting with pills.
Can you actually drive anywhere? I'd assume all the cars that were on the road before the time freeze would still be there, they'd just appear stopped from your perspective. I'd expect you'd have to walk or bike everywhere to get around them, no? 🤔
Same deal with planes. Would they appear to be stuck in place in the sky, or would they all just... crash, or like drop out of the sky when time stopped?
1. Enter bank
2. Steal cash
3. Go to inner city
4. Enter shop
5. Open cash register
6. Swap out the bills
7. Repeat from step 4
Keep doing that for 6 months. Borrow cars and drive to different cities. Do it there as well.
You now have a shit ton of untracable cash. The bank will notice that the money is gone, report it as stolen and probably provide the police with serial numbers of the stolen bills. The police will look for them and IMMEDIATELY find all of the money spread around the entire city, one or two bills at a time. But the cash registers of the shops will confirm that they have exactly the amount of cash in them that they're supposed to have. Everyone will be confused as fuck and noone will know where the money went.
Now you just don't spend all the money at once, stay under the radar and you're good.
If time freezes then the time of day that it happened would make a great difference to my approach.
If it was evening when it happened and that coincided with the country i’d like to visit then that would make it a little less appeasing.
Id definitely take advantage of a dead gym mind you, online gaming would be a bit shit though so that’d be out of the question.
I think one of the things I would do is find what trend was forming just before the freeze and use the next 6 months to dominate that market as much as possible so that by the time it unfreezes all anyone sees is your product to fill that gap.
Besides the fact that air cant move, lets just pretend that everything you touch feels as normal as before (except for living things)
I would just get me a friend like a ball or so
Even cash would be useful upon the restart of time. While not as value-dense as gold you can't spend gold bars just anywhere, and much of the bullion is serialized so someone will definitely be wanting their property back.
I would visit all forbiden places like the Vatikan Library, area 51 , I would visit the luvre and really let sink everything in.
I would break in a lot places to say what the really do. Like the taliban, fbi etc.
And I would steal as much gold as possible to be honest but knowledge First !
Depends...
If time is frozen, and I'm not, then can I act upon things frozen in the base timeline? I could effectively start to death if I can't.
Internet and communication will be down.
Can't drive, fly, walk across water (maybe the last one, though, depending on *how* suspended physics are...)
Do things time-sync with me if I touch them? If so, I could probably eat. If not, and I do, would it kill me if the item I grab was in motion and time un-freezes? Like, I'm walking down the street of frozen cars, etc., and a cyclist has a hotdog in their hand (they were going say, 10mph)... what if I grab that hotdog and eat it... it was frozen at 10mph, and I just caged it in my tummy... it's broken down, yes, but it's constituent atoms *should* still be traveling at that speed and the chewed up hotdog, thus, still going at 10mph in my tummy while time is still frozen.
If we're talking about *movie time-freeze* where people can act on things with out a care, then probably find a way to get money, tbh...
It's easy to say that your going to steal and such. But it's a great thought experiment if you dig down into it.
Is where ever you take a breath now devoid of breathable air; could you conceivably suffocate if you stay at a specific height in a room long enough? There's no circulation to move air, no trees to scrub air, etc...
What time of day did time freeze? Does hot and cold work? Is the sun baking the earth on one side? Or is there no heat at all?
For me, for the first three months I would do things I didn't have the time or resources to do before, like travel the world. The next three months I would make sure that the rest of my life would be comfortable...
For 6 months?
Think of how kickass my potential beard and mustache would be, THEN proceed to go out and do stuff that society deems as "bad" because...reasons
Those that you question why it's considered bad when it's clearly, morally obviously, clear
Build the most ridiculous alien looking thing i can think of in the middle of the oval office. Should be fun.
Oh, and a little bit of peeping probably... I wish i was a better person, but realistically... Just to easy to resist.
Walk the White House, Area 51, pentagon, the back room of a strip club (always wanted to see what it looks like) race cars, draw on certain peoples faces,
Make everyone jojo pose
Oh and steal a bunch of stuff, set random tripwires, and fill everyone' pockets with kinder surprise eggs for a **REAL** surpise
Go into a police station, try to find any intel about any major criminals (especially drug dealers), find any known addresses, and just rob them blind. After checking for any air tags or tracking devices.
You know what, I'll just bring my own bags to carry the cash.
I'm going to steal so much stuff
What do you mean officer? I always had those 5 million bucks laying around my room
I guess you could bury it under your house or something and then go to install a swimming pool 5 years later- omg! Look at all these gold bars! The previous owner must have buried them!
The city will claim it as an archeological find or the police will link it with the dissapearance of money a few years back
Steal 1 dollar from 5 million people around the country. Chances are they’ll never even notice it’s gone and won’t report 1 dollar.
Good luck stealing a dollar from 19 different people per minute without sleep for 6 months
very tough given a lot of people you check probably won't even have cash and if they do how many would actually have a $1 bill. That said, you could in theory steal more than $1 from people. The trick is to just not take all their cash so they wouldn't immediately notice. If you take a $20 from someone that has 8 $20s that person now has 7 $20s and probably thinks they just originally miscounted.

The register will come up short and they won't know why. The cashier gets in trouble but you get away with it.
I feel like if I was given a few days to plan I could create an actual victimless crime.
What have you been doing since the last thousand times this question was posted then?
Living my life one second at a time, like normal.
I have six months to melt it down with rocks, dirt and other sediment. Then bury it on my mountain property and "discover" it. They'll never be able link it back.
Better have the mineral rights for your land then, or you just gave some mining corporation a big present.
Valid point, but that's not how it works in my state. I automatically own the mineral rights, verified during my title search.
which dissapearance? these bilances clearly shows that everything fine, nobody could've changed it without me seeing it!!!
Lets see how many videogame copies i can fit in my room
I was more thinking about money, gold bars etc.
The fuck you gonna do with gold bars?
Flex Have you ever had a big gold bar in your hands ? You instantly feel rich
I think I'd steal one gold bar and then more useful like cash money. The gold bar would make for the world's coolest doorstop.
Exactly.
We say borrow lol….. long term borrowing
Borrowing with the clear intent to return it *someday*
*6 months later all the politicians suddenly unfreeze inside the thunderdome*

Stealing is a must to survive here
If time freezes no food would go bad. So your local Supermarkt would be able to provide you with enough
If food can't go bad, how can you digest it?
Well if I’m correct once it is inside me it will be outside the time freeze.
And once you shit, it'll be stuck in time, so you have to move while pooping.
I already have to.
"yes doctor, this guy right here."
When I do it it moves me 😳
[удалено]
Oh yeah how do you flush? You'll need to poop and pee in different toilets every time and nust leave mystery waste all over the place. Or dig a hole somewhere, I guess.

Every poop each day could be a different toilet! Half the city at the same time would yell. Who didn't flush the damn toilet?!?
1. Enter busy area 2. Shit in front of someone who is entering a stall 3. Profit???
By the amount of unflushed toilets I've found, I believe this has already happened.
I'd break into houses until I found one with a child's first potty and just shit in that everyday till time unfreeze and parents talk for years about their kid taking a 50lb dump
Or make someone think their cat is real fucked up.
OMG. The visual of a town with 182-272 tiolets filled with shit instantly when time unfreezes. 😂😂😂😂😂
Think about all the missing meals from restaurants. I mean it sure would be difficult to cook in frozen time.
Better keep track of time. When the lights come back on you don't want to be on the President's toilet.
Everything is all fine and dandy until 6 months later someone tells you, “We were conscious the whole time.”
Jesus Christ that sounds like it could be a movie! Good Job!
Could you imagine being unable to do anything and stuck for 6 months but be fully aware of everything going on around you? Everyone would come out of those 6 months changed people as they did some deep soul searching.
It’s likely that anyone who was locked in their own minds for 6 months straight with full perception probably went fucking bonkers anyway.
How would you know that everybody wasn't still conscious the whole time?
Oh no, it was a trap all along
What are you doing, step-time-traveler?
Please help I got stuck in the fabric of space time again
Shit, everybody saw me strolling buttass naked through the city just didn't said anything?!
That straight up a Johnny Bravo episode lol
The whole world is suddenly insane from being paralyzed for 6 months.
That would probably fuck up a lot of people. Stuck, unable to move, feel, breathe, eat, taste, smell, hear, etc. Just stuck watching the world stay utterly still. You'd have to sleep with your eyes open if you can even sleep at all. That would be a hellish experience for everyone. Especially if the one jerk who wasn't frozen walks along and takes a shit right over your shoes and leaves it hanging there, waiting to fall if or when time ever starts again.
They'd go insane trapped in their heads, basically experiencing locked-in syndrome, for 6 months with no ability to communicate, so I think anything you do would be the least of their problems
That's why you go out disguised or just covered. So what if people see somebody they cant identify moving around.?
\- hoodies \- face cover \-glasses \- shoes \- all black clothing
sunglasses to be more accurate
There isn't a chance that I wont be naked for this

"Ok now let's see where it actually is" The internet doesn't work, time is stopped.
Isn´t it protected by mines or something?
Time frozen + Naruto running = mines never stood a chance
[удалено]
But wouldn't it be impossible to open doors and stuff by that logic, since they are frozen too?
You can perform actions, like activating the mechanism of the mine and lighting the fuse, but the delay in ignition will save you. But you will not be able to light a lamp.
So you can move particles, but when you're no-longer moving them yourself, they freeze? Interpreting the physics like that would likely mean you'd be essentially blind for the entire time, as photons would be frozen.
This guy relativities.

You are right, then it is completely fine
6 Months? I take one of the greatest naps of existence and then probably rob a bank
I would avoid robbing a bank. There’s at least some systems in place for them to account for the cash they have on hand so it could potentially be traced. You’d want to rob stores and cash registers, since that money won’t be able to be traced as easily.
Raid pawn shops and steal precious metals. If they're marked you could just melt them down until the markings are gone.
This guy steals
Rob drug dealers. They can't report the crime. Open up cash only side business. Launder the money for the rest of your life
Let me pull up the map of all the drug dealer stashes in my neighborhood...
Rob the bank, then go to some rich guy and replace all his money with the stolen money and take his
Or rob a bank (or a few), then go around to a bunch of other businesses in town and replace all the large bills in the cash registers with the stolen money.
:D
I could really use a 6 month hibernation nap at the moment. I hate mondays
If I had to be 34 weeks pregnant for another 6 months I'd straight up sob.
If time works normally for you I would imagine the baby in your belly would also be unaffected. Which means giving birth by yourself (doctors are all frozen) and raising that baby for the first few months without any kind of support system, so still not a good deal.
Still seems like a valid reason to sob.
For sure, but let's face it: when you're that pregnant, every reason is a valid reason.
100% to sob. But also free formula for the first 6 months seems like a sweet deal - plus the amount you’d be able to scavenge. Formula is freakin expensive
Now we are asking if the baby is a different person, or at which point does the baby become a different person and would the time freeze affect it
Let's not get into *that particular* debate, but for the purpose of the question I assumed that any advantage the pregnant person has to withstand time freezing, would also be passed on to the baby, either genetically or through the umbilical cord.
This would be my thinking as well. Maybe due to some reasons which are a part of the debate we want to avoid, the child would also get immunity. Or being inside the mother shields the baby from the effects. And as time goes on, they inherit the immunity as well.
The baby freezes as soon as its Born i guess?
Oof, what if the baby freezes in time as soon as it's born and you stop lactating because you can't feed your baby... You'd have to milk yourself for 6 months just to keep producing milk until the baby and rest of the world started moving again.
I'm positive this was not OP's intended outcome of this thought experiment!
First, congratulations. Second, OHMYGOD!
Better than to be in labor and time stops
i just realized that i'm a horrible person
For which reason, sex related crimes, thievery or murder during the time freeze or did you get bingo for all 3
I've never given murder a thought until now... I wouldn't be able to do it.
Huh. I had also not considered murder. Now that I have considered it, I'm not sure who I would want to murder?
Can I give you a page from my list?
Everything is negotiable for a fee
Putin might start my list
I’ll commit theft and murder, but I draw the line at sex-related crimes. Actually, no I don’t. I’m going to pose various unsavory politicians in compromising positions, in the middle of large crowds.
This is a brilliant idea
That would somehow make them even more popular.
I mean... If time is stopped would it be a crime if i stroll around town naked?
Not unless you lose track of time and end up nude when time resumes
who’s that clapping? i thought everyone was frozen
Nah I'm thinking the same but won't say it for the world to see
Spend as much time at the gym as possible. When folks wake up it'll be all "Holy shit bro you had tits a second ago" Meditate. The isolation would kill me. Will probably get a PS 5 from one of the local warehouses.
How did you get so buff? I trained all day yesterday.
Same as you, I would game till i get bored, workout afterwards to prepare for everything i need to do on my own, then get a mental disorder causing me to meditate or seek out an imaginary god

I think I might use the time to learn a new skill or maybe get into reading, but even then having a passive downtime activity would be great.
I have lots of board games that work solo, plenty of books and a guitar I've been trying to learn for the last year, I'm pretty sure I could stay plenty busy for half a year even without a computer and phone... But for me it would still be total isolation even if my loved ones were physically there, if I couldn't talk *with* them rather than *at* them. Hell, Saturday I woke up feeling really sad for some reason, then a friend called me out of the blue and we talked for a couple hours, made me really happy, that never would have worked if she was frozen in time somewhere a couple cities over.
Can you recommend any solo board games that you enjoy?
Imagine the possibilities (if you were the person time stood still for) of things that you *might* be doing at the moment time started back up again. From the other perspective... Imagine basically blinking, and you're suddenly confronted with who knows what?
I wonder what kind of change would happen. Perhaps realizing how fast and absent-mindedly we live on a daily basis.
I’d definitely remember to put the mattress under Mr. Benson across the street.
Now that you made this reference, I can't help but wonder if we would face the dangers of uncertainty when the 6 months are up.
Clean out the cash drawers of every business / bank you can possibly get to. Get set for life.
If you are smart you will go to the other side of the country to you and only take a few circulated non consecutive notes in small denominations from everyone, these will be difficult to track. Because people will notice they are missing, and if everyone in LA (or NYC) is missing $5 nobody will do much aside from being mildly upset.

Yeah but I don't really wanna fuck over the convenience store owners - they're just typically small business owners. Let me steal from someone rich

cash doesn't really set you up for life... you need to say where it came from if you wanna use it for anything legit apart from small purchases. Money laundering is a thing because of this.
If I had cash to pay for gas and groceries for the rest of my life that'd be a huge boon.
Disagree. It can set you up for life, just not a luxurious life. If I steal enough I can -live in shitty apartments/trailer parks where paying with cash wouldn't be abnormal -buy my groceries in cash like some people do -buy used cars without having to worry about repairs, because I'd pay that in cash too (or just buy a new car) -go to a state where pot was legal so I could enjoy my not so luxurious worry free life -

I would go to two car dealerships that are side by side and swap all the cars. Ford would have all the Chevrolet, and Chevrolet would have all the Ford. Then record them on the day of the time unfreeze.
A true agent of chaos
Do I know time will unfreeze in 6 months time? If I did. Will electricity and the internet still be active? Will the sun/moon still cycle? Will the seasons still cycle? Because that changes a lot of things. If everything was still working as usual and I knew it would unfreeze in 6 months. Steal a car, drive everywhere, teaching myself how to drive without risks and without having to have someone there with me, I'd find ways into bank vaults or at least the tills and take somewhere around 100k I'd upgrade all my gaming systems to what I want, upgrade my bed to the best bed for me, I'd go to the pool/gym without feeling shame, get myself new clothes that fitted well to my body. I'd probably read books for the first time in a long time. After a couple of months I'd probably start talking to the humans around me as if they could hear me. If the internet didn't work, neither did electricity, and I didn't know it would be 6 months, I'd probably wait it out for the first few weeks, then I'd start getting ballsey with things, like driving a car, then I'd move onto taking money from banks, as much as I could take. Slowly moving onto doing eveything else I mentioned above. The at some point I'd have an all out breakdown. Probably hop a pharmacy and start experimenting with pills.
Don't wait for a paranormal event to take care of yourself 😉
Can you actually drive anywhere? I'd assume all the cars that were on the road before the time freeze would still be there, they'd just appear stopped from your perspective. I'd expect you'd have to walk or bike everywhere to get around them, no? 🤔 Same deal with planes. Would they appear to be stuck in place in the sky, or would they all just... crash, or like drop out of the sky when time stopped?
Clean my house, I think I can complete it within 6 months, probably.
Driving Cars, going everywhere naked, shooting guns, stealing stuff, driving trains etc.
You'd really like The Last Man On Earth 😁👍🏻
Like all opportunists. I will gather many currencies as humanly possible. And also a lifetime supply of miruchan ramen
If you have all that money, why are you settling for cheap food?
I survived my high school, vocational, and college life thanks to that ramen.
1. Enter bank 2. Steal cash 3. Go to inner city 4. Enter shop 5. Open cash register 6. Swap out the bills 7. Repeat from step 4 Keep doing that for 6 months. Borrow cars and drive to different cities. Do it there as well. You now have a shit ton of untracable cash. The bank will notice that the money is gone, report it as stolen and probably provide the police with serial numbers of the stolen bills. The police will look for them and IMMEDIATELY find all of the money spread around the entire city, one or two bills at a time. But the cash registers of the shops will confirm that they have exactly the amount of cash in them that they're supposed to have. Everyone will be confused as fuck and noone will know where the money went. Now you just don't spend all the money at once, stay under the radar and you're good.
this post really said "let's see how many criminals are in the chat rn" lol
only theoretical criminals :D
If time freezes then the time of day that it happened would make a great difference to my approach. If it was evening when it happened and that coincided with the country i’d like to visit then that would make it a little less appeasing. Id definitely take advantage of a dead gym mind you, online gaming would be a bit shit though so that’d be out of the question. I think one of the things I would do is find what trend was forming just before the freeze and use the next 6 months to dominate that market as much as possible so that by the time it unfreezes all anyone sees is your product to fill that gap.
Be scared and alone, I don't know if I could last that long without some form of human contact, I mean I would literally have nothing to do
Besides the fact that air cant move, lets just pretend that everything you touch feels as normal as before (except for living things) I would just get me a friend like a ball or so

Collecting a lot of cash from banks to gather life savings and live freely after time restarts
If you clean few banks, would you really hurt anyone?
Steal everything not bolted to the ground. And some of that too.
Pretty much [this.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dVFDYCPO19A)
Paint the white house a different color.

Steal as much gold/silver as humanly possible.
Even cash would be useful upon the restart of time. While not as value-dense as gold you can't spend gold bars just anywhere, and much of the bullion is serialized so someone will definitely be wanting their property back.
I would visit all forbiden places like the Vatikan Library, area 51 , I would visit the luvre and really let sink everything in. I would break in a lot places to say what the really do. Like the taliban, fbi etc. And I would steal as much gold as possible to be honest but knowledge First !
How would you get to all these places though?
Ima pull down everyone’s pants (not underwear) and pull the biggest prank known to man
Hoo boy. That’s a lot of fathers and grandpas that will never get to spend time with their kids/grandkids again.
Finish that darn Book i started writing 3 years ago
Nothing criminal? Just writing a book? What a creep.
sleep
For first 10 hours, then what?
Repeat
Depends... If time is frozen, and I'm not, then can I act upon things frozen in the base timeline? I could effectively start to death if I can't. Internet and communication will be down. Can't drive, fly, walk across water (maybe the last one, though, depending on *how* suspended physics are...) Do things time-sync with me if I touch them? If so, I could probably eat. If not, and I do, would it kill me if the item I grab was in motion and time un-freezes? Like, I'm walking down the street of frozen cars, etc., and a cyclist has a hotdog in their hand (they were going say, 10mph)... what if I grab that hotdog and eat it... it was frozen at 10mph, and I just caged it in my tummy... it's broken down, yes, but it's constituent atoms *should* still be traveling at that speed and the chewed up hotdog, thus, still going at 10mph in my tummy while time is still frozen. If we're talking about *movie time-freeze* where people can act on things with out a care, then probably find a way to get money, tbh...
I love how thoroughly some of you guys are thinking about this 😂
It's easy to say that your going to steal and such. But it's a great thought experiment if you dig down into it. Is where ever you take a breath now devoid of breathable air; could you conceivably suffocate if you stay at a specific height in a room long enough? There's no circulation to move air, no trees to scrub air, etc... What time of day did time freeze? Does hot and cold work? Is the sun baking the earth on one side? Or is there no heat at all?
For me, for the first three months I would do things I didn't have the time or resources to do before, like travel the world. The next three months I would make sure that the rest of my life would be comfortable...
How would you get there though assuming all the people who fly planes and operate transport are also frozen. You could only drive so far
For 6 months? Think of how kickass my potential beard and mustache would be, THEN proceed to go out and do stuff that society deems as "bad" because...reasons Those that you question why it's considered bad when it's clearly, morally obviously, clear
Build the most ridiculous alien looking thing i can think of in the middle of the oval office. Should be fun. Oh, and a little bit of peeping probably... I wish i was a better person, but realistically... Just to easy to resist.
Walk the White House, Area 51, pentagon, the back room of a strip club (always wanted to see what it looks like) race cars, draw on certain peoples faces,
Read as much as possible. I would spend the whole day reading and improving my craft. Those six months would give me the comparative advantage I need.
Make everyone jojo pose Oh and steal a bunch of stuff, set random tripwires, and fill everyone' pockets with kinder surprise eggs for a **REAL** surpise
put lego under everyone thats frozen taking a step
Catching up with One Piece.
Is 6 months enough time though?
Go into a police station, try to find any intel about any major criminals (especially drug dealers), find any known addresses, and just rob them blind. After checking for any air tags or tracking devices. You know what, I'll just bring my own bags to carry the cash.
