Here are some ground rules:
-Time stops, everything freezes, and everything returns to normal when you unfreeze time. People will obviously notice if things have moved or if you have moved
-You will age when time is frozen. I see no way around this, your heart is still beating and whatnot. So if you freeze too much time, people are going to think you have aged very quickly
-You cannot bring anyone with you in the frozen time world, it's just you

So what would you do? One thing that I think would be difficult is transportation. It would be very hard to drive because the roads would be full of "parked" cars. Seems like biking or a motorcycle might be the way to go.

Anyway, would you do good things? Bad things? Robin Hood type things that could fall into a grey area?

I would like to say I would do good things, but I would almost certainly just steal everything that I would normally buy at any store. Plus probably everything that Nigmaetcetera said.

This would also be good for taking naps, but I would try not to abuse that since I would still be aging.

Assuming you don't live near DC, how would you get there? It seems to me it would almost impossible to travel long distances. An exception of course would be if you could fly a plane, but not sure how that would work with no air traffic controllers and planes just hanging in the air and whatnot?

now youve got me confused, so if we're unfrozen, can we bring things out of frozenness or whatever

if i walk up to a car, can i not open the door, turn it on, steal it and drive it?

do it
Every time I met a guy for the first time I'd freeze time and jerk him off until he was just a split second from finishing then unfreeze time so right as he looked in my eyes he'd jizz in his pants and even if he were straight it would be hard not to question those kind of results.

No, you could steal a car and drive it, but it would be very hard to drive with cars all over the road that aren't moving.

Take a flipping plane to DC, freeze time, fart, unfreeze time.

You gave us the power to freeze and unfreeze.

Is doing a normal thing such a chore?

Go there first then freeze time, obviously. Wait, can we only freeze time once? Because if so that's a pretty lame wish fulfillment fantasy. I'd be using it several times a day, and send videos of myself demonstrating my powers to news agencies all over the world. The video would end with me saying "All nations have 48 hours to surrender and cede control of their governments to me, The Time Master Chronos". If they didn't let's just say their politicians heads would start to have a tendency towards spontaneously falling off in public.

Well I guess you could do that, but you'd have to spend hundreds of dollars on plane tickets. Your money though!

No you can definitely use it however many times you want. I'm just thinking that most of us don't have time to just fly to random places on normal days when time is unfrozen, so it would be preferable to travel when time is frozen, but much more difficult.

If EVERYTHING is frozen, like planets stop turnin, everyone else's blood stops pumping, food stops bein digested etc, would bottoms still even have a smell? Like would the cool molecules that make bottoms worth smelling even be released?

I bet you'd get one good whiff and then that's it, gotta move on :(

How would one get rich the quickest? You'd still have barriers to vaults, brinks trucks aren't carrying that much money. Robbing some stores means you'd have to sell that poo poo on eBay and CL and gently caress that. I'd be too lazy to utilize this power beyond just stealing a bunch of stuff I'd like, but then I could just use my credit card right now if I really wanted stuff.

Yes, making large amounts of money would be interesting... gambling would probably be the way to go. You could also bet large amounts on sporting events and then personally walk on the field and gently caress with the results. Like loosen the ball in the RB's hands so he fumbles, etc. That would be a little more difficult I guess since gambling is only legal in Las Vegas.

Blackjack would be pretty easy to cheat at, but they'd probably kick you out before you could make like super serious money.

Poker might work better, but it would take longer.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Pervert stuff obviously.

Ah but riddle me this, if you can only take yourself into stopped-time-continuity, how do you expect to do anything with any other physical object? To move or manipulate things you need force over time. You wouldn't even be able to move through the atmosphere if time is totally stopped for everything else.

The only way I see it as even remotely doable would be to ensure a small radius around you is enveloped within your termporal "things can happen here" zone.

Yeah, you basically have to use a cheat code for this... But since no one has ever frozen time before we'll just say it's one of those weird cosmic things where you can actually still move everything.... yep.
