It's midnight where I am, and I'm a little drunk (vacation, whoo)

Had a good "would you rather"

Would you rather:

A. Gain the ability to teleport, but you would blink out of existence for the amount of time required to fly there at conventional commercial airliner speeds. You wouldn't be aware of the time between teleporting and arriving, but time would pass for everyone else.

B. One hour of timestop per every 24 hours. You can move, interact with objects, you name it. 24 hours starts from the moment you first activate the timestop, relative to your perception of time. You can break up the hour however you'd like, but you can't carry over any remaining timestop into the next day. You age as normal during the timestop.

Theyre both good, but the time stop is much better. Itd make you very rich if nothing else.

Moving at 300mph would save both time and money. That's a pretty good deal

Do electronics like camera still run with time stop?

Oh hey, I see you on the WoW board. Didn't know you were a mod here.

That's what I would personally lean towards

Nope. Everything is "paused" besides you, and no instant death shenanigans from atoms/molecules not moving during the time stop

Teleport for me.

At inrealm travel the "but" issue isnt much of an issue.

You can drive from the left side of my country to the right one in just a few hours, around 20 minutes with this power.

So yeah thats quite valueably, for local travel alone.

...as for anything else, just gotta arrange things for a day trip.

I agree. Like. I could get to work basically instantaneously. And 14 hour travel times don't matter when you teleport right after work on a Friday afternoon.

You guys have all made me appreciate CE recently, so I'm here more often now.

I hate sitting in traffic so much and I feel like the 1 hour time stop would just get used for sleep.

Definitely the teleport. Commercial airlines travel between 460 and 575 mph. For short distance teleports that would be pretty damn quick. I'd get home from work in about 1 minute, instead of the 40-50 minutes it takes me now.

Time control (like in the movie Click but without consequences or aging) would be my #1 wish superpower. But in this case, 1 hour isn't long enough. That teleport, even though it isn't just a blink, is mighty tempting. Realistically you'd have to use it wisely though. You let the world know you can do that and you'd likely be assassinated by the government lol

You'll be able to breathe. Despite not following the laws of physics, it will be a time stop without physical consequences for yourself.

Hm.. I would say no objects larger than 2 additional people. You could probably teleport something as big as a motorcycle, but no larger.

Id imagine this would be good for something like, say, groceries. Definitely going with the teleportation. Although the second option is very tempting.

One thing I forgot to add is you do not age during teleportation. You DO age during time stop.

The teleportation thing, realistically, is going to get you killed at some point.
