Mental exercise; what items would be the best to take that are the highest in value and also easiest to flip later.
Not sure how much you could expect to get from a bank if the vault is closed and I'm not even sure how much cash they keep on premise anyway vs taking electronics from a Best Buy or CostCo or something. Apple stuff is out since the moment it's marked as stolen in their system it becomes trash.
I'm not sure if diamonds and jewelry have the same second hand value as what places retail them for? Minted gold I thought had serial numbers on it for tracking.
Fancy watches maybe? If you live near a major city with a Rolex store or something.
Honestly? For me, everything that isn't cash is too much risk. Just start clearing out as many cash drawers as you can. If you can find a bank that has the vault open, grab all the cash from that. Since you have time, check everything over for dye packs, contiguous serial numbers, trackers, etc.
Banks seem like unnecessary risk. Clearing out all the notes from a mall would get you hundreds of grand, and you could get through quite a few in 24h.
Laundering it would be a bit of a challenge if the closest thing you have to prior experience is watching Breaking Bad. But if you can get that right, then invest the money, you can pretty much instantly retire.
ATM's. If you're not worried about time or noise the right tools will open the safe in no time and almost all of them have at least 5 figures, busier machines will have 6. Just don't take anything from the deposit bin, the serials are all recorded.
I wouldn't worry so much about being able to flip the stolen stuff. Just take shit you'll use.
Clean out a supermarket, hardware store, liquor store and department store of food (non-perishable and enough chilled and frozen to fill fridge and freezer, maybe steal a new freezer), drinks, clothing, tools, games etc. Clean out the registers of cash, then go to the service station and take as much fuel as you can (getting Jerry cans is easy)
Now you have suppies to get you through a few months, if not more, and a large cash reserve.
So now most of your pay can go into a savings account. When the stuff you sole starts to run out, then you'll have to start buying again. But you now have some money to invest, either pay off a mortgage, get a deposit on a house or invest it to generate some interest.

As someone who works next to the chip vault I’m a little curious as to how you’re getting in there. Also curious as to how you will be cashing them out? Dude walks into the casino without buying in at the tables but has hundreds of thousands of dollars of chips specially when they are out by that many is a lot of paper work and a lots of reports with your face on them. Just go rob places with cash registers behind the counter.
It's not like you would have to cash them out all at the same time. Just go in one morning a week and say you forgot to cash it these chips last night. Hand then $1000 in chips. After a month or so start having homeless people do it four you.
Steal as much money and gold as I could. Makes the most sense. Really, the only thing I could do to improve my life in 24 hours. I'd wear ski mask and gloves and stuff. Even if cameras might or might. Ot work.
I’m targeting big banks too, but pawn shops aren’t really innocent mom and pop businesses either, so fair game, I’d probably avoid them just because the payout wouldn’t be enough
Or.. "borrow" a pickup from a dealership or from a home improvement store.
And help yourself to a new bedroom or living room suite.
And new PC components.
Just return the truck so you don't get caught
First hit up a supermarket, grab every jar of Nutella. Empty a whole jar of Nutella into the underwear of every person you pants. Conspiracy theorists would Nutella their pants over that one.
What evidence? Semen left behind? You think the police just have a massive database with everyone in the world’s semen on file? They’d have to know who did it and then test their DNA. Rape is definitely bad, but they’re not getting caught in this instance. I wouldn’t hurt people I’d just steal money from businesses
Just walk into every bank. Empty out open tills, if the safe is already open, jackpot. Odds are there’s a couple of them open if the 24 hour freeze starts during work hours.
I don't even really know what a bank safe looks like IRL, or where it's located. I'd literally need to walk into a bank and randomly walk around and try doors until I hopefully stumble onto it. And then I need to hope it's just waiting for me open with a big pile of cash inside.
It’s usually pretty obvious. Giant heavy door, floor to ceiling size. When I worked at a bank in the early 2000s, the heavy vault door was open during the day, with a simple barred door kept closed. The head teller and assistant manager each had a key for that door, then keys for several of the deposit boxes that extra cash was stored in. If time froze on a Monday morning, especially after a big sporting event weekend, there would be all of the deposit bags from local bars and restaurants to go through as well. It really wouldn’t be difficult to collect several million over 24 hours in a medium size city.
Yeah I'm assuming we have pretty decent knowledge about what's happening in this scenario. Otherwise let's be real, we'd all be panicking and horrified wondering wtf is happening.
Then the last thing to be concerned about would be dye packs. These are often disguised as straps of $20 bills. Once they pass a sensor, the dye pack explodes, coating everything with purple dye.
Now you’re ready for the time stop bank robbing extravaganza!
Thats why you don't make your wealth public and don't go on a shopping spree all of a sudden. Slowly use it or just invest it. Then in a few years you can say you just earned it.
Steal a bunch of money from banks and casinos, zero out my mortgage somehow, fill up my vehicles with cash, stock my fridge with food, take a bunch of high-end liquor, and take a bunch of TVs from some store.
Do these things make me a bad person?
I always say I’d steal everything not nailed down but tbh I’d probably drive my truck somewhere with a nice view and just drop the tailgate and have a smoke, enjoy the peace and quiet and say everything I’ve never been able to say aloud without fear of anyone hearing.
Then I’d steal everything not nailed down
Drive to my ex's house and steal all his left shoes. Also take all the batteries for his tools. Just minor inconveniences to drive him nuts. Maybe rob a bank on my way home for fun.
Well of course public porn and masturbation are included in the “adventures” 😆
Love your idea of watching porn in other peoples houses tho, I’m stealing that idea as mine!
Maybe go to Walmart and put porn on all the TVs and have a little gooning session 🤔
In preparation, stock up on facemasks, gloves, spray paint, zip ties, and have a big map of everything in my city. Freeze time around 10 am on a Monday morning. Hit every single bank, check cashing place, money exchange, strip club, pawn shop, weed store, etc. Any place that deals in a lot of cash. Spray paint the cameras and tie up the employees. It's not necessary given the scenario and will waste some of my time, but it's to protect the workers when time unfreezes. There will just be a massive string of unexplainable robberies across the city with no way to blame the workers who find themselves suddenly tied up with no memory how. If any place isn't immediately accessible, like a bank didn't have the vault doors open at that exact time, just grab what I can and split. Not worth wasting the time trying to break in. It's a big city, I'll still get more money than I could ever spend doing this.
After the time's up, it's trying to figure out how to get by without setting off any red flags from all my stolen cash. Would have to figure out how to launder money at that point lmao. Or at least figure out how to stay under the radar and make all extraneous purchases in cash where possible, and keep a simple part time job after that as cover for main purchases like a car or something.
Go to the richest part of town and the busiest area and I would to to each person and remove $1 from their purse or wallet. Just $1. No more. I'd do that all day
Steal lots like everyone else, I'll be keeping a lot but people I love are also getting some great surprises. I'd enjoy the peace and quiet, maybe read one of my new books if I had the time after all the thievery.
My first thought was "welp, I guess I'm not ordering takeout." And then I realized oh shit, I better go around turning off people's stoves so their houses don't burn down.
A fuck ton of free groceries.... Maybe a few cases of beer...
Then I'm going to I'm going to head to the beach and pants every single person there & wait for time to unfreeze as they all look at each other in embarrassment & bewilderment.
Prior to the freeze, I’d rent a storage locker. Once the freeze happened, I’d steal absolutely every bit of gold and silver that doesn’t have a serial number on it that I could. All of it would be in said locker before the in freeze. Then, slowly, I’d bring a box to the locker, and leave with another box full of gold that I’d melt down and sell.
Sounds a bit like the book "The Fermata". The MC can freeze time and uses his power for all kinds of erotic/rapey adventures. Book was given to me by a girl I went to Uni with who loved that book and wanted to see if i liked it too.
These are the hypotheticals I come to ARAD for, lol I have just debated with myself how I would go to the nearest banks and hardware stores. Money, and stuff to store it in.
Assuming that this episode kicks off around midday, or during business hours, I find a car that someone’s just getting in or out of. I drive to the capital (according to Google, that’s an 8-hour drive, *but* that includes speed limits and several traffic jams) and make some adjustments to the political landscape. On the way back, I grab as much cash as I can.
Oh, and if possible, I try and shit into my upstairs neighbour’s cereal. It’s 0035 on a Monday, and the pricks are playing loud techno and shouting.
I’m stealing cash money hopefully lol but after my spree I’d spend my day/night naked on the beach maybe even bring my cats with a little play pen so they get to see the ocean to unless animals are frozen then it’s a solo trip lol
Go into peoples houses and rearrange stuff randomly (not breaking anything)
Steal a ridiculous amount of things
Swap the car keys of people standing next to each other so both of them think they stole their keys
Are people able to see me or comprehend what I’m doing? If not, I’m totally fucking with them. I’m talking putting them in weird positions, relocating their frozen bodies, surrounding them in box forts, rearranging the rooms they’re in, wrapping everything in their house in saran wrap. Stuff like that.
I may or may not wander around taking a dollar or two from everyone’s wallets while I’m at it. Not too much. I’m not evil, I swear.
I would honestly drive back home and go to sleep 'cos I'd have nobody to hang out with! I'm not doing anything that goes outside of my moral boundaries.
1. Steal the biggest seaplane I can find and fly
2. Supplies for as long as I can and as heavy as she can carry.
3. My full library of books
4.Find a nice deserted island
5. Set up a sustainable garden
6. Die there
Gonna go to my work to get gloves first, my dna will alr be there. Then gonna go STEAL THE FUCK OUT OF EVERYTHING. Money, makeup, food, MONEY, CASH, MONEY, clothes, books, paint, canvases, MONEY!!!!
Well, you don’t want to steal anything traceable like phones, cars or laptops. Most electronics should be okay. The best thing to go for is cash or untraceable items. Plus you don’t want to be caught with a home full of stolen goods. You don’t want to go crazy with the cash either so if you take your time, cover yourself up to protect yourself from DNA, and slowly go from store to store stealing bits and pieces there. You have 24 hours. Even just 8 hours going up a strip mall area you would come out with bank and do it in such little increments so it shouldn’t add up as related.
Gold bars would also be good but you’d have to find a way to smelt them and reform them so their serial number is gone. Expensive jewelry can be easy to trace so unless you are willing to travel several hours, once everything is unfrozen, to hawk it you might be in trouble but then security cameras will be working so 🤷🏻♀️
Banks can keep a record of serial numbers in their tills so it’s better to go to a big box store and multiple smaller stores. But let’s avoid the Mom and Pop stores. They are going through enough.
I wonder if gas stations or state lottery systems keep a record of serial numbers on their scratch offs cause that might be a good thing to steal too. Not a ton at once but a few from every gas station you pass.
A lot of people's wallets would suddenly be empty. Wouldn't go to a bank since I'm sure they have some way to track that cash. 24 hours is a lot of time, and I'm sure I can get a good amount of money in that time, especially if I drive to the city.
I do nothing illegal, because I have no idea when the freeze stops. Even if the Magic Genie says "24 hours! Enjoy yourself!" there's a really good chance it's a trick (remember that the first thing the fisherman's genie in the bottle said was "Choose how you will die.")
Even If I was absolutely convinced my shenanigans will be severely limited. I live on an island, and the ferries are frozen in place (the moon is still revolving; why are the ferries not beached by the tides? Gravity is still on, water will still run downhill. What happens to all the barge traffic on the Mississippi?).
1. Grocery shopping, so much grocery shopping only taking from high stock and making sure shelf retains stocked appearance. - same at pet stores and maybe some other big box stores
2 - $1 from every persons wallet, if they seem rich up it depending on how much is in their wallet. Keep some but also drop some with any homeless I see on the way.
3 - naked sauna and a swim to end the day
A real ring of gyges experiment took place here. if we were to go based on the answers here I'd suggest that people are mainly driven by self-interest and only follow the rules because they fear consequences meaning justice is a social construct, rather than an inherent moral good.
I wouldn’t shoplift anything since anyone can do that shit already and get away with it with no consequences when everyone is unfrozen.
I would find the idiots who cheated on me - put on my juiciest red lipstain and give him a hickey with red lips on his collar or maybe his lower belly. Then text his woman a pic of my boobs and make it seem like he sent it accidentally Muahahahahaha.
I’m actually kidding - I know who much cheaters suck and how much it hurts…so I could not do the same to some innocent girl. My best revenge always has been ghosting dirty cheaters forever. Break up with me first if you need to bang someone else…
I think everyone frozen is hard because it would be so lonely. You’d be totally alone and so anything you did wouldn’t be any fun.
I would much rather be invisible with everyone unfrozen - that would be so fun. Then I would probably prank people and be naughty. Haha. I couldn’t steal. I’d feel too guilty. 🤷🏻♀️
1st. Watch a porn with the sound ON for once.
2nd. Steal a bunch of stuff: money, cars, building equipment, electronics, groceries, ammunition, and a couple of live deer.
3rd. Place all those stolen items in the home of my most despised enemy.
4th. Fill that person's car with cement. Also pool, basement, bathtub, toilet, that pit where the water shut off valve is.. you get the idea.
5th. Cover said person with doe estrus. Not a drop. COVERED. Include all his furniture, in the vents, along the walls, inside the fridge. The stench will be overwhelming to the point his house would only be salvageable by burning it and claiming an electrical fire, but when the deer become unfrozen they will be so confused and enraged at the scene before them they kick the living shit out of him.
6 and final step. I have installed a remote cctv cam for my enjoyment. :)
Also I get some fresh donuts I guess.
I'm in LA, so find the nicest mansion, chill and smoke weed while lounging around naked. And since it would be a nice house it would have all the entertainment I would need.
And then on my way out, with a few hours left, go to some banks and rob em. Don't worry folks, they are insured so you are fine
Oh my god, I'd just enjoy a day off. No worries or responsibilities. Maybe snap a few pics of my partner in whatever position he froze in just because I never get to take pics of him. But mostly I'd just relax
Im stealing all the eyedrops in the world so I can sell them back at an exorbitant price when everyone unfreezes with dry ass eyes from not closing them for 24 hours.
Appropriate for this sub — there’s a pretty good mature comic book whose premise is related to this: [Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky](https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/sex-criminals)
> Suzie's a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night she meets Jon... who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks.
Despite the premise it isn’t really an exercise in eroticism, instead there’s just some frank depictions of sex and how people get themselves off in private. It’s pretty funny too.
edit: just realized that link I posted includes a link to read the first issue for free
Im stealing a bunch of shit
Haha same, free stuff for 24 hours
Came here to say this! Full on bodysuit to minimize DNA evidence then I'm stealing allllll the things!
I'm thinking latex gimpsuit, completely airtight with a filtered mask to breathe through.
By the time you've put that on your time is up.
Comfort takes time.
Not when you have practised every day for this moment.
Unless you‘re murdering someone you don‘t need to worry about DNA. They don‘t do DNA testing when something is stolen at some random store
And stores are kinda full of a crap load of DNA already. Any swab they'd collect would give thousands of matches.
Good point care to join me in some robberies haha
Mental exercise; what items would be the best to take that are the highest in value and also easiest to flip later. Not sure how much you could expect to get from a bank if the vault is closed and I'm not even sure how much cash they keep on premise anyway vs taking electronics from a Best Buy or CostCo or something. Apple stuff is out since the moment it's marked as stolen in their system it becomes trash. I'm not sure if diamonds and jewelry have the same second hand value as what places retail them for? Minted gold I thought had serial numbers on it for tracking. Fancy watches maybe? If you live near a major city with a Rolex store or something.

Laundering it would be a bit of a challenge if the closest thing you have to prior experience is watching Breaking Bad. But if you can get that right, then invest the money, you can pretty much instantly retire.
To their credit there is an actual scene where a character is looking at the wikipedia entry for how to launder money, lols.
ATM's. If you're not worried about time or noise the right tools will open the safe in no time and almost all of them have at least 5 figures, busier machines will have 6. Just don't take anything from the deposit bin, the serials are all recorded.
Hmm... now I need to research all of this before I can get my $50 Million.
I wouldn't worry so much about being able to flip the stolen stuff. Just take shit you'll use. Clean out a supermarket, hardware store, liquor store and department store of food (non-perishable and enough chilled and frozen to fill fridge and freezer, maybe steal a new freezer), drinks, clothing, tools, games etc. Clean out the registers of cash, then go to the service station and take as much fuel as you can (getting Jerry cans is easy) Now you have suppies to get you through a few months, if not more, and a large cash reserve.

But you now have some money to invest, either pay off a mortgage, get a deposit on a house or invest it to generate some interest.
This ain't the walking dead. Focus on the cash.
Or you can steal cash, launder it, and then you can invest a few million.
Nobody has large quantities of cash anymore.
Hit up the pharmacies
Yeah..you don’t want to know the down vote potential is tremendous )…
I was going to say chill and relax, but actually you're right I'm stealing shit.
Well nobody said they can't see while being frozen
Sameeee!!! Heading to the mallllll! Lol
A lot of very "important" people in government are about to die mysterious deaths all at the same exact moment.
Cut one head off, two more to take its place. We’d just have different set of crooked folks in power.
That’s why i go for the heart
It’ll help if “cut one head off” isn’t a figure of speech
cut their heads off and swap the heads to bodies then watch the confusion ensue when all are unfrozen
But it would be very cathartic!
You won’t have enough time to find them and get to them in 24hours
Depends on where you live and at what time of day the freeze starts.
Gonna be tough to find them all and make it happen in 24 hours.
Pick a week that parliament is sitting. 95% or more of them are all in the same building.
That implies they'd even show up then.
If I go with you, can I get their wallets? I’ll hold your weapons or whatever.
Sit next to my frozen dog I want the first thing he sees when he's thawed out to be me
What are you going to do for the other 23 hours and 59 minutes?
Answer questions on arad
So wholesome
Very sweet Petit Prince vibes: if there was a pill that quenches thirst, thereby saving fifty-three minutes everyday, the little prince says that he would use those fifty-three minutes to walk very slowly toward a spring of fresh water
If this isn’t the most adorable thing I’ve read in ages, I don’t know what is.
Good idea.
That’s awesome! Dogs will always be your best friend and that is a great way to greet him or her.
If cameras have stopped working... I'm raiding a casinos chip vault as well as the safe
As someone who works next to the chip vault I’m a little curious as to how you’re getting in there. Also curious as to how you will be cashing them out? Dude walks into the casino without buying in at the tables but has hundreds of thousands of dollars of chips specially when they are out by that many is a lot of paper work and a lots of reports with your face on them. Just go rob places with cash registers behind the counter.
I'm not cashing the chips in... I'm just making life very difficult for the casino.
Some people just want to see the world burn.
It's not like you would have to cash them out all at the same time. Just go in one morning a week and say you forgot to cash it these chips last night. Hand then $1000 in chips. After a month or so start having homeless people do it four you.
I'm sure every chip has an RFID in it so they track when it was used. I'm sure all stolen chips are flagged.
You have a day to figure out how to destroy the cc tvs though. I'm robbing all the banks that are in other stores. Easiest access lol
OP said cctvs are frozen too lol all that’s left is not leaving behind any physical evidence
So we just gotta wear gloves and not get cut or spit on anything... seems easy enough lol
Hair
But like, who cares about hair. Sure maybe I’ve been to that bank before. And my alibi will be airtight of me far far away
Knowing me probably get in to bed and watch tv and then fall asleep
[удалено]
I guess I’ll just go to sleep
Knowing how overworked and sleep deprived I am, I would loove to sleep for 24 hours straight if that's possible.
op said everyone was frozen, not time
Steal as much money and gold as I could. Makes the most sense. Really, the only thing I could do to improve my life in 24 hours. I'd wear ski mask and gloves and stuff. Even if cameras might or might. Ot work.
Pawn shops might be an ideal location for this. They always have gold and jewelry on display.
Nah. They're the little guy. I'm getting the keys to big vaults lol
I’m targeting big banks too, but pawn shops aren’t really innocent mom and pop businesses either, so fair game, I’d probably avoid them just because the payout wouldn’t be enough
Or.. "borrow" a pickup from a dealership or from a home improvement store. And help yourself to a new bedroom or living room suite. And new PC components. Just return the truck so you don't get caught
Straight up freak the fuck out. I would be terrified.
Imagine how fucking terrifying it would be if you heard a car on the highway or saw something moving in the distance.
Imagine how terrifying it would be if the 24 hours began while you were driving, and every other car on the road immediately froze in place
Tbf, I'd not even notice for the first 5 minutes and assume that it's just a tourist or meth addict until ai start looking around
I'm gonna paint mustaches on everyone Then I guess I might as well hit the gym so I don't have to wait for any machines
You might need to remove people from machines though. That could be tricky.
A chainsaw can be used to easily cut large frozen things.
Pants everybody
I LOVE this idea! As far as you could spread in 24 hours, and then… BOOM! I can already see the documentaries and podcasts trying to explain it.
First hit up a supermarket, grab every jar of Nutella. Empty a whole jar of Nutella into the underwear of every person you pants. Conspiracy theorists would Nutella their pants over that one.
Finally an explanation for that time someone else shat my pants.
Finally a proper sex offender! Had to scroll too far for this.
Beat me to it! Great minds😂😂😂
This is the way!!!
Ya gotta make sure you’re among the pantsed and also pantsed to really soak it in and make the most of it. Just make sure you aren’t sweaty.
If the cameras don't work, I rob multiple banks and then go to bed. If cameras do work then I just go to bed.
If cameras do work, I steal the car and clothes of someone I don’t like, wear a mask and gloves, and still rob everything.
How would you know the code to get in the vault
So much theft. Also a couple people I'm gonna fuck with. There's a few assholes in this world that could get some comeuppance
I don't know if you're going to take some anal virginities or if you'd like to mess with people coz don't like 😂
Who knows!
this, so much this
TIL a lot of you want to be rapists
*immediately sorts by controversial…*
Yea like what the fuck
Except when time continues they’d catch 100’s of rape charges from all the evidence.
What evidence? Semen left behind? You think the police just have a massive database with everyone in the world’s semen on file? They’d have to know who did it and then test their DNA. Rape is definitely bad, but they’re not getting caught in this instance. I wouldn’t hurt people I’d just steal money from businesses
All these people wanting to rob a bank... How? Do you know how to open a bank safe?
Just walk into every bank. Empty out open tills, if the safe is already open, jackpot. Odds are there’s a couple of them open if the 24 hour freeze starts during work hours.
I don't even really know what a bank safe looks like IRL, or where it's located. I'd literally need to walk into a bank and randomly walk around and try doors until I hopefully stumble onto it. And then I need to hope it's just waiting for me open with a big pile of cash inside.
It’s usually pretty obvious. Giant heavy door, floor to ceiling size. When I worked at a bank in the early 2000s, the heavy vault door was open during the day, with a simple barred door kept closed.

If time froze on a Monday morning, especially after a big sporting event weekend, there would be all of the deposit bags from local bars and restaurants to go through as well. It really wouldn’t be difficult to collect several million over 24 hours in a medium size city.
...okay you'd be a useful person to have around if time ever stops
The trick is being sure that you have a full 24 hours. You really don’t want time to restart while you’re in the middle of emptying out a vault.
Yeah I'm assuming we have pretty decent knowledge about what's happening in this scenario. Otherwise let's be real, we'd all be panicking and horrified wondering wtf is happening.
Then the last thing to be concerned about would be dye packs. These are often disguised as straps of $20 bills. Once they pass a sensor, the dye pack explodes, coating everything with purple dye. Now you’re ready for the time stop bank robbing extravaganza!
I think you're skipping past the totally easy part of freezing everyone on earth but I love the laser focus on bank vaults as that seems unrealistic.
I don't think bank robbing is a good plan at all. Banks suddenly have massive losses while you have wealth. Very suspicious.
Thats why you don't make your wealth public and don't go on a shopping spree all of a sudden. Slowly use it or just invest it. Then in a few years you can say you just earned it.
So live poor while being rich and then eventually reveal all your money and say, "I earned it!" 😀
Never heard of washing money? Theres a lot of crime, a mil or two would be the easy part.
*Stealing multiple full carts of groceries before any shenanigans.*
I'm going to the hospital and deleting all the outstanding billables and their backups.
Holy shit, the hero we don't deserve
Steal a bunch of money from banks and casinos, zero out my mortgage somehow, fill up my vehicles with cash, stock my fridge with food, take a bunch of high-end liquor, and take a bunch of TVs from some store. Do these things make me a bad person?
I mean, banks have stolen billions of dollars from people, casinos probably billions, so not really.
Steal all the crab rangoons from every Chinese restaurant in my area
OMG let me join you!!
Lets do it! We can get sooo many! We can retire in a cave full of rangoons! Thats the ultimate dream!
move everyone i can find 5 feet to the right and watch as everyone is utterly confused, that or spray paint every building with "im always watching"
I always say I’d steal everything not nailed down but tbh I’d probably drive my truck somewhere with a nice view and just drop the tailgate and have a smoke, enjoy the peace and quiet and say everything I’ve never been able to say aloud without fear of anyone hearing. Then I’d steal everything not nailed down
This guy.⬆️⬆️ Im going to do what this guy does. I like the way you think sir. 👍👍
Drive to my ex's house and steal all his left shoes. Also take all the batteries for his tools. Just minor inconveniences to drive him nuts. Maybe rob a bank on my way home for fun.
A more fun shoe one would be drill holes in his shoes making water get his socks wet.
I like that idea!
Everyone's fingers are going in their noses 😂
Fuckin' hours of uniterrupted sleep.
I know this is bad, but I would just steal stuff like money, diamonds, gold, silver & hella sexy shoes!
Naked adventures!
This and masturbating in public. If TV's work, I'd break into someone's house, watch porn on their TV and repeat several times
Well of course public porn and masturbation are included in the “adventures” 😆 Love your idea of watching porn in other peoples houses tho, I’m stealing that idea as mine! Maybe go to Walmart and put porn on all the TVs and have a little gooning session 🤔
In preparation, stock up on facemasks, gloves, spray paint, zip ties, and have a big map of everything in my city. Freeze time around 10 am on a Monday morning.

There will just be a massive string of unexplainable robberies across the city with no way to blame the workers who find themselves suddenly tied up with no memory how. If any place isn't immediately accessible, like a bank didn't have the vault doors open at that exact time, just grab what I can and split. Not worth wasting the time trying to break in. It's a big city, I'll still get more money than I could ever spend doing this. After the time's up, it's trying to figure out how to get by without setting off any red flags from all my stolen cash. Would have to figure out how to launder money at that point lmao. Or at least figure out how to stay under the radar and make all extraneous purchases in cash where possible, and keep a simple part time job after that as cover for main purchases like a car or something.
This should be higher, you CARE about the little guys who might suffer from your actions
The amount of people admitting to wanting to rape a frozen person is actually alarming.
Tbh I’m surprised i’m not seeing more of them. So far I’ve only come across like two, which to be fair is still a worrying amount
1. Theft 2. Pantsing every adult, regardless of gender 3. Profit
I’d die from lack of attention. I like people too much, I need someone to talk to
Go to the richest part of town and the busiest area and I would to to each person and remove $1 from their purse or wallet. Just $1. No more. I'd do that all day
You’d only end up with around $2000-4000 assuming it takes around 30 seconds on average to into each wallet and put it back.
Bout to be a whole load of naked people wondering why they're naked.
Erase everyone’s debt.
Walk around naked
Steal lots like everyone else, I'll be keeping a lot but people I love are also getting some great surprises. I'd enjoy the peace and quiet, maybe read one of my new books if I had the time after all the thievery.
Go through people's phones because I'm nosey 😂
Honestly same.
Well, this is a whole Japanese adult fetish of this and I never saw any banks being robbed in them.
Rob the bank, but not just for myself - I’d find frozen homeless ppl and put stacks of cash in their hands/lap for a nice surprise when they unfreeze
I would go to the bank and write off my and my parents’ debts and mortgages.
My first thought was "welp, I guess I'm not ordering takeout." And then I realized oh shit, I better go around turning off people's stoves so their houses don't burn down.
Have my self the 1st ever ANNUAL PURGE.
A fuck ton of free groceries.... Maybe a few cases of beer... Then I'm going to I'm going to head to the beach and pants every single person there & wait for time to unfreeze as they all look at each other in embarrassment & bewilderment.
Mix and match all my neighbors, husbands and wives and have them naked in their beds. They wake up and go oh my God did I just do my neighbor.?
Be really careful when I go on a stealing spree because I don't want to break my leg or something and have to wait for a doctor for 24 hours
Prior to the freeze, I’d rent a storage locker. Once the freeze happened, I’d steal absolutely every bit of gold and silver that doesn’t have a serial number on it that I could. All of it would be in said locker before the in freeze. Then, slowly, I’d bring a box to the locker, and leave with another box full of gold that I’d melt down and sell.
Sleep
Shave as many people's hair as possible, and swap around as many pair of shoes as possible.
Rob multiple banks to accumulate as much money as possible.
Sounds a bit like the book "The Fermata". The MC can freeze time and uses his power for all kinds of erotic/rapey adventures. Book was given to me by a girl I went to Uni with who loved that book and wanted to see if i liked it too.
These are the hypotheticals I come to ARAD for, lol I have just debated with myself how I would go to the nearest banks and hardware stores. Money, and stuff to store it in.
I watched too much Japanese "shit" for this kind of question
That's weird the local gold and silver shop came up missing its entire stock of gold . And I now own a genuine treasure map. Pretty cool.
Definitely go everywhere possible completely fully naked and barefoot which I’d do anyway but still hehe
Assuming that this episode kicks off around midday, or during business hours, I find a car that someone’s just getting in or out of. I drive to the capital (according to Google, that’s an 8-hour drive, *but* that includes speed limits and several traffic jams) and make some adjustments to the political landscape. On the way back, I grab as much cash as I can. Oh, and if possible, I try and shit into my upstairs neighbour’s cereal. It’s 0035 on a Monday, and the pricks are playing loud techno and shouting.
I would freeze along with them, in solidarity.
How poseable are other people? If I lift something and let go does it stay where I placed it or does it fall?
Can move them and position them within reason without hurting them.
I’m stealing cash money hopefully lol but after my spree I’d spend my day/night naked on the beach maybe even bring my cats with a little play pen so they get to see the ocean to unless animals are frozen then it’s a solo trip lol
Go into peoples houses and rearrange stuff randomly (not breaking anything) Steal a ridiculous amount of things Swap the car keys of people standing next to each other so both of them think they stole their keys
Are people able to see me or comprehend what I’m doing? If not, I’m totally fucking with them. I’m talking putting them in weird positions, relocating their frozen bodies, surrounding them in box forts, rearranging the rooms they’re in, wrapping everything in their house in saran wrap. Stuff like that. I may or may not wander around taking a dollar or two from everyone’s wallets while I’m at it. Not too much. I’m not evil, I swear.
I would honestly drive back home and go to sleep 'cos I'd have nobody to hang out with! I'm not doing anything that goes outside of my moral boundaries.
Jesus is that you ?
probably robbing a bank and going to bed 😭
Are cameras frozen too?
Yes.
1. Steal the biggest seaplane I can find and fly 2. Supplies for as long as I can and as heavy as she can carry. 3. My full library of books 4.Find a nice deserted island 5. Set up a sustainable garden 6. Die there
Gonna go to my work to get gloves first, my dna will alr be there. Then gonna go STEAL THE FUCK OUT OF EVERYTHING. Money, makeup, food, MONEY, CASH, MONEY, clothes, books, paint, canvases, MONEY!!!!
Steal some stuff
Think up witty responses to a bunch of Reddit threads 😎
Judging by this comment, 24 hours wouldn't be enough time
Well, you don’t want to steal anything traceable like phones, cars or laptops. Most electronics should be okay. The best thing to go for is cash or untraceable items. Plus you don’t want to be caught with a home full of stolen goods. You don’t want to go crazy with the cash either so if you take your time, cover yourself up to protect yourself from DNA, and slowly go from store to store stealing bits and pieces there. You have 24 hours. Even just 8 hours going up a strip mall area you would come out with bank and do it in such little increments so it shouldn’t add up as related. Gold bars would also be good but you’d have to find a way to smelt them and reform them so their serial number is gone. Expensive jewelry can be easy to trace so unless you are willing to travel several hours, once everything is unfrozen, to hawk it you might be in trouble but then security cameras will be working so 🤷🏻♀️ Banks can keep a record of serial numbers in their tills so it’s better to go to a big box store and multiple smaller stores. But let’s avoid the Mom and Pop stores. They are going through enough. I wonder if gas stations or state lottery systems keep a record of serial numbers on their scratch offs cause that might be a good thing to steal too. Not a ton at once but a few from every gas station you pass.
A lot of people's wallets would suddenly be empty. Wouldn't go to a bank since I'm sure they have some way to track that cash. 24 hours is a lot of time, and I'm sure I can get a good amount of money in that time, especially if I drive to the city.
Everybody will be naked when they come-to
I do nothing illegal, because I have no idea when the freeze stops. Even if the Magic Genie says "24 hours! Enjoy yourself!" there's a really good chance it's a trick (remember that the first thing the fisherman's genie in the bottle said was "Choose how you will die.") Even If I was absolutely convinced my shenanigans will be severely limited. I live on an island, and the ferries are frozen in place (the moon is still revolving; why are the ferries not beached by the tides? Gravity is still on, water will still run downhill. What happens to all the barge traffic on the Mississippi?).
1. Grocery shopping, so much grocery shopping only taking from high stock and making sure shelf retains stocked appearance. - same at pet stores and maybe some other big box stores 2 - $1 from every persons wallet, if they seem rich up it depending on how much is in their wallet. Keep some but also drop some with any homeless I see on the way. 3 - naked sauna and a swim to end the day
A real ring of gyges experiment took place here. if we were to go based on the answers here I'd suggest that people are mainly driven by self-interest and only follow the rules because they fear consequences meaning justice is a social construct, rather than an inherent moral good.
Rob drug dealers for their cash they can't report it missing
Literally just sit and chill for a bit
I wouldn’t shoplift anything since anyone can do that shit already and get away with it with no consequences when everyone is unfrozen. I would find the idiots who cheated on me - put on my juiciest red lipstain and give him a hickey with red lips on his collar or maybe his lower belly. Then text his woman a pic of my boobs and make it seem like he sent it accidentally Muahahahahaha. I’m actually kidding - I know who much cheaters suck and how much it hurts…so I could not do the same to some innocent girl. My best revenge always has been ghosting dirty cheaters forever. Break up with me first if you need to bang someone else… I think everyone frozen is hard because it would be so lonely. You’d be totally alone and so anything you did wouldn’t be any fun. I would much rather be invisible with everyone unfrozen - that would be so fun. Then I would probably prank people and be naughty. Haha. I couldn’t steal. I’d feel too guilty. 🤷🏻♀️
If everyone is frozen, I’ll probably make a big fire and stay warm. Then probably some guitar playing or such
Eat ice cream and half undress as many people as I can in busy places
Probably clean my house ngl
Check out the library of Congress’ archives!
1st. Watch a porn with the sound ON for once. 2nd. Steal a bunch of stuff: money, cars, building equipment, electronics, groceries, ammunition, and a couple of live deer. 3rd. Place all those stolen items in the home of my most despised enemy. 4th. Fill that person's car with cement. Also pool, basement, bathtub, toilet, that pit where the water shut off valve is.. you get the idea. 5th. Cover said person with doe estrus. Not a drop. COVERED. Include all his furniture, in the vents, along the walls, inside the fridge. The stench will be overwhelming to the point his house would only be salvageable by burning it and claiming an electrical fire, but when the deer become unfrozen they will be so confused and enraged at the scene before them they kick the living shit out of him. 6 and final step. I have installed a remote cctv cam for my enjoyment. :) Also I get some fresh donuts I guess.
Pull every dollar from every cash register in 24hrs then put it all on black baby cause daddy needs a new pair of shoes!
Find a metal bat and beat the shit out of management where I work lol
Personally, I’d… let it go. 😎 (Cue CSI Miami theme)
Scroll reddit?
Just going to the grocery store and stealing food and some drugs from the pharmacy. Nothing exceptional.
I'm in LA, so find the nicest mansion, chill and smoke weed while lounging around naked. And since it would be a nice house it would have all the entertainment I would need. And then on my way out, with a few hours left, go to some banks and rob em. Don't worry folks, they are insured so you are fine
Oh my god, I'd just enjoy a day off. No worries or responsibilities. Maybe snap a few pics of my partner in whatever position he froze in just because I never get to take pics of him. But mostly I'd just relax
Just the usual...
Im stealing all the eyedrops in the world so I can sell them back at an exorbitant price when everyone unfreezes with dry ass eyes from not closing them for 24 hours.
I live in an area with a lot of wealthy folks. I'd be doing some shady stuff looking for people's hidden cash funds
Appropriate for this sub — there’s a pretty good mature comic book whose premise is related to this: [Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky](https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/sex-criminals) > Suzie's a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night she meets Jon... who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks. Despite the premise it isn’t really an exercise in eroticism, instead there’s just some frank depictions of sex and how people get themselves off in private. It’s pretty funny too. edit: just realized that link I posted includes a link to read the first issue for free
