Pretty much the title. I've been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.

I think it's easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?

Honestly I think I would mostly use it for naps. So many naps.

Honestly. This.

There is so much that I would want to do that requires time to be "flowing" that the only things I could probably get done would be some cleaning, reading, and some rest.

Food doesn't cook without time. Computers and other electronics need time to process inputs. If I want to get anywhere I'm walking.

The only immoral stuff might be some shoplifting, maybe. But even then I wouldn't really be motivated if I could afford whatever it was otherwise.

If we're talking about physics-accurate superpowers, please add partial blindness - photons are frozen in place, they can't reach your eyelids, unless you walk into them. And suffocation due to completely still air.

And ... now you can't even nap in peace 😐.

On second thought I'd probably just troll the French by moving them to the bottom of flights of stairs after they've walked up.
