    If you had the power to skip time (e.g in situations where you have to wait), but under the condition that these few minutes/hours will be lost forever -- would you ever use it?

    • Hmm. It'd be hard to differentiate what waiting is. Would being on an 8hr flight be waiting? Is commuting to work waiting? Is work just waiting for the weekend?HAYZ1LLLA
    • seems like a pretty dumb super power. what happens to you while you're skipping time? are you just frozen in place? or do you merely have no memory of your actssarahfailin
    • skipping time at will, in any situations. You remember everything. Recall where you were 1 hour ago. Imagine that the last hour has been skipped in one second.drgs
    • you still have some emotional memories, but you did not actually live/experience these moments. when looking at the past we all have this powerdrgs
    • so ... could you skip until Friday and then find yourself at the weekend and your work all done?monospaced
    • oh ... just a few minutes/hours ... so you could essentially just skip a meetingmonospaced
    • are you actually productive during this time-skip? like, can you skip, but still run that errand, or finish a workout?monospaced
    • on those 16 hours flight maybe. mostly i just sleep anyway.pango
    • productive and all, but it all will be in the past. you will never experience these moments live in person.drgs
    • and the question is: would it actually make a difference? in a way it already applies to every moment lived. I think I have achieved enlightenmentdrgs
