hit pausw paws. Boop. Timer stops.

Take a break. Not a break.. That thing that...was it A different World? Saved by the bell. no. Yes. both. They could stop time. What if we all could do that. Pause everything else. get stuff done. We'd all be stopped for billions of years as each human paused for a while each in turn, but we wouldn't know. We'd mostly be going about our own business. Would it be possible to pause at the exact same moment as someone else? or would an accident inevitably happen, and the world would never go on? How would the physics of this work?

Best not to think too deeply or it won't work. the sun has to keep burning.
