Time has somehow stopped, but you can move. What do you do?

One could arrange a lot of pranks with a time freeze...

Lol probably freeze to death. Photons stop moving, molecules stop vibrating. Electronic devices probably don't function/respond. So I could sleep (forever), no video games/tv/movies. Time travel trips me up; like I could walk around, but would time stopping fuck with the cohesion of matter/reality etc? Think you need a few more preconditions for this poll.
That's fair. I was trying to keep it broad to incite discussion.
But since we're getting deeper sciencey with that. Let's assume that physics still includes active friction, gravity and heat transference especially since you can move. This is something like a gravitational anomaly that has affected the time space continuum in that you can move even though "Time" is stopped and everyone else is frozen in the moment -
Hit refresh and reset buttons and wonder why my devices don't work. Honestly no idea what I'd do once I figure out what's going on - any socially/legally unacceptable behavior would be a huge risk because I'd have no way of knowing how long the timestop lasts.
TBH I'd probably just try to wait it out, maybe take a walk outside and take a look around.

David Wong wrote a book where time would stop, but he actually put thought into it. So like, a field of grass was basically a field of razor blades because nothing else could move.
Fog and clouds could be walked on, a bunch of other stuff that made sense but is rarely thought of.
I think it was "This book is full of spiders"

No idea. But did you hear about the thousands of neonazis who all died at exactly the same time? Crazy stuff...

Shit myself but that's my answer for most things

It just occurs to me what might happen if time started moving forward meanwhile. Also dependent on that factor, the political and social ramifications, oh my. Easy Luigi mode, if I were so inclined. I've seen time travel depicted so many different ways and with so many different rules so its made me particular.

I choose to believe that you will run around flashing people. Wouldn't that be embarassing if time suddenly starts running again!

Immediately panic. Why did it stop? How do I start it? Am I still aging? Can I still die?

Die from asphyxiation, presumably.

Have fun for like an hour then go crazy and interact with frozen people like Will Smith to the mannequins in I Am Legend

Fair! And time space shit is my jam. (Stein's gate is an awesome visual novel, manga, anime / piece of media) if you haven't see it ... You'll have a field (Heh) day

If photons and therefore likely all molecules stopped moving then you wouldn’t really have a way of losing heat as that eliminates conduction, convection, and radiation. But if we assume our body still works completely unfrozen then we would still need to burn calories and generate heat and without a way of shedding that what we would probably overheat and die, or depending on the limitations suffocate from lack of air if it’s all “frozen”.
Also if like everything just stopped suddenly like for example the planet earth stopped moving you would also get thrown pretty far from the rapid acceleration which could also kill you.
Basically what I am saying is it’s a much more useful question if you make the assumption that all living beings freeze but the universe doesn’t and maybe can be even better thought as plants and single cell organisms don’t freeze as that also limits the question a lot

Apparently, set all of reality on fire simply by existing in a state of singular hyper-agitation.
Thanks, universe.

Depending on how long, I can think of a bunch of people across the globe that could use an acid bath.

Nah, you don't want to freeze it. Just get some airtight containers.
