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. 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.
I'd definitely fuck with people who were being shitty, not straight up evil, just mischievous:
Park in a bike lane? Oh no, all your valve stems have disappeared!
Attack someone? Your shoelaces are now tied to your belt, which is also now fastened around your arms.
Steal from a person? Your shoes are now hanging from a lamp post and the stuff you stole got unstolen.
Be a shady company that screws everyone over? Your infrastructure keeps breaking and funds keep disappearing, how weird!
Invade Ukraine and commit hundreds of war crimes? Oh no, you fell out of a window and also I have now been "recruited" by the CIA because they found out about my ability to pause time. Now I'm forced to do morally ambiguous things under the guise of national interests.
Oh shit, OP was right!
Also, hey Netflix: Hit me up if you wanna do a series, I know you'll literally hire anyone. I do comedy too.
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 ๐.
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.
Photons move at the speed of light relative to the observer, regardless of the observer's speed.
If we're going physics-accurate, you wouldn't be blind, though you'd probably be a black hole (for a very brief time, before you evaporated due to Hawking radiation).
