For five minutes every year. It would make barely any difference to my life.
The other way around sounds great at first - you'd have tons of free time to do whatever you want, and you wouldn't age during that time. But nothing would function because time is frozen. No internet, no electricity for listening to records or watching a DVD. You could not in any meaningful way interact with your world. A year of this followed by five minutes of real time would surely drive anyone insane after a while.
If we're being really real, both ways kill you the first time you try them because your body would cease to function.
Hey! No ruining the fun with technicalities!
This should be a rule lol. Stay in spirit of the community.
No human interaction for so long would destroy a person.
No. Ive done something pretty close, and I'm...
Oh,
Listening to records or watching DVDs? My brother in V'Ger, are you sure you haven't experienced any time dilation effects already?
