Alright here's the deal. One day, we'd all wake up and find out that life (including time) had turned into slow motion (slow-mo-life is a catchy term). I guess most of us would think that would be cool. So what would you do next (3 things maximum)? 1.) I'd probably record myself dancing in slow-mo then post the video on YouTube (although it would take ages to upload, SOW) 2.) Watch a race! (what the!) 3.) See a hot woman dancing and stripping HAHA! Hmmmm... boring! I'm drinking my coffee right now.

yeah, kdmlrys, just like what you said, life is in slow motion, but you will find time goes by in a quick motion, even you have no time to think about the matter.time goes like a river, you can see it is flowing very slowly, but someday you will find it has coverd a long long disdance in time and all our things are taken away by that. we always say i will do it tomorrow, i will complete that next time, tomorrow will be better. but only today belongs to us, tomorrow is unreachable. there are only 24 hours oneday, that is 3*8, we spend 8 in sleeping, 8 in working, and 8 in entertainment, but there is much of evry 8 will be killed by goldbrick, and that is to say we waste more time than what we have to work on it, and which will bring another problem: efficiency. efficiency is hard to improve, but we should try! and my friend, i will give my answer what i will do next step 1.complete my experiment 2.complete my review 3.to be a doctor. and have a nice day wish you being successful!

Ooh, coffee. I think I would sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and not rush. I would spend time with my husband, just talking and driving. I would sleep.

If it will happen first I'll fix things without a hasty manner never mind if you will finish or not. Second I'll spend much time watching good spot scenery in our environments especially your own gardens and fields. Last but not the least, I spend life in slow motion by discussing ideas or solutions in our daily life with your family about problems at the moment and its ahead situations.

well I think the three things that I would do would be 1.have s-x because it would last longer 2. watch someone strip because of the same reason as the first 3.watch a p-rno flick. Oh yea I forgot this is most likely what a man would want, not a woman.

this is something quite obvious... but out of these three i think the last one doesn't make a lot of sense. after all you can watch a movie in slow motion even in real time.

Hhehe good one indeed. I dont like slow motion life at all. I have seen some clips when the astronauts step on the moon how they walk and carry things . Its too slow they don't have control over them .

Interesting question... I think that I will stay in bed a bit longer and get more sleep. LOL Yeah, that sounds really lazy but then again, since time is slowing down, I might as well be lazy for just a moment.

Seems like you always have one of the most interesting, crazy, silly, yet fun and interesting discussions on mylot. I certainly see this as a playful ploy to get our attention, and yeah you did get my attention. Before I give my 3 things to do when I wake up to a slow motion world the next day. That certainly makes me wonder if I missed something here. If everything went slow motion when I wake up, wouldn't that mean I'd be affected by it too? So here goes... 1. Since everything is going on slow motion, I'd go and see If I can catch a speeding bullet train. (if I'm affected by the slow mo-life myself I think I won't get to catch that train anyway) Lol. But it sounds like fun. 2. I'd take on Michael Jordan on the hardcourt and get to steal the ball from him. 3. I would like to catch every drop of rain on top of the Empire State Building. Damn, I can think of more than 3. But since that's all you require from me. I have to go now and catch a ride. Cheers!

well i think every person starts his or her day with the cup of coffee or tea or with a glass of water . mine is stared with a cup of hot water and after 10 minutes i used to take a cup of tea . mine life is not going in slow motion because what i judge from my life , if we achieve something in our life then we say our life is very fast , time has no wings. if we don't achieve anything in our life then we say that time is not spending easily means time has wings

well 1) I would never do my chores (cause it takes forever in normal speed and it would probably take more than forever in slo-mo) 2) I would try to chase a moving car (now that its slower lol but I would not catch it cause I am also slow) 3) throw a pie on my neighbor and watch him evade it matrix style (lol cool lol)

Oh actually it will depends on every person's point of view whether it is good to life in a slow motion life or the other way round. It is good that we can do everything slowly, slow and steady, as people said,lol. Life will be very peaceful where people are not in rush and having a hectic and pressurized life like we're having now. However, if everything gets slow, we will also get the things we want very slowly. When we are out for lunch or dinner, we order a food. The people who cook it will take very long time to finish and serve the food. I think that won't be cool to be hungry. And also when we want to get things done, the people we are dealing with will take extra long time to finish it, due to the 'slow motion mode'. There're good and bad sides of this. I think i will prefer what we are having now.

This question requires imagination. Are you doing a Spielberg movie? Advise me when it will be shown. I am going to queue the line. I'd like to see your second option though. Sounds interesting. The first and the second are a little trite. Many have done those. As for my slow mo activities, how about flying on a hot-air balloon just so I can see the world's landscape at it's best, sit in coffee shop and people watch longer, and trifle with mylot so I could answer discussions better. Not interesting at all, huh!

Well, What I've always wanted to do was just do my day to day things in slow motion. Walking, talking, even eating. I think everything that I would do or watch people do would just be absolutely hilarious. I don't know, I love laughing and I think watching someone eat, or brush their teeth, or even blink, would just be the funniest thing ever =)
