So every time you stop that clock you are causing yourself to die sooner than you normally would have.
Thanks but no thanks.
mmm
You’d only be dying sooner relative to the people around you. From YOUR perspective, you’d still live the same amount of time you normally would have.
Still a good reason to opt out if you have a lot of loved ones that would hate to see you go sooner than later though.
Hey, free groceries!
With slight differences, the hypohthetical is reminiscent of a 1960 sci-fi short story by R.A. Lafferty, The Six Fingers of Time.
If I was really granted a superpower, I know in my heart it would be this lame.
I’d use this power for occasionally catching up on sleep, but not very often.
I think using the power to cheat at poker and other “imperfect information” games would run afoul of the “no snooping” rule. If whatever deity gave you the power cared more about the spirit of the rules than the strict letter of them, that would be a definite no-no.
Your power could give you a major advantage in speed chess and other timed games.
Since the power allows you to read and also use a device to access information you downloaded before you activated your power, you could download a copy of Wikipedia into your smartphone and then cheat at Jeopardy and other quiz show games. It would be using public information you gathered before the game started so it wouldn’t count as snooping. You could avoid being spotted ‘glitching’ by being practiced at moving into some regular relaxed pose whenever you used your power and always going back to it before returning to normal time. I think I’d have fun beating Ken Jennings’ winning streak record by several million dollars… 
Except that I suspect Jennings has the power as well.
He does seem to be aging quickly.
mmm
I don’t know it might be nice to be able to sneak in a nap once in a while. Other than that, the restrictions make it a pretty lame superpower. About as lame as Aquaman.
I would use it every day, freezing time for several days each time, so that I could spend extra days doing exciting things like reading, sleeping, listening to music, watching recordings on TV, doing laundry and cleaning. As an added bonus I would appear to age much more quickly than if I spent my ordinary time doing things like reading, sleeping, listening to music, watching recordings on TV, doing laundry and cleaning.
To steal minutes from people on a message board?
I would have way wittier conversations. You know that feeling when you think of the perfect comeback after the conversation is done? Not happening to me anymore. I don’t know about a subject? Let me stop time and learn all about it on my phone.
My two questions would be, if time stopped for the world but not me, how much movement am I allowed? The OP says I can ’ You can do things like read, sleep, listen to music, watch recordings on TV (off a DVD, tape, or downloaded movie, the internet is also frozen). You are even allowed to do things like laundry or cleaning if you want to do those, but not major renovations or building things.'. That seems to imply I can move around normally while time is frozen for everyone else. So, I’m unsure why I wouldn’t be able to ‘You can’t use this opportunity to go snooping or exploring places you’ve never been.’. If I can move around, why couldn’t I, say, go over to the next house over and look in…or take a trip to Washington DC to walk into the Pentagon? What are the limitations on my movements? Also, how does the use of technology interact with my powers? Does only the toilet I’m touching work? What about the washing machine? Does my touch or my attention cause it to work? How could I, say, watch TV? Does my car work if I’m in it? Does the gas in the car go down while I’m using it…and what happens when I stop? Is the gas tank back to full or is it empty as much as I’ve used it? If the former, that should mean if I use, say, a camera or recorder that whatever I’ve recorded would still be there. If the later then how does my laundry get clean? Finally, if I freeze time and move to somewhere else, will I be wherever I moved to when I start time up again or will I be back where I started in the same position I started in? I guess as a finally finally, this thing does have the space/time adaption, right? I mean, when I freeze time then I’m freezing motion as well, correct? I don’t want to suddenly hit the wall at over 30 km/hour when the earth stops but I continue to move…or vice versa.
Depending on the answers, I might use this power sometimes, but not for anything as mundane as washing clothes or sleeping in. It’s a superpower, after all, so I’d use it for superhero type stuff. Even if you can’t interact with others (why though when I can watch TV, use the bathroom and wash clothes?), I could record wrong doings or do investigative researching. If I can change my position wrt spacial differences I could freeze time and perhaps stop a crime before it’s committed. I could almost certainly guarantee that Trump would be impeached within a fairly short time period. 
Isn’t there a saying like “Work expands to fill the amount of time available”? I think most of my time problems are really time management problems, and this power would just make them worse.
How much of a difference it would make depends on how much you used it. And you’d have to use it a lot for it to be a problem.
If you used it two mornings a week, say, to get an extra two hours’ sleep each time, that’s 2252/24 = 208 hours/24 = 8 2/3 days per year. You could do that for 42 years at the cost of 1 year of your life.
But yeah, it’s not a very super power. I’d use it pretty sparingly if I had it, because I want to be around for as much of the Firebug’s life as I can manage. Like Clothy, I would prefer the watch from John D. MacDonald’s The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything.
