I guess I find it interesting that so many people assume if they had a time manipulation super power they'd still have a normal day job with meetings and emails and busy work?
If I could do 10 hours worth of work in 10 minutes I'd be the world's most saught after self employed specialist in fuckin any one of hundreds of time sensitive fields.
I could do a week's worth of billable hours before lunchtime on Monday and that's without having to spend a week completing a law degree.
Even assuming the dilation is that strong, the example given was that you could get four hours of stuff done in three hours that feels like six hours. 10 hours of work done in ten minutes that feels like doing 20 hours straight (if it's just doubling) or that feels like 600 hours (if it's proportional to the dilation) is either burnout inducing or super hell.
Oh yeah! I misread that.
Having 25% more time in the day but everything taking twice as much effort is a terrible deal.
Figurative time seems like a wagie cope. "I'm stuck doing menial tasks for a longer time but I hardly notice!"

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
maybe if I had more literal time
....
Or I have massive ADHD and the thought of boredom vexes me constantly.
That and I have waited in enough ERs to value figurative time highly.
aaahhh that's why I don't get the question
