    “We found a drug that extends someone’s perception of time. Imagine having small moments of extended peace during a busy week, or time to decompress after trauma, or using it to prolong pleasurable moments…”

    “Okay but what if we used it to make hell a reality?”

      When you said busy week it kinda clicked lmao.

      What if we got 7 day work week with 12 hours a day, but you get one single 8 minute break with this stuff.

      Well either that or underperforming employees get 2 minutes in the time prison idk.

        Jokes on them I LOVE the time prison

        I’ll spend a thousand years learning to speak in limericks and then we’ll see who’s in a prison of cruel design

      Perhaps in civilized countries it will be used that way.

      But for others the appeal of slave labor, political donations, and bloodlust as justice is too strong.

      Didn’t we literally have an episode of DS9 about this? O’Brien tries to kill himself because of it.
