When I saw that Kanshi wasn’t moving screws faster into these ziplock bags, I immediately realised he’d be screwed: those 3 days would feel like 30 days.

I suppose that he managed to do 30 days of work in just 3 days, but at what cost!?

When Kanshi’s time returned to normal, he’d grown unaccustomed to the regular speed of life. Was this the mental breakdown that Nico had mentioned as one of the spell’s aftereffects?

i was thinking the one thing you could do in sped up time would be to consume media, one long weekend would turn into a whole month of reading, single player gaming (if you have an emulator that can run at 10x), or watching digital media

I thought of the gaming and digital media thing, but then realized the problem with them. For the show's you'd probably have to watch them fast forwarded or something so maybe it could work. For the games, on the other hand, unless you're playing on an emulator, you can't really speed up gameplay. For physical media I was also wondering if he'd end up turning pages so fast that he might rip them.

in another comment i realized that even with digital media, your screen refresh rate might be a problem, though you could at least be entertained with watching stuff at effectively lower fps. as for tearing pages it didn't seem like strength/speed was a problem for him elsewhere, and he could learn that pretty quickly if needed anyways
