You and I are coming up with a very good idea for a weird short story... is what happens. ;)
I learned about this when I bought an Asian scooter. There were many stores here in Dallas that sold Chinese scooters. All of them were clones of the Honda design GY6 engine. In the US one company would make these things... in this case Honda, since they owned the design. But in China a scooter factory could appear in Shenzhen... make thousands of engines based on the honda design from interchangeable parts made by so many other factories... and then after 6 months? Poof. Gone forever.
I thought about this a lot. The western model of patents and "intellectual property" is good in many ways. But on the other hand (an English idiom that means 'in contrast to')... in China ideas flow freely and everyone is a pirate. So getting parts for a Chinese GY6? hard and easy... Hard because there is not "original manufacturer" in many cases. But easy because a zillion other factories make a part that is 93% compatible. ;)
But that was years ago. I think the next shock for the west will be Chinese cars...
I hope you do not mind the long response.

I dunno.
That's amazing and all...
But 'stop time' still beats him...
And if he absorbs my power?
I can win him over telling him about the nap!
Or...
Is the universe flowing through my timeline?
I am asking you... onesie again...
I wanted to put a "target" emoji... but alas.. I am on Yaki....
Stop time.
Its as good as being invisible.
But safer.
And I can take a nap!
We all have a best foot.
Every day.
Put it forward!
Finally! Something that doesn't sock!
No wait. I mean it does sock!
No wait...
Nevermind...
I am on my fifth Bitcoin epoch.
How bout you?
I agree. But there ate many kinds of kings.
Are you not one?
HOLY SHIT 👀
RFK Jr. has had enough of the charade, and calls out Bernie to his face about accepting millions from pharmaceutical companies.
RFK Jr. said the quiet part out loud. Pharmaceutical companies own our politicians.
And look at how badly Bernie panics.
MUST WATCH!
I used to be a Bernie fan boy.

But Bernie has a cute little hammer.
Diffee and Hellman.
But you do NOT want to follow me... though you might already. FOOL! :)
No no no no no no no no no no
Lmdb is an efficient database.
