Time skip

I was pondering...

There is, as I recall, a film that has a guy finds some universal remote that, amongst other things, allows him to skip forward. The moral of the film is he skips over his entire life and regrets it.

But this would, some times, be cool - right? It is 4pm on a Saturday and I am doing nothing special, watching TV (a show I have watched before) and a bit hungry - if only I had a magic button to make it 6pm and I could order Chinese now.

But yes, massively tempting to "skip" more and more, I am sure.

To be fair, if I had a magic button to skip ahead I would want it to not eat from my life time as well, that would be way more sensible.

But we sort of have this - it is sleep - we can skip over 6 to 8 hours of time over night (and use up some of our life).

It is almost a shame we cannot simply choose exact periods that would be handy to skip instead, maybe.
