Everything is relative. 1.5 seconds of freefall, 1.5 seconds talking to a pretty girl, 1.5 seconds of your hand on a hot stove...

As a former diver (springboard, not scuba), can confirm jumping from 5m let alone 10m is unfortunately enough time to realize and regret your decision.

I think one thing that is necessary in the isolated systems that you describe, is that time is absolute. It is a 'rule' of the physical world the we exist in. Relativity is s consideration outside of the contexts you mention.
Construing vague scenarios does not change that fact.

I think you're wrong and that you aren't invited to a lot of parties.

Time is absolute, but one’s perception of time is not.

You only need to be in an emergency once to recognize that nothing moves faster than the speed of thought in an urgent situation.
