Does Andrew not know about Airplanes or has he being trying to fly like Goku?
Pretty sure everyone my age who saw the episode of Dragon Ball Z where Gohan teaches Videl how to fly all sat there that day and fuckin tried our hardest.
One of the consequences of getting older is that you forget what its like to simply not know things.
My two year old son is constantly climbing up stuff and tumbling off it without any regard to the possibility that gravity might be holding him back. Every time he lands hard, he looks at me with tears in his eyes, as though the whole world has betrayed him. If you could just fly by not understand gravity, everyone under the age of six would be levitating constantly.
Although, in Andrew’s case, it might be less “getting older” and more “getting repeatedly concussed”.
Just wait 'til he turns 3 - that’s when they gain the teleportation skill.
It’s not true teleportation, it’s just incredible acceleration. It’s easy to mistake one for the other, if you make the mistake of blinking.
I can also note that their top speed is still limited. They can’t run on water, for example. (Guess how we found THAT one out!)
Well, it’s not enough to not understand gravity, or Isaac Newton would be the most hated human of all time. You have to fall and miss the ground, for example by being distracted in just the right moment.
liek if u cry evrytime :'(
And from that point you can just fly all the way to the restaurant at the end of the universe.
I think he was always a dumb son of a bastard
I do remember thinking something along the lines of: “… that… sounds weirdly do-able…?? … Shut up, brain… Unless…”
I’ve spent more time than I care to admit to trying to shoot ki blasts and kamehamehas out of my hands
Dbz is the first thing I thought of. Powering up and screaming while all the other kids laugh at you. Idk how I ever got a girlfriend
I did it after seeing Hook in the theater
Correct
The secret is that you have to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
I remember reading that for the first time at 13 and thinking it was the smartest fucking thing I had ever read. It makes perfect sense too. Sadly my aim is impeccable.
It’s basically how orbiting works in a roundabout way. You just needed to go faster!
in a roundabout way
Very good.
According to catholics, that’s how sex works too. Too bad they’re all sharpshooters…
Tell that to a whale or bowl of petunias that suddenly materialized in the atmosphere of a planet with gravity
Not again
I tried hiring myself out as a distraction for people just before they hit the ground but the air horn and firecrackers aren’t working, maybe I just don’t have the legs for it
I almost upvoted you, then I realized you had 42 upvotes.
Now they’re over, it might be time to downvote
If only Andrew Tate had the balls to recreate it irl
Just Aim for the bushes
You go first Andrew!
I only just noticed who the OOP was
Got whiplash seeing it was him.
Franz Reichelt, the Flying Tailor, seemed to be pretty sure he could fly when, in 1912, he tried testing a wingsuit he designed himself. By jumping from the Eiffel Tower. He could not fly.
I had a similar genius idea involving a bunk bed when I was 5.
It looks like he just wrapped himself up in a camping blanket like it’s a cape, but with a vampire-style oversized collar
Holy shit I was not prepared to see a dude fall to his death. I thought for sure it was just a glitz reel filmed the day before his failed attempt at flying
How Thomas Wayne actually died
Some crazy person eventually got their fancy wing suit to actually work eventually.
I can’t tell the difference between Andrew Tate accounts and Andrew Tate parody accounts. Wonder if he’s trying to lay the groundwork for an insanity defense?
I don’t seek him out, but when I see screenshots of stuff he’s said, it’s usually some vacuous nonsense like this.
To be the devil’s advocate, I think by fly he meant personal development, like actually trying to do something with your life. Idk don’t ask me, I’m a gamer
You’re most likely right, but didn’t he also say that it’s gay for a man to sleep with a woman for enjoyment?
Ancient Greek Philosophy has entered the chat
literal basic straightness is gay???
But I get a
stupid-lookingsweet hat off that body, plus scrolls containing a new and hilarious way to commit suicide!deleted by creator
I’m aware. Too bad the author didn’t have the player’s amazing ability to read a sheet of paper while flying at Mach speeds!
Human terminal velocity is no where near Mach speeds. Only about 120-200 mph.
Acrobatics buffs your horizontal and vertical speeds. The scroll lets you leap across a huge portion of the entire island in under ten seconds. I’m not sure how big Vvardenfell is canonically, but the caster is definitely going far faster than terminal velocity.
Great game design. Bethesda is telling the player “You can break our game with custom magic. Go do stupid shit.”
Playing Morrowind really spoiled me for the rest of the Elder Scrolls series. Many gameplay elements of it were trash, but the ability to circumvent so many of them with magic/alchemy more than made up for it. Oblivion and Skyrim somewhat improved the gameplay, but they removed the option to become a god through exploiting magic.
And Morrowind removed mechanics from Daggerfall, like climbing walls and giving yourself perks and flaws at character creation.
And Arena before that had a spell to pass through walls. That broke things infinitely worse than levitation ever did!
With the Scrolls of Icarian Flight, flying is not the problem, but the landing.
Tarhiel’s dumbass just needed to cast another scroll before landing. 🤦♂️
I believe I may have found the correct formula for the spell I am developing. With it, I will be able to travel great distances without the need to pay others for the service.
If all goes well, I will test out the new spell tomorrow. I believe I have worked out all of the possible complications. It will allow me to leap great distances, covering many hundreds of miles. Never before has one been able to travel in this manner: vaulting from the ground, sailing through the sky, all without that terrible disorientation of a spell of flying.
The time is almost upon me. My research is finished, and all of my calculations are checked and rechecked. They laughed at me when I suggested this. We’ll see who laughs after I leap to the top of their towers and scream out my success.

A friend of mine came close once. In Morrowind, he made a jumping potion that allowed him to clear the entire island and two jumps. one from the edge of the map to the top of the mountain, and then another one to the other edge of the island. He got stunned at the end of that last fall and drowned in about a foot of water.
When I was a kid my older sister fooled me into believing that if I made daily sacrifice of a specific flower in a valley near my home at exactly 6am I’d get to fly and even eat the clouds. I did that for almost a month before my mom told me the truth.
I’m pretty sure trying to fly is a pretty common experience, and many of those people tried really really hard.
I did. I settled on doing it with mechanical help.
RIght! What kid didn’t jump off a chair/table/stairs hoping to fly, it fails. Then you get a cape, because Superman wears a cape so OBVIOUSLY you needed the cape…, then jump again and it fails. So you try again a few times, maybe with a super hero pose when you jump. Then someone yells at you to stop doing that…
Just flying with a paraglider is fucking amazing. I bet this moron never even tried that. Twenty hours + theory exam and you’re good to go.
there’s a special word for people trying to make someone else fly; defenestration
I do believe that requires an open window in the vicinity as well.
Doesn’t strictly have to be open, though that will make it easier.
Can’t you just throw someone off a cliff, and then throw a window after them?
🤌
