Sticking my finger in the barrel of a cops gun so it blows up in their face.

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Then a large boxing glove pops out of the flower on my chest, and knocks the fucker to the next county.

Letting her know I like her by launching my eyeballs out of their sockets and dropping my tongue completely to the floor.

edit: Forgot the old-timey car horn sound.

arOOOOgah!

[-] WR5@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The prompt was about things we don't already do in this reality though?

[-] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Don't forget Turing your face into a wolf and howling about it.

[-] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Gonna see if i can cross over to the apartment opposite me by not looking down. This could be a miracle for transportation!

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

If that doesn't work let's try next floating while following the smell of a pie.

[-] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The possibilities for actuality are enormous here!

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I thought about it, but I think that's powered by not knowing you're in the air. The fall is triggered by the realization that you aren't on the ground, not the action of l looking down. I'm just a layman though. A comic physicist can correct me if they want.

[-] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

To me this is an open question, gonna try tomorrow and report back.

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

A comic physician could draw a bridge under ya

[-] mech@feddit.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

Hire a bird to paint a realistic-looking tunnel with my workplace behind it on my garage door, and drastically reduce commute times.

Pulling a giant hammer out of my pocket

[-] WaitThisIsntReddit@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'm going to blow into my thumb and make my dick huge.

[-] WR5@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

In a similar thought, I was thinking of asking people for help making my thumb huge...

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Phone call someone and during the split screen physically jump into their side of the call.

[-] moondoggie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Imma buy a LOT of anvils

[-] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago

Having a little hat with a propeller that allows me to fly

[-] serpineslair@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Picture this. The flintstones car, to help the environment.

[-] Kepion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

Amazed nobody has said float through the air on the waft of a delicious pie yet

[-] Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Run off a cliff and never look down = flight.

Also have an enemy draw a really cool place on a wall and run through it.

[-] lenz@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Dress as a scientist with a labcoat, and build something really quickly by pulling tools out of nowhere as a giant cloud of steam covers up what I’m doing, revealing a giant scientific looking device that is labeled “restore normal laws of physics for everyone except me”. Push the button. Now I am the only one running on cartoon logic. I have hopefully prevented others from destroying the Earth by exploding giant bombs or whatever. Or racists from coming up with a “kill all non-white people” virus. Or a variety of other horrors.

Then do things like build an anti-corruption ray and fire it at major government buildings. Panacea-ray to be given to hospitals. Climate-change regulation machine. Etc. Lots of different rays lmao.

Come up with plan to reduce suffering in the universe and harness cartoon physics into technology without someone being able to exploit this awesome power for evil. Do not do this alone. Gather others. Watch cartoons for ideas. Think this bs through a lot more.

I think I’d build a time-stopping device with immunity necklaces to place around the necks of the smartest and most compassionate people on Earth (which I’d use another tracking device to find) to give everybody time to think through ideas on what to do. That way everyone in the hospitals could stop dying while we think through ideas, giving us time to save them. Probably end up giving others the cartoon physics power after building a device to find the best candidates for the responsibility, and shooting them with the anti-corruption ray.

Probably shoot MYSELF with the anti-corruption ray to keep myself from going insane with power.

Fix the world, then later, fix the universe. End involuntary suffering. End involuntary death for those who do not wish to die. Fix entropy. Have fun forever.

I work as a slot technician. One of our jobs is moving slot machines with hand trucks. When setting them down, one typically counterbalances the weight of the machine with their body. I wanna get catapulted across the casino floor, fly through the air while screaming like Goofy, and hit the wall leaving a silhouette-shaped hole.

Thankfully, the only injury I should sustain is little coins going around my head.

[-] oneser@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Which, in this economy, seems less like an injury and more a reward.

[-] Vanth@reddthat.com 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Have a conversation with my now-talking dog.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm going to walk off a cliff with my eyes closed and see how far I can get before I fall.

Then that road runner is going to get whats coming to it.

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I live in America, so I'm digging a hole lime Bugs Bunny and traveling to anywhere else after taking a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

If it counts, I'd love to have a portable black circle disk thing like in Toontown so I could return home in an instant.

If that doesn't count, I wouldn't mind having falls only cause me to accordion and not take much, if any, damage if I land on my feet paws.

Edit: Instant, not instance.

Also, realized being able to grab things from thought bubbles visible only to me would be nice. Need to defend myself? I now have a, hopefully, fully loaded glock whenever I need one.

[-] harcesz@szmer.info 2 points 3 weeks ago

Carry around a ACME black hole, just in case.

[-] Deebster@infosec.pub 2 points 3 weeks ago

Farting so hard I fly

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not reading the book on gravity, for starters. 🤌🏼

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think anyone has mentioned buying some invisible paint!

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Boing! Boing! Jumping off a roof so I can bounce bounce bounce, I can't jump for shit IRL and I want to.

Also maybe some NSFW stuff I am not about to detail.

[-] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Have you tried a trampoline?

(For the bounce - but also for NSFW stuff I guess..)

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I have a reoccurring dream about that.

Bouncing, that is. Cough, cough....

Launching out of a cannon and floating to safety at the end by opening a very small umbrella.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

IRL Rocket Jumping.

Probably still gonna hurt, but not anywhere near as much, and my body will not be, you know, liquified/dismembered, just comically singed.

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm gonna sneak up behind you, and...

MEEP! MEEP!

[-] 58008@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm gonna get a stupidly-hot wife despite being a fat layabout piece of shit with a clear neurological condition.

I guess that's not really physics related, so I'll also add "gracefully float towards delicious food on a wafting scent trail". I could toss a burger down a canyon and use the scent trail to lower myself down safely. Like a Portal gun, but for fat layabout pieces of shit with clear neurological conditions 👍

Step #1: Integrate "AI" into all ACME products; including anvils and dynamite.

Step #2: Draft press release that we expect to have solved the "roadrunner conundrum" by the end of the third quarter.

Step #3: Repeat Step #2 for a couple of years.

Step #4: Fail to deliver on the promise of Step #2.

Step #5: Exit the business with my now substantial fortune, leaving the Wyle E. Coyote holding the bag.

[-] 5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Jump from the highest building in town and use my pants as a parachute.

[-] solomonschuler@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

Run 10,000 miles horizontally before gravity starts taking into effect.

[-] callyral@pawb.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Draw a tunnel or a door on a wall and see where it leads. Perhaps into the room on the other side, maybe into a pocket dimension.

[-] Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm going to Costco and buying a palette of bananas.

I can probably cut my commute time by 80% and sow mass chaos in the process.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Now THAT'S Ludacris.
