  • You can fly but you can never stop flying
  • You can turn invisible, but never be seen again

    How pedantic do we get to be? Like, I’d be fine with flying because I could just hover a millimeter from the ground instead of standing, I would think

      My stepson asks all kinds of questions like this and highly scientific pedantry is my go-to move.

      Hmm I think anything is fine really hah. I feel like it’d get weird never being able to touch the ground again, like I’d feel so detatched from things

          Good point. If you fly feet forward towards the ground with an acceleration of 9,81 m/s2 it should feel pretty much like normal standing with gravity.
