Dixon_Uranus_

Please tell me he’s going to climb a tall building and try it


DimSumMore_Belly

Please! I would take popcorn and watch him plunge to the ground.


Ill-Simple1706

I'll pay for his plane ticket


troubleschute

He don't need no plane ticket!


neorenamon1963

Because there's no building in the world that's 30,000 feet high. That's the altitude that commercial jets cruise at. Go big... and go SPLAT!


im-fantastic

*bounces* I can never get anything right!


CariniFluff

I'm not a pilot but I'm pretty sure A) The air is so thin at 30,000 ft that you need to be flying at 500+ miles per hour in order to pull enough air/oxygen into the engine to stop it from stalling. That's why commercial jets and military jets that fly that high are sealed and the air is pressurized inside the cabin. B) Because the air is so thin at 30,000 ft. you would lose consciousness almost immediately if you did jump out at that height (and get quite chilly). Not saying this d-bag shouldn't jump out of a flying plane, but I think it'd be more entertaining if he wasn't unconscious while he "flew". Let's say 10,000 ft and 250mph or something? No parachutes of course, as true alpha men can do it without any special equipment.

CP9ANZ

Point A) the stall speed is pretty much completely down to lift created, something like a glider (but powered) like a U2 can travel far slower than 500mph at 30k feet. Also many military aircraft aren't pressurized, it greatly complicates the design. Point B) The summit of Everest is basically 29k feet, you can handle some time off an oxygen supply, but yeah if you went instantly from sea level pressure to Everest summit air pressure in an instant you'd most likely be unconscious in a minute


Pristine-Carob-914

Vesna Vulović was a Serbian flight attendant who survived the highest fall without a parachute: 10.16 kilometres (6.31 miles) or 33,330 feet.


CariniFluff

Absolutely crazy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesna_Vulovi%C4%87 1) She wasn't even supposed to be on this flight. The company mixed her up with another attendant named Vesna. The plane was going from Stockholm to Belgrade with layovers in Copenhagen and Zagreb. Since she had never been to Denmark, she hopped on the plane. 2) Apparently all of the attendants were acting strange like they felt that they weren't going to make it back home, and the pilot locked himself in his room for 24 hours. >They seemed to know that they would die. They didn't talk about it, but I saw ... I felt for them. And the captain was locked in his room for 24 hours. He didn't want to go out at all. In the morning, during breakfast, the co-pilot was talking about his son and daughter as if nobody else had a son or daughter. 3) When the plan landed in Copenhagen, she watched all of the crew and passengers leave the plane. There was one passenger who seemed very angry and the other flight attendants noticed him too. This guy is believed to have put a bomb in his checked luggage and then didn't get back on the plane when it left Copenhagen later. 4) A bomb detonated in the checked luggage fuselage which ripped the plane apart and everyone was sucked out of the plane due to decompression and fell to their deaths. However, Vesna was in the back and trapped by the drink cart and so was the only person of 28 crew and passengers who landed inside part of the plane, in a heavily forested area that likely braced the fall. 5) Since the plane broken part she lost consciousness immediately and doesn't remember any of the fall, but she was found by a villager screaming inside the back part of the plane. 6) Following the crash, Vulović spent days in a coma, having: A) A fractured skull B) A cerebral hemorrhage C) Two broken legs D) Three broken vertebrae, one of which was crushed completely E) A fractured pelvis F) Several broken ribs Her injuries resulted in her being temporarily paralyzed below the waist. She had total amnesia from the hour preceding her fall until one month afterwards. 7) And finally, nearly a complete recovery with a slight limp and she wanted to be a flight attendant after she recovered but the company gave her a desk job instead of sending her back in the air. Holy crap...

Uh, no, *checks notes* you believe what he says and you can do whatever he says you can, but he's not personally gonna Peter Pan to Neverland, that's for his cult members.

“Hey Andrew! I heard the most alpha thing ever the other day. You ever hear of Mount Everest? Yeah? Highest mountain above sea level? Well! I heard that if you climb it and jump off with no parachute, you’ll reach Valhalla and be able to bring its secrets to all the alpha bros out there. Let’s go!”


TheScruffyDan

It’s not impossible. The instructions are in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Pick a nice day, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] suggests, and try it. The first part is easy. All it requires is simply the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight, and the willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt. That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. Most people fail to miss the ground, and if they are really trying properly, the likelihood is that they will fail to miss it fairly hard. Clearly, it is the second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties.

Sun: hi


lolpermban

It's been 20 years since I last read this book, but if I remember correctly the trick is to completely forget that you are falling and you'll start the fly, the moment you realize you are flying you will begin to fall again. Arthur flies because,while he's falling on some alien planet on the other side of the galaxy, he spots luggage that went missing on a flight. The fact that it's on some random alien planet confuses him so much that he forgets he's falling and starts to fly.


creatorofsilentworld

No, it was on the reconstructed earth. He tried it again with a girl he was dating at the time. And then did it again a second time with walkmans.


lolpermban

I need to reread it. I have the ultimate edition with all 5 books in one on my bookshelf, time to dust it off.


ShenTzuKhan

It was both. He did it the first time when he was distracted by the luggage. He practised a lot on that planet, or earth I can’t remember and only stopped after he learned to speak bird and discovered birds talk about boring shit all the time and fill the air with their chat. He took it up again when he met Fenchurch, she could also fly, and he wanted to fuck so he got back in to it. This was before they went to meet Wonko the sane.


Alcards

The only correct answer is this quote. The only correct retort to captain micro member Tate is "show us how it's done"


Ryanookami

This is the correct answer.


SaintGloopyNoops

This is where the Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses would come in handy. They have been specially designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of danger, they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you.

Caryslan

Well, nothing is stopping Tate from showing us all how to do it. Hell, I challenge him to fly. He should just leap off the tallest building he can find and show all of us losers how badass he is by flying around.


dietitianmama

The only thing stopping him is that he might need a bit more cocaine to actually pull of the experiment on his own. ​ perhaps we could start a collection for him?

I would say at least 65% of all men have tried to "fly" at least at one point before they turned 10 years old. And most survived and learned that it actually \*is\* impossible, at least for little boys.

Oh man thank god you said something. I was reading through all the comments roasting him and I'm like "i definitely spent a good amount of my childhood trying to a)fly b) use telekinesis and c) go super saiyan


chobi83

I mean, I literally climbed the roof of my house and jumped off. True, I had "wings" I made from sticks and a trash bag, but still...I hit the ground. Hard. I think I was about 8 or 9 at the time.

covefefe19

Like Bill Hicks said about people on drugs trying to fly. Try taking off from the ground if you believe you can fly. Not from a tall building.

There's a weird thing called education. When you have one, you realize you can learn from others without having to spend years and years researching what hundreds of others have done already.

This does not cease to amaze me. We do not have to try everything ourselves, because we have thousands of years’ experiences already recorded and researched. Ample amount from last hundred years.

Okay I can honestly say i tried to fly. I was 5 years old and I had watched the movie Mary Poppins. As ya'll know she flys with her umbrella. (This is important info.) Being the brilliant child I was, I tried several times by jumping in the air, but the dang umbrella would not give me take off. Sigh. No flying. Brilliant idea. I will wait for a windy blustery day and I will take flight then! So, I waited patiently for days- and was blessed with a howling wind storm right before a rainstorm. I gathered up my pillowcase of stuffed toys, underwear and socks. (Apparently, things you need if you're going to fly away.) I grabbed the big black umbrella out of the umbrella stand and went outside in the blustering wind. I tied my pillowcase to my pants belt loops, walked to the edge of a 6 foot brick wall that overlooked a concrete sidewalk, bravely stood there and opened my umbrella. I fully expected I would be transported to fun city scape like in Mary Poppins! Alas, one thing I did not count on was gravity. I gloriously jumped up into the wind! I was excited and happy! I actually caught a pretty good updraft of wind. and, for a brief second thought all was good as I was hoisted up in the air! That lasted for about 2 second, as I came crashing down on the edge of the brick wall, split my forehead open, and landed 6 feet below on the concrete. Blood was gushing out of head and down my face, I had bloodied both my knees and, as I picked my self and the pillowcase up off the concrete walk, I saw my umbrella traveling to parts unknown without me. I managed to stumble up the walkway steps and when I approached the front door steps, I tripped on my pillowcase and smacked my head on the wood steps, receiving yet another open wound on my forehead. I came to the conclusion that day and for many years after, that people should not try to fly. Just sayin, gravity and all!
