    My parents made me wings from scraps of wood and fabric and I’d run along the sidewalk trying to take off.

    It never worked though.

    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?

      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?

      I don’t seek him out, but when I see screenshots of stuff he’s said, it’s usually some vacuous nonsense like this.

    I mean, no scientists have ever done a double-blind study on the effectiveness of parachutes at height. There’s a possibility that landing safely is just a placebo effect.

      Landing safely is just survivor bias. No dead parachutist ever reported a failed parachute.

    Uh, yeah I tried. I jumped off my roof with cardboard attached to my arms and flapped. It didn’t work. 😔

      When I was really young I was very confused as to why my plastic shopping bag always seemed to fail as a parachute. Reckoned I needed more height.

    I heard that it’s easier if you start from the top of a high building so you have time to get a feel for the air.

    Maybe he meant an airplane when he asked how many have tried to fly?

    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.

    This kind of a note is also one of the very first things you see in Divinity: Original Sin. I just started playing the game for the first time last night and got a chuckle out of that.
