re: Change Of Pace HOTD: Would You Rather: Fly At 15 MPH or Run At 50 MPH?

Fly at 15 MPH.

Without proper clothing and equipment running at 50 MPH will tear your skin up with wind drag.

You think a human who could fly is not marketable?

I think it would bother the shite out of me if I could only fly slow. It would be like having blue balls for the rest of your life.

I can see that. But I take it to mean that the 15mph limitation is only in the horizontal and up directions, and that I can fall as fast as anyone else. In other words, 15mph is the max of my self-powered speed. So then I could fly up at an angle toward where I want to go, then fall/fly much faster down at an angle and get more horizontal speed using gravity and wind.

I'm taking flying as well. Want to climb Everest? Strap on a bottle of 02 and skip the line. Fly the Grand Canyon? You bet.

Or, you portray it as insane jumping ability. I imagine it’d be pretty hard to guard anyone in any sport where the person can literally propel themselves as high as they want. Sure, you’d get caught running, but no one can defend your dunk from half court.

I'll go with flying. That way when I leave at halftime, I could just fly out of my seat at TS and beat the crowd.

Also if I could fly, I suppose I could just get the Center to direct snap and I fly to the end zone. Sounds like a way to make a decent living.

I think that would get old fast in today's society. You'd be a star for a short period, but when people realized all you could do is fly at a slow speed and nothing else, they'd move on.

You think someone who could shite all over the laws of physics would get old?

Let's forget that you would be studied by science for your entire life, and let's forget that you would be the most valuable endorsement that has ever existed, and let's just focus on the practical applications.


You would be the most efficient skyscraper window-washer in the world. No expensive and time-consuming rigging necessary, just grab a squeegee and go.

You could hang christmas lights like nobody's business.

You could cross the river whenever you want regardless of traffic.


I could go on all day.

This just got more complicated.

Right, you would be the only person in the world who could literally give a flying frick.
