You wake up one morning and gravity has all but stopped working. What do you do?

MUST... RESIST... DOUCHY... SCIENCE... ANSWER...

I would probobly reenact every over the top cheesy martial art battle with anyone willing to humour me. It would be in slow motion of course, but throwing flying side kicks across skyscrapers would be awesome regardless.

Now there's a disturbing implication...

I'd stay inside pretty much for a long while. So I can adjust.

Even if gravity is aimed downwards, I don't wanna risk something knocking me around and sending me floating up into the atmosphere.

Sit very still and laugh while watching the rest of you guys learn very painfully the difference between weight and mass.

More than likely, anyone stupid enough to take your dare would die. Having only one sixth the normal levels of acceleration increases the time it takes to get to killing levels of speed, but that does not stop you from reaching that point given a long fall.

In other words, when jumping from a 100 meter building, it may take you 11 seconds to hit the ground instead of about 4.5, but you'll still be moving at 18 meters per second at the end.

Oh please don't tell me "You wake up one morning...." is the new "The last [insert game or something etc] you did is now your new....".

OT- I would probably stay indoor as I don't want to risk ending up flying above the atomsphere when I go outside.

After reading the thread that gave me inspiration I decided to make this one.

Cause this sounds fun.

Essential premise: You wake up one morning and step out of bed. You immediately notice something feels weird but you go about your day. Its only when you drop a glass whilst making breakfast that things click.

Gravity has all but stopped working! Things are floating, downwards, but still all but floating. Essentially, Earth now has a gravitational field weaker then that of the moon.

IGNORE THE SCIENCE. YOU CAN FLOAT A BIT AND JUMP AROUND. WHAT DO?

Also, And this one is to the mods: Ha ha ha, but the captcha I just did is insulting and could upset people. "Which one does not belong" and the only option being emo kid. Really? Who else you going to pick on? Head back to recaptcha. Adverts and weak insults are not brilliant.
So... its just weaker not gone? That whole "All but" has always confused me. If something is all but gone than wouldn't that mean that something is everything except gone?

As long as I can't fly off the Earth into the vacuum of space I would have a fun time zooming in the air all over the place. I would dare people to jump off sky scrappers. (how many of us could even knowing we wouldn't die)

That is of course assuming the atmosphere doesn't dissipate from the lack of gravity.
I said ignore the science! Assume that the atmosphere is being kept alive by... Elves or some shit.

I dunno, its 4am.

And "All but gone" means that it is really weak. Like... I dunno. Its 4am. Why am I even awake?
