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

[Mr F.]

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.

 

[DoPo]

Well, there is only one thing that I can do - I'll blame Kross. Well, after that, I'll just float around.

 

[RedFeather1975]

Trying to navigate my apartment with the decreased gravity causes me to bump my head and get knocked unconscious.
I wake up to realize the flux capacitor and secret to the dark matter engine. The rest is obvious.

 

[aba1]

I would get nervous to do anything because altering gravity changes the way just about everything works. I can only imagine how bad driving would go and the mess the roads would be.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

First thing?

Find someone to do this on.

I haven't decided what else I'd do.

 

[White Lightning]

Probably go to work like I always do. I mean really no gravity would probabaly get old after like 10 minutes.

Captcha: jump over

Well I guess I'll have too seeing as how Cars and other modes of Transportation probably won't work.

 

[IndomitableSam]

Hop along to work? If I get like 10-20 feet per hop, anyway. It's a bit of a drive... so if I can't jump that fast... call in gravity sick? I dunno.

Then go outside and jump around the field out the back door. See if I can do flips and such. Maybe try to jump on the roof.

... Basically I'd act like I was 8 years old.

 

[Doclector]

Become a free runner, at long last.

Also make weak jokes about upgrading agility in dishonored.

 

[Mr F.]

Heh. Loving some of the responses.

Glad I added the "Please ignore science" disclaimer.

I do not really know what I would do personally. Probably just run around jumping and whatnot. Find my girlfriend and do an epic "floating off a building like some form of deity" air kiss. Along with the pre-requisite back flips. Knowing me I would probably still manage to injure myself epicly.

 

[DugMachine]

Do crazy flips in the air and climb buildings with ease

 

[Tdoodle]

Punch the first whale that floated out of the ocean. Right in it's smug face.

 

[Aaron Sylvester]

Enjoy the remaining few minutes of my life before the earth loses it's atmosphere and we get fried (or frozen).

 

[L0dest0ne]

Jump over a bunch of houses on the way to the bus stop. Also, petition the olympic committee for a new sport: competitive jumping! I mean, with the new gravity it would be much more entertaining than with today's gravity.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Realise my childhood dream of playing in the NBA

 

[Thaluikhain]

I don't think I would wake up, the pressure would suddenly drop and the air wouldn't sustain me.

Likewise, don't think the house I live in was designed with sudden changes of gravity in mind.

 

[Aris Khandr]

Hide indoors all day. People can't drive in the freaking rain, I refuse to be around whatever sort of vehicular nonsense they manage in moon gravity.

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.

 

[Reginald]

Jump around. Jump around. Jump up, jump up, and get down.

Build my own set of wings. Fly everywhere. Stop giving a shit about anything else, because hey, flight!
