Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

Run at a 100.

Flying at 10 mph gets you locked up in a CIA lab.

Run at 100 lets you become a professional runner (just run slightly faster than the record. Don't run at a 100 mph.).

I kinda wanna fly just for the sake of it, but now I fear the CIA

Run. I want to really confuse a traffic cop.

Fly. Cars are much easier to get a seat on than planes. Also, slow flying in tight areas is really hard for aircraft to do, so I'll have some pretty unique capabilities - you could argue 10 is better than 1000.

If I pick running, then I'll need super sight and reactions as well since there will be other people and cars on the path/roads.

Flying, yep.

Fly, because then I could visit folks I care about whenever I wanted.

At 10 mph? Why not just run down the highway?

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because I don't live on the land masses where the people I care about live, so the only way to get there would be to fly.

It would take 41 days non-stop flying to cross the Atlantic at that speed. Bit of an extreme example but yeah

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz 2 points 6 months ago

Sure, but at least it would be free.

Everyone saying run, how do you know you can't? 🤔

I've always thought that if I could fly, it would probably tire me out faster than running, which tires me out faster than walking. If that were the case, honestly? I ain't running places either, what makes you think I would fly there?
