Pathetic. I can easily overcome the gravitational pull of all the milky way just with my pinkie.

Not to "Ermmm acshually" but you haven't overcome the gravitational pull you've just counteracted it.

Overcoming it is significantlly more difficult.

As a kid I used to dream that I could levitate by sort of straining my muscles upward and lifting myself away from the ground. It would be pretty cool to do that IRL.

Funny, I had a similar series of dreams as a kid like that. I just sort of learned to ‘walk upwards’ and levitate.

Then gravity reminds you who's boss the next time you trip over your own feet

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Nope. Gravity goes both ways. Actually it's the curve of space time pushing you toward another mass. And you can only overcome because your mass is puny next to the earth.

what does gravity even bench?

Gravity is the only fundamental force that can bend time tho

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't it the other way around? Mass bends spacetime and gravity is the result?

I read this in the voice of Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Magnetic force is hilariously weak. Go ahead and raise your hand. You literally just over came the magnetic pull of the ENTIRE EARTH.
