How do you think I open automatic doors?
Show threadNougatOct 11, 2023
Remember when automatic doors were activated by a switch under a rubber mat?

My local pharmacy has the mat still, it doesn’t operate the door anymore

As a kid you had to jump on them to make them work

Show threadpumafred09Oct 11, 2023
Same with changing the traffic lights.
Show threadpsudOct 12, 2023
You use incantations for changing lights “red light green light one, two, three”
Show threadthorcikOct 12, 2023
Was it red-red-green or red-green-red?

At least once? Almost any time something is just out of reach, I give it a go before moving. It’s just plain fun.
Show threadCubbyTustardOct 11, 2023

My nephew was so into star wars, like everything in his bedroom was star wars themed, he loved the Clone Wars cartoons more than anything.

So me I go to a magic shop and buy one of those ‘levitate anything’ illusions and use it to convince him that I have the force. Only it’s reeeaallllyyy hard for me ‘use the force’ buddy so it has to be in a dimly lit room and I can’t do it on command when we see your friends buddy.

I had him going for years!!

Show threadWodgeOct 11, 2023
I do it every day, just to check, as I’m not gonna be one of these idiots with the force for years without realizing it.
Show threadTheOneAndOnlyOct 12, 2023
May the force be with you.
Show threadCaptainBlagbirdOct 11, 2023
I can actually send an object in one direction and have it magically returned by itself and without preparation. Though it only works straight up and back down 😌
Show threadiegodOct 11, 2023
Every day just in case I unlock a latent ability.
Show threadshalafiOct 11, 2023

Remote controls. You’ve all done it.

Similarly, after playing Portal, I was constantly scheming on how to get an object.

“OK, open portal on the ceiling, open portal under remote on the kitchen counter…”

While we’re at it, I’ve been chunking stuff aside like Skywalker chunking his lightsaber and refusing to fight the Emperor. This has been going on for 30+ years.

Show threadsomeguy3Oct 11, 2023
That requires moving my hand, which is way too much effort some times.
Show threadmeseek #2982Oct 11, 2023
At least once? I try ever poop to move something on my counter!
Show threadflossdailyOct 11, 2023
Literally every time I want the remote.

Only once? 😅
Show threadZorqueOct 11, 2023
At least once. There's a difference.
Show threadBiptaOct 11, 2023
What kind of idiot only tries once? Maybe it was an off day.
Show thread🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆Oct 11, 2023

I’ve attempted many times.

I’ve only succeeded once.

Show threadDragonTypeWyvernOct 11, 2023

I do it everyday.

Sure, the force is kinetic, but that’s just details.

I don’t think certain body parts count.

I called it TK, but it’s the same shit tbh 😅

Tried?
Show threadZarosOct 11, 2023
I actually hadn’t… but now I have! The tea cup refused to move though, unfortunate.
Show thread1984Oct 11, 2023
Yes I have. :)

Once ever? Once a week maybe!
Show threadtopinambour_rexOct 11, 2023
No, I tried telekinesis.
Show threadrimjob_rainerOct 11, 2023
I’ve been trying since I was 9 and I’m still trying with 33.
Show threadCaptPretentiousOct 11, 2023

You really have to! Spider-Man wasn’t born Spider-Man, he became Spider-Man one day. You can’t know what/when will trigger your ability to use the force. So constant testing is required.

Small tangent, that’s the excuse I also use every time I’m drinking something and it goes down the wrong tube “Nope, still not Aquaman”.

Show threadApeman42Oct 11, 2023

Of course. I test myself for spontaneously-developed superpowers all the time, just in case.

I just hope if it’s the human torch thing that eventually works, that I’m also fireproof…

I have witnesses of me using the Force to get a strike in bowling.

When Matilda moves things with her mind, is she using the Force? If so, then yes.

It’s literally no more embarrassing than praying to a Judeo-Christian god.
Show threadAllonzeeLVOct 11, 2023

It’s literally no more embarrassing than praying to one of the thousands of Gods and demons humans have dreamed up for the purpose of worshipping.

I always find it funny that worshipping Zeus or Apollo in 2023 would be seen as ridiculous, despite having been worshipped extensively by real people in the past, yet right now human beings are literally murdering human beings using the validation of their imaginary friend being the one true imaginary friend.

That is some intense roleplay.

Show threadSunkblakeOct 11, 2023
Yes, i tried once very recently out of habit because i have been playing Half Life Alyx
Show threadventusvirOct 11, 2023
Saaame. Did it in a dream too

I do it with my force all the time, its so easy.
Show threadKidsTryThisAtHomeOct 11, 2023
At least once? I try all the time, it takes training, what if it just starts working and I just don’t try?
Show threadorbitzOct 11, 2023
Yeah but I’d expect more stories of telekinesis if it ever worked, so I only try sometimes. Once did the Jedi mind trick hand wave for fun while high, got a laugh but don’t think they were swayed to whatever I suggested. Though was mostly hoping for a laugh at the time so got some success.
Show threadKidsTryThisAtHomeOct 12, 2023
Maybe that’s our problem, no one’s done it before so there’s still a small part of us that doesn’t think it’s possible. The solution is simple, start wearing robes and train every day (👁 ͜ʖ👁) like it was literally one of Yoda’s first lessons to Luke that he fails because he doesn’t believe… Brb gonna try to lift my car out of that tar pit again, and this time I’m gonna believe so hard

Yeah and it worked.

I mean it was complete coincidence but my mind was blown for half a second.

Show threadjtkOct 11, 2023
In the 80’s, I had a stress ball that I put on my entertainment center and tried it, only took a few seconds and the thing fell off!.. because it had expanded back into a ball shape and rolled. At least I learned a fun trick to amaze my younger sister with :)

Hell, that’s the least I’ve done.

When I was a kid, me and my friend were obsessed with the movie Tron. Like the makers of that movie, we had no concept of how computers actually work. But we wanted to be inside one! So one night we typed “START: TRON >> ENTER GAME GRID” on the command line of his dad’s PC and the laid our sleeping bags around the PC and went to sleep; hoping we’d wake up inside the computer all dressed in blue…
