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.
May the force be with you.
How do you think I open automatic doors?
Remember when automatic doors were activated by a switch under a rubber mat?
Pepperidge Farm remembers
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
I've been trying since I was 9 and I'm still trying with 33.
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".
At least once? Almost any time something is just out of reach, I give it a go before moving. It's just plain fun.
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…
Did it work?
At least once? I try all the time, it takes training, what if it just starts working and I just don't try?
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.
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
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...
No, I tried telekinesis.
Yes, i tried once very recently out of habit because i have been playing Half Life Alyx
Saaame. Did it in a dream too
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!!
I've attempted many times.
I've only succeeded once.
I do it everyday.
Sure, the force is kinetic, but that's just details.
I don't think certain body parts count.
Tried?
Only once? I tried it multiple times during my life just in case I gained the powers later like Anikin.
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 😌
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.
I also tried to fly on multiple occasions.
Do or do not, there is no try. I have only succeed in do not.
In my dreams but it actually works.
That requires moving my hand, which is way too much effort some times.
Pretty much every day I try to force-choke a colleague too.
When Matilda moves things with her mind, is she using the Force? If so, then yes.
I feel called out
Bro I grew up watching Matilda and Alex Mack so yeah but also nah
I blame my hemorrhoid on trying this too damn hard.
I do it with my force all the time, its so easy.
Every day just in case I unlock a latent ability.
Literally every time I want the remote.
25 ppl tried and failed.
Once ever? Once a week maybe!
Yes I have. :)
Only once? 😅
At least once. There's a difference.
What kind of idiot only tries once? Maybe it was an off day.
I have witnesses of me using the Force to get a strike in bowling.
I called it TK, but it's the same shit tbh 😅
Gulity
At least once? I try ever poop to move something on my counter!
I actually hadn't... but now I have! The tea cup refused to move though, unfortunate.
Permanently Deleted
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.
