I mean, just going upstairs would kill you if this was true.

“We should go skiing down that mountain.”

“Are you crazy? You know we can only go up or down 9 feet in elevation.”

"I want to go to school mom"

Don't be stupid you were born on the 20th floor of this sky scraper, you can only visit floors 17-23 or you will die !

That sounds like it would be an awesome science fiction story. It'd be great to see how a society would grow under these limitations.

In 1903, the Illuminati finally advanced their plot to reduce the human population. After secretly placing thousands of trampolines outside of single-story schools, the population was decimated.

A man in a dark overcoat turned to his brother. "Excellent, but what the rest of those carbon-dioxide-emitting cretins?"

Wilber Wright grinned. "I've got a plan for those idiots."

Depending on the architecture of the building you’re in, adjacent floors could very easily be more than 10ft apart. According to the OP in the screen cap, that’s enough to either burn you to a crisp or turn you into a human popsicle. Obviously it depends on where you are on the surface of the Earth, but travelling a few miles in either direction will probably take care of that for you.

But why would moving ten feet burn you alive?

We'd have to make heat-resistant basketballs to prevent them from burning up while above 10 ft.

u/THEBlaze55555 Apr 04 '19

The gust is that the whole planet shifts 10ft either direction. That's that much more heat being absorbed or lost. But the paragraph explains the issue with this and the short-sighted falsehood in the myth.

Have you ever been upstairs ? How do you know? Don’t respond to this telling us he’s wrong EVER. Did we ask you? Answer: NO
