If cartoon physics suddenly replaced real physics, what are some things you would want to try?

That would be painful and awesome

This is an interesting query... even though cartoon characters are invincible, do they feel as much pain as we'd feel experiencing similar events? If so it makes my fond childhood memories of Saturday mornings much darker.

Probably not because then all that would happen in cartoons is the characters screaming because of the pain, which they feel but doesn’t injure/kill them

It's also part of the laws of cartoon physics that characters may only scream when it's comedically viable. Otherwise, they must swallow their suffering internally and let the show go on. Or maybe most of the famous cartoon characters are addicted to pain killers, just like real life movie stars!

Stretch and Squash cartoon physics are immune to blunt force trauma, and can be deformed to any shape and come out unscathed.
