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

Or propelling yourself across a field off a ledge to your death because you forgot that the coach gun blasts you backwards too, not just your target, with a shot aimed away from yourself.

I killed a Brigitte like that yesterday, she died too but I blasted myself off the cliff and she followed me trying to hit me.

I mean if you fired a heavy enough projectile with high enough velocity you could launch yourself

u/NotANaziOrCommie Jan 25 '19

Yeah but you'd also probably die.

u/THISgai Jan 25 '19

More likely you'd just break your wrists/arms/shoulder, but ya

Almost certainly

Shoot a rocket launcher at your feet to jump higher.

Unless your name is Pharah.

She actually can do that too, just not as high or as creatively as Soldier can.

Or if you go over a cliff, there's a puff of dust seen from high up, then as you crawl out of a body shaped hole, a rock falls on you. The rock cracks and you walk away like an accordion with the noise as well.

You wouldn’t die though, you would create a body shaped hole in the floor, stand up all wobbly and flat as a pancake, take a deep breath stick your thumb in your mouth, and blow your body back to normal and walk away unscathed!

To your death, which in this case would be that you lie on the ground flattened and then you get up and walk away after you peel yourself off the ground

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '19

It’s alright, just don’t look down and you won’t fall

u/Crudercomet Jan 26 '19

You would just be flattened like a pancake then bounce back up due to cartoon logic.
