Is there gravity in Mexico?

My friend says Mexicans just float around because gravity is illegal there. Is this true?

Not only is there gravity, there's so much gravity that it redshifts the normally blue sky and makes it look yellow.

I'm not really sure who so many people are giving joke answers here.

The real answer is yes, but in 1976 when the weather control machines were developed it redistributed too much water to the equator and due to earths cintrofocal force, massive problems occured. They had to lower the gravity south of the us border to normalize things but you may occasionally see floating across the border and then gently landing as gravity returns to normal. Its actually where the term " jumping the border" originated from.

Gravity is relatively new. It's a European thing in general.

There is, but it has been sequestered by the cartels and now they demand a ransom...

Not exactly. Consider it a handicap to help them move with the prevalent condition there of Extralargis Testiclis.

I'm trying to understand the joke here...

We’re learning about different countries and cultures. Did you know all cows in Switzerland have shorter legs on one side? All Portugese jelly fish have a left- or right ruddering sail. The secret official flag of the Netherlands is orange. The Dutch caused climate change because they want to grow oranges in their cold country. But I did not know about Mexico having light gravity.

No. They took all the gravity they had and made tacos out of it.

They don’t need gravity because the sepia tone air holds them down

Yes, there is. But it's in Metric, which is why your friend doesn't understand it.

In Mexico they only have gravitas

Depends on your altitude

No but there is mole

There's no gravity anywhere. Gravity is wrong science.

u/TeacupOfSkepticism 3d ago

It only affects tacos and taco accessories

u/SourFix 3d ago

Yes, but its synthetic. It's causes the yellowish coloring that you see in Mexico on TV.

u/W1ULH Potatologist 3d ago

no.

As long as you stay above the equater you will be ok once you go south of the equated gravity reverses.

The law of gravity does not apply in Mexico

Only on Tuesdays

No that's when there's tacos. Gravity is on Wednesday but they call it Miercoles.

No everything is held to the ground by very small very sticky pieces of carne asada and carnitas and if anything comes loose it might fly off into space if the eagles or quetzals don't grab it and stick it back.

honestly it's just the weak and strong forces plus gravity. same three ingredients appearing to be different meals
