C'mon, lets not dictate who's fun based on a shameless attempt to bend D&D rules and physics into a pretzel. You already gave up on physics at the moment you decided a line of people can pass an object instantly. Going from 100% RAW no physics to 100% physics RAW be damned is kind of a smartass move. I honestly doubt people would even be trying this in real games if not for the meme, because how do you even organize a perfect line of peasants in the middle of a combat encounter?

There's a lot of fun things you can do without stretching believability to the breaking point. One of my favorite Pathfinder characters was an aarakocra barbarian that used enhanced carry capacity to wrestle enemies into the air and throw them at each other. No need to selectively reinvent physics to make it work.

It’s my gods given right to bend the rules until they tell me otherwise! How Crawford hasn't errata’d this away with an incredibly simple clarification of “items can’t be transferred between more than 3 people per round of combat” is beyond me. Not to mention the innumerable chances for the DM to say “no” before you gather 6k+ peasants. The line existing presupposes quite a bit.

Oh yeah that is pretty silly. You could make the kingdom's fastest and most people-demanding mail system, but anything more and your DM is just indulging wacky shenanigans. Preservation of momentum and damage by air friction aren't in the book so that's not so much bending RAW as it is quickly switching the PHB for a Physics 101 book and expecting nobody to notice. Bugs Bunny might be impressed but puzzled why you'd bother with those books at that point.
