As a kid I used to dream that I could levitate by sort of straining my muscles upward and lifting myself away from the ground. It would be pretty cool to do that IRL.
Funny, I had a similar series of dreams as a kid like that. I just sort of learned to ‘walk upwards’ and levitate.

I used to contemplate jumping in the air, then quickly using my foot to spring upward off of my other leg/foot, and repeating that until I've reached a desired elevation.
Oh, should be no problem for you to leave earth then
Pathetic. I can easily overcome the gravitational pull of all the milky way just with my pinkie.

PHEW I'm done for the day.
Lucky you. I struggle to fight gravity getting out of bed.
Same same, but I want my cuppa so...
Then gravity reminds you who's boss the next time you trip over your own feet
Nope. Gravity goes both ways. Actually it's the curve of space time pushing you toward another mass. And you can only overcome because your mass is puny next to the earth.
I read this in the voice of Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Gravity is the only fundamental force that can bend time tho
Isn't it the other way around? Mass bends spacetime and gravity is the result?
The face of the earth when I lift a finger: :o
Magnetic force is hilariously weak. Go ahead and raise your hand. You literally just over came the magnetic pull of the ENTIRE EARTH.
