Why is it impossible to put your hands under your feet and lift yourself off the ground?

Because you push your hands down as much as you pull your feet up.

>> No.3357142

Because you don't have a force exerting down on the ground and gravity exists.

I love how most people are unable to correctly answer this fucking simple question.

There was a quiz show recently where the panel was shown a picture of the classic trollscience magnet car and told to explain why it wouldn't work. None of them could, they just talked absolute pseudointellectual bullshit, it was awesome.

you can but not for long enough to prevent yourself from hitting the ground face first.
try it

Troll physics really got beat into the ground but I always lol'd at this one.

>>3357177
give us the intellectual 'explanation' then

>> No.3357203

Because of the anthropic principle.

If you could lift yourself off the ground then eventually you'd do it by accident and soar into space and die.

The anthropic principle solves everything.

how is that anything to do with the anthropic principle>?

Because if Newton's third law didn't exist then we wouldn't be around to observe it not existing. Which is why it exists!

the third law doesnt have anything to do with observation. just mutual forces of action and reaction.

Third law's essential for life, God isn't. Bad comparison brah.
