I carry people up the stairs daily. I lift parking barriers with just a swipe. I successfully pushed a cloud out of the way. I also control the flow of water from a garden hose. My force grip is too strong.
Here's the deal: given enough time, it WILL work! I've tried it! See, what I do is I reach my hand out toward the remote and close my eyes and stay there. Sometimes it comes quickly, other times it takes several minutes. But the remote always winds up in my hand.
Sure, it's because either my wife or one of my kids has intuited what I'm trying to do and they walk it over to me. But, hey, I'm still getting the remote to my hand regardless!
Oh I have the worst story about this. I was having this wonderful dream where I had telekinesis and I could do all kinds of awesome stuff. Then my alarm started going off.
Tried moving things with my mind, shoot a Kamehameha wave, change the outcome of an event with a ritual or some fake BS, water bend in the shower, flicked a wand (and a bean or two), and attempt to be cooler than I am.

Also, tried?! I use the Force to open those little gates in supermarkes all the time.

Oh it's you doing it? My dad lied to me saying it's electronics system. Thanks for your service :)

Stand on one hand and lift rocks with your special gift

Exactly. At least every time there’s an automatic door.

They're called forcefields, did they teach you nothing?

I want to upvote this multiple times
WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today · 23 pts · 80d
Nah, there's no such thing as The Force - I used telekinesis.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 80d
Me too. It featured heavily in the science fiction pulp novels I read before Star Wars even came out. And now get off my lawn, damn kids!

LPT: If you focus your channeling into a chant - it can happen even faster

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 80d
how the fuck y'all moving objects without applying force to them?
WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 79d
It's simple. Been doing it for years. I just put my hand out reaching for the item and eventually my wife or daughter hands it to me.
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 79d
My guy I made myself pass out trying to go super saiyan. Of course I've tried using the force
Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 79d
Gotta try harder like the GOAT
bampop@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 79d
Admit it? There's not a single commenter here who isn't proud of the effort they put in. I feel like I came pretty close to success myself.
Quokka@quokk.au · 7 pts · 80d
I also tried using Matilda powers.
Zizzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 79d
Yeah, me too
JoeTheSane@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 79d
Listen, I was 4 when Empire came out. Of course I did this.
Yesterday.
It still doesn’t work.
Sergio@piefed.social · 7 pts · 80d
After reading Hitchhiker's Guide, me and my cousin tried to fly by jumping off a (low) wall and forgetting that we were falling.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 79d
if you run fast enough horizontally you will fall but miss the ground.
Zarobi@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 80d
That's not flying. That's falling, with style!

Bitch, I tried to make a ball of chi after seeing Gohan teach Videl how to do it
cmbabul@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 79d
I refuse to believe anyone claiming to have both seen Dragonball anything and not attempted a Kamehameha
lightnsfw@reddthat.com · 5 pts · 79d
I mean... What if it works? You'd be a fool not to give a shot every now and then.
lugal@sopuli.xyz · 5 pts · 79d
And tried to bend a spoon by convincing yourself it doesn't exist
TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 79d
Use the force, shoot webs, use telekinesis, launch a kamehameha...
BucketBong@p.hobo.social · 5 pts · 80d
I did it today, the remote was too far away, so no harm in trying to see if I've accessed the force.
SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 80d
Did it work??
BucketBong@p.hobo.social · 3 pts · 80d
Nah, but I did pass out, so that might be something.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 5 pts · 79d
You must be able to use the force for a prostate massage right?
psycotica0@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 79d
Ropes, I tell you.
No wonder the Jedi order is all about "no love or pleasure" or whatever or they'd get nothing done at all...

wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 79d
Duhh, of course. I was quite persistent, actually...
Etterra@discuss.online · 3 pts · 79d
I have tried and failed in a dream at least once, because even when dreaming reality intrudes to make me miserable.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 80d
I’ve found I can only do it to automatic doors.
arschflugkoerper@feddit.org · 3 pts · 79d
This and earth/water/fire/air bending obviously
Eternal192@anarchist.nexus · 3 pts · 79d
I keep trying and hoping eventually something will move.
username_1@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 80d
We just didn't want to disappoint D.Wader with our lack of faith.
faintwhenfree@lemmus.org · 2 pts · 79d
Yeah, but I didn't think it was force, just garden variety telekinesis.
sidebro@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 79d
Double sliding doors are fun
The remote is too far
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 79d
not only have I tried, I succeeded!
specifiedhalibut@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 77d
Why not? I've seen that in movies
Linktank@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 77d
How is this considered interesting enough to upvote by literally anyone. Of course most people have tried that.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 79d
Automatic doors and traffic lights.

Tried moving things with my mind, shoot a Kamehameha wave, change the outcome of an event with a ritual or some fake BS, water bend in the shower, flicked a wand (and a bean or two), and attempt to be cooler than I am.
All magic that hasn't worked yet still trying
melsaskca@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 80d
I tried to move things using my mind. It was before I saw Star Wars though, but the idea was there.
YoiksAndAway@piefed.zip · 1 pts · 80d
Not the force, but after a long Bioshock session I felt like I should be able to get something from across the room with telekinesis.
