Remember when you asked what would happen to the Earth if all 1 billion of the people in China jumped off of a 3 meter high platform at the same time to land on the ground? Now is your chance to find the answer to that burning question.

Everyone who actually jumped would be told to check their privilege to jump next time and quit making the Non-Jumpable Peoples feel bad.

“We do know that 5000 Marines could capsize Guam.”

Congratulations! You are now qualified to run for President and participate in a CBS and Charlie Rose moderated debate.

Is the Black Lives Matter organization Jumpable or Non-Jumpable?

“Are we jumping about the barycenter? :)”

Yes, for a very small part of the suborbit...a veeery smaaaaal part of the suborbit...virtually no suborbit at all.

Wait a moment...are those song lyrics now?

Interesting fact brought out here. The entire population of the earth, standing up, could fit in Los Angeles. Tell that next time you’re confronted by the “sustainability” argument of the Agenda 21 and Global Totalitarian freaks.

I was in an elevator filled with college students long ago. Everybody decided to jump simultaneously.

A few weeks later, the elevator was condemned for having bad cables.

Coincidence?
