admit it

I do it every day, just to check, as I'm not gonna be one of these idiots with the force for years without realizing it.
- May the force be with you.

How do you think I open automatic doors?
- Same with changing the traffic lights.
  
  You use incantations for changing lights "red light green light one, two, three"

I've been trying since I was 9 and I'm still trying with 33.
- You really have to! Spider-Man wasn't born Spider-Man, he became Spider-Man one day. You can't know what/when will trigger your ability to use the force. So constant testing is required.
  Small tangent, that's the excuse I also use every time I'm drinking something and it goes down the wrong tube "Nope, still not Aquaman".

My brother in the force, it's at least once a week.
- I do it every time I walk into the grocery store. AND IT WORKS.
- Every time I notice it's time to turn some lights on. 👋
- It's every time I want the remote.
- Admit it you're doing it right now too

At least once? Almost any time something is just out of reach, I give it a go before moving. It's just plain fun.

At least once? I try all the time, it takes training, what if it just starts working and I just don't try?
- Yeah but I'd expect more stories of telekinesis if it ever worked, so I only try sometimes. Once did the Jedi mind trick hand wave for fun while high, got a laugh but don't think they were swayed to whatever I suggested. Though was mostly hoping for a laugh at the time so got some success.
  
  Maybe that's our problem, no one's done it before so there's still a small part of us that doesn't think it's possible. The solution is simple, start wearing robes and train every day (👁 ͜ʖ👁) like it was literally one of Yoda's first lessons to Luke that he fails because he doesn't believe.... Brb gonna try to lift my car out of that tar pit again, and this time I'm gonna believe so hard

Hell, that’s the least I’ve done.
When I was a kid, me and my friend were obsessed with the movie Tron. Like the makers of that movie, we had no concept of how computers actually work. But we wanted to be inside one! So one night we typed “START: TRON >> ENTER GAME GRID” on the command line of his dad’s PC and the laid our sleeping bags around the PC and went to sleep; hoping we’d wake up inside the computer all dressed in blue…
- Did it work?

Of course. I test myself for spontaneously-developed superpowers all the time, just in case.
I just hope if it's the human torch thing that eventually works, that I'm also fireproof...

No, I tried telekinesis.

Yes, i tried once very recently out of habit because i have been playing Half Life Alyx
- Saaame. Did it in a dream too

I've attempted many times.
I've only succeeded once.
- I do it everyday.
  Sure, the force is kinetic, but that's just details.
- I don't think certain body parts count.

Tried?

Only once? I tried it multiple times during my life just in case I gained the powers later like Anikin.

I also tried to fly on multiple occasions.

Do or do not, there is no try. I have only succeed in do not.

In my dreams but it actually works.

Remote controls. You've all done it.
Similarly, after playing Portal, I was constantly scheming on how to get an object.
"OK, open portal on the ceiling, open portal under remote on the kitchen counter..."
While we're at it, I've been chunking stuff aside like Skywalker chunking his lightsaber and refusing to fight the Emperor. This has been going on for 30+ years.

When Matilda moves things with her mind, is she using the Force? If so, then yes.

Pretty much every day I try to force-choke a colleague too.

I feel called out

I have witnesses of me using the Force to get a strike in bowling.

Bro I grew up watching Matilda and Alex Mack so yeah but also nah

I do it with my force all the time, its so easy.

Every day just in case I unlock a latent ability.

25 ppl tried and failed.

That requires moving my hand, which is way too much effort some times.

Once ever? Once a week maybe!

Yes I have. :)

Only once? 😅

Literally every time I want the remote.

I blame my hemorrhoid on trying this too damn hard.

I actually hadn't... but now I have! The tea cup refused to move though, unfortunate.

Gulity

At least once? I try ever poop to move something on my counter!

I called it TK, but it's the same shit tbh 😅
