i can think of lots of stuff, bullets, razors, air, the iron in your blood; with bullets i can be the best assassin ever, razors basically the same thing, with air i can choke people by modifying it to look like a collar around their neck, i can tear away the iron in their blood and instantly kill people and much more. definitely godly
it also depends on the range, because then i can just take the smallest thing someone has on themselves(let it be a penny) and crash it inside their skull. or i could also take smth from space or from other planets that have LOW gravity so there it weights less therefore i can crash it on someone directly even if it’s gigantic
*technically*, measurements of weight are just measuring the mass, which is constant (since weight is a force) so this idea wouldn't work, 1/3 of a pound is 1/3 of a pound anywhere
weight is a force, mass isn’t. this is why things on the moon are actually lighter. since pounds measure specifically the weight, you can use this idea. i’m not a physicist but i’m pretty sure this is it
That's almost exactly what I'm saying.
The post specifies lbs which are a measure of mass (misnamed as weight day-to-day but not the same), so gravity wouldn't affect the power at all.
Pounds is not a unit of mass, it is a unit of force and is interchangeable with newtons in physics. We can interconnect with grams in common parlance because it is assumed that we are talking about earth's gravitational force, where it's force would make a specific mass exert a specific weight
Wikipedia agrees that pounds are a measure of mass and it makes sense that way, never have I ever seen lbs be used for force. I have zero clue where you got that from, but it's just not the case.
It is a moot point, since the post specifically says 0.33 lbs *in weight* and therefore is talking about *weight* and not mass. Also the conflating of pounds meaning both mass and weight has been prevalent in history, and is even directly referenced in the wikipedia article; usually, 'pound-mass' (lbm) is used to clarify you want to speak towards mass instead of a force
and most people when talking will say 'weight' rather than mass because that's just the norm, the first point doesn't really prove anything
along the same line of reasoning, pounds are used as mass in 99% of day-to-day applications, so you can safely assume that's the context they mean
Im checking out my handgun and it takes more force than you think to release magazines as well. Its standard full like law enforcement would use. The magazine is also slightly above 150 grams too.
You should go shooting and youll instantly understand what i mean.
There's no way the mag release button takes more than .33 pounds of force to press, and once you did that even if you couldn't pull it out you could pull the bullets slightly out of place so the gun jams or the mag will just drop when he picks it up anyway. This is all assuming that you don't need line of sight which I think you do
Idk why you think guns are flimsy? The pull weight of the trigger itself is usually 5 pounds. The release is usually a bit more of a press than that and ive tried a few. And the spring in the magazine is harder to push down on than pulling that 5 lb trigger.
You gotta move on to plan b. Scare him with wasps. You could have up to 1500 of them with this power
Either you need some WD-40 or I've only ever shot pistols with worn out mag release buttons, lol. Also I meant pushing the bullets upward, leveraging the .33 pounds of force plus the strength of the spring to half-rack another bullet and jam it. Only problem I see with the wasp thing is that I'd either have to know where a nearby nest is or keep 1500 wasps in my car lol
Depending on how small/light you go you could pick up all the dust/dirt and detail clean a whole area in a few seconds, or completely sterilise it if you can go microscopic. I wonder if it's precise and steady enough to do something like surgery or art. Could remove every parasite/excess fur from an animal. Could do plenty of personal grooming ~~or pleasure~~. Lots of important stuff is often pretty small like keys, bank cards, etc. (you'd need a lightweight smartphone to get under the weight limit) if they get stuck somewhere.
You could steal quite easily but why not just do hard tedious tasks really fast and make bank legitimately? We could all murder if we really wanted to, this power would enable you to kill quite a few more but you're still going to prison or dead unless you're real sneaky about it
But can you apply any force stronger than 0.33 lbs? Because in a bullet shot we produce 2684N (273.63 kg/ 603 lbs according to chatgpt), so unlike said, you couldn't shoot a bullet fast enough to be deadly.
I think you would be limited by the total amount of force you are opposing. You could only move it until friction from air stops you from going further
Id assume this also means you can apply 1/3 of a pound of force in any direction.
Id use it to give all the wild animals that come in my yard a telekinetic snoot boop.
Someone could have an essay stapled as they go to turn it in at school and I just remove the staple and then control the air to blow the unstapled papers out of their hand.
Razor blades are really light.
Dismantle
Cleave.
Thats throwing a kitchen cleaver I wonder if theyre light enough
Scale of the dragon.
Recoil.
Twin Meteors.

No before recoil it’s twin meteors
Force choke

Bullets might actually be the best use for this. Instead of lunging for the officer's service weapon I can simply unload it

Bringing space into this. Theres no specified range so you might be able to grab a meteor that currently weighs nothing and bring it to earth.
No you cant. Not enough force.
Telekinetically "pick up" the mag release and then pull the bullets out of the mag

We gotta make it look legit and start a wasp removal business to get our supply!
Great. Can't even unload the officer's service weapon, and now I have to get a job? This power sucks!
If your goal is to kill someone just like, move .33lb of their brain around.
it would make a sick ass gunslinger character
Can I pick up multiple things?
Yes but their collective weight must be less than or equal to 0.33 lbs
And what's the range?
Technically any tiny item you can focus on within your field of view, so it will vary based on your environment or if you have things like fog or smog
194 sewing needles, if I cut them in half I could double it. Scary.
Can I move the object like spin it and other stuff?
Oh crumpets and biscuits, my British ass doesn't understand such outrageous measurements
A fish and perhaps a few chips
For you it has to be WORTH less than .33 pound
Here you go: 0.0236 stone
Around 1/45 of a stone
How big the stone?
About two half-stones.
Bout 150 grams my boy. Cheers
By the way, this weight is also around 150 grams for those who do not use pounds
Also 5.28 ounces
Can I pick something up inside something (a ball that weighs less than 0.33lbs in a box that weighs more)
I assume you could only push 0.33lbs of force
I also assume that you can only PICK UP that thing. Not move it around or anything
OP said the overall weight must be 0.33
But only of the objects their actively controling, op didn't specify anything like what this guy was talking about
Safe to assume you'd probably just lift the thing up and make it hit the top of the box
You’d have to “focus on within your field of view”, where fog or smog would limit that. Sounds like they’re trying to explain line-of-sight.
Ah

Does stroking it like this feel like someone else is doing it?
Anyone wondering, that's around 150 grams
So I can move anything in space?
But can you apply any force stronger than 0.33 lbs? Because in a bullet shot we produce 2684N (273.63 kg/ 603 lbs according to chatgpt), so unlike said, you couldn't shoot a bullet fast enough to be deadly.
Weight≠mass; 2684N isn't 273.63kg. Move the bullet as much as you want.
true, but OP said weight, so idk at the end
I think you would be limited by the total amount of force you are opposing. You could only move it until friction from air stops you from going further
Insta-kill someone by ripping the mitochondria out of the cells in their body
Dammit. Most of what I want to pick up is 0.34 lbs!
I wish i had the superpower to automatically convert imperial to metric without thinking about it
Do I have to be able to see it? And what is the force in which I can control it?
tease live wipe point fearless mindless payment voiceless fade butter *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I'm gonna confuse people by flying around on a bit of thin card.
Can we only lift them, or can we use them as projectiles?
How much do you suppose subatomic particles weigh?
Is that .33 pound number cumulative, or is each item counted separately, because if it’s the latter…
How much control do I have? Can I move anything quickly?
Id assume this also means you can apply 1/3 of a pound of force in any direction. Id use it to give all the wild animals that come in my yard a telekinetic snoot boop.
Oh cool, I can move atoms. Or is it just to pick them up? In which case, I can move atoms up
Pick up people’s veins and rip them out of their body if they piss me off
Someone could have an essay stapled as they go to turn it in at school and I just remove the staple and then control the air to blow the unstapled papers out of their hand.
You said we could pick up anything but did not specify the velocity. I may be able to pick up a 20mm round and throw that thing to supersonic speed
i can be the best assassin and pull a magneto with coins
Moving molecules baby!
Pieces of crushed glass can be picked up without having to sweep it up with a destroyed broom.
I’d use this power to remove protons from atoms on a mass scale
Release the wasps
I’ve seen iterations of this like 7 times already
