The leprechaun on my kids' cereal box has an uneven skillset.

Without the unicorn bringing colour, there would be no rainbows. Where would that leave Lucky? Without the power of teleportation, that's where!

Teleportation also makes flying unnecessary.

Floating may still be a good idea if he teleports into the air and doesn't want to immediately come crashing down.

He could just continuously teleport himself to his target location to effectively float, but teleportation probably uses more resources than floating, so maybe it's an efficiency thing.

General Mills needs to clarify the exchange rate between Red Balloons and Rainbows. The people demand it

I wonder if teleporting resets momentum.

If not; continuously teleporting back to the same location in the sky, you're just going to keep picking up vertical speed.

When you eventually stop teleporting, all that built up momentum has to go somewhere... Hope you've got some real strong ankles.

I miss Toms videos. Hope he's doing well.

Unicorn, Heart (Captain Planet), and Aquaman probably hang out, during the adventures they're not invited to.

I think the power to float is more of a buoyancy power. Like, he's very hard to drown because he can inflate his special bladder with red balloon power.

Flying requires speed, otherwise you would stall. Please make sure your kids remember this, it is important.

[isaaclyman@lemmy.world]

Vis à vis Archimedes’ Principle, does that imply that leprechauns have a higher average density than human beings? I’m also relatively hard to drown, despite not having any cereal-powered buoyancy. (At least, no more than the average cereal eater.)

[melodiousfunk@slrpnk.net]

That's true for aircraft, yes. But for humanoids, there's an art, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

[massive_bereavement@fedia.io]

That sounds like something out of Discworld.

Close. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

So this leprechaun guy needs all these things to have a great magical life, but you take them all off him and eat all of them for breakfast, leaving him with a depressing colourless, magic-free world?

Are we the baddies?
