- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Land in the river and you won't take fall damage
Except water becomes incredibly hard if being hit with too much speed. If there's vegetation next to it and you're at (or close to) terminal velocity you might want to land there instead. There are confirmed cases of people surviving a fall into vegetation after their parachutes didn't open.
Someone never played a video game.
Naah, was just early in the morning and I didn't caught the joke.
You won't fool anyone mate, I know it for A FACT that you don't take damage if you fall in water from ANY height! I've done it countless times in Minecraft!
Even non-cartoony, somewhat serious games do it.
Horizon Zero Dawn does it. Even has a few spots where you're supposed to jump semi-blindly into dark pits because you can vaguely see a body of water deep down.
Even ignoring the fact that anyone but a olympic-level diver would just crash against the surface and die horribly, has Aloy considered that for all she knows it could be a 10cm deep puddle?
I just watched the new Jurassic Park movie yesterday and a guy falls 500 feet into a shallow river and is completely unhurt so now I don't know who to believe
Believe your eyes not what some dumbass online says
How are they supposed to do that, push someone out of an airplane "for scientific purposes" to see what happens?
Even better: if there is an ant nest nearby, you should land there
Why the hell are you down voted? It's true.
Because responding seriously to a comment that is obviously tongue in cheek is annoying.
Thanks for explaining - seriously.
As a neurologic divergent I literally do not see it that way. So I would now criticize the tolerance of neurotypicals and get me downvoted. 😁
