if you ever feel useless just remember that Fifa has a subcommittee on human rights and social responsibility.

It's to make sure there aren't any white people working in the sweat shops.

Might be a damage control group tho

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 2 months ago

that would make it even funnier

When I was 6, I dreamed that Superman was showing me his new car. And in the dream, as a six year old, I was thinking, “Why do you need a car?”

Writer Cary Bates says that the Supermobile was created as a promotional tie-in for the Corgi Toys toy line: "In my opinion, whenever merchandising needs are dictating story content, the odds of any real creativity or inspiration are severely compromised".

Yah, we could tell...

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

In the '80s that was reversed. Most of the cartoons were created to sell toys

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You mean the teenage mutant ninja turtles, trained to operate in the shadows, didn't really need a blimp??

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 months ago

About as much much as Rainbow Brited needed a horse

Or Liono needed a sword

Or the Silverhawks needed existence

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Two things.

1: People hardly ever look up

2: They had access to the water mains, and probably spiked the city water with LSD before they took the blimp out.

They don't let him in the drive thru unless he has a vehicle.

[–] N00b22@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So that why Sonic has a car as well?

[–] mcqtom@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm not sure what Sonic's deal is. I'm pretty sure he can't afford the drive thru.

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

He can once he pawns off a pocket full of gold rings he "found on the ground..."

Are you the Flash? Cause you beat me to posting this joke.

[–] dabaldeagul 5 points 2 months ago

I went through the McDonald's drive-through on foot once

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago (3 children)

AFAIK flash does actually need to consume calories and all that, so maybe it's better than running literally everywhere.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This was a plot point in the recent Flash movie.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

And the show, many years before

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Most media just has superheroes consume regular calories for their body size it seems. Where does all this extra energy come from? Guess Flash has the speed force, Hulk the gamma radiation, and Superman the star power. Only two I remember someone eating extra calories is Pecorine from Princess Connect and that one girl who can create anything from My Hero Academia.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Flash just does mukbang offscreen.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

No, I specifically remember the flash drinking his coffee with double digit number of sugars in the Justice League cartoons.

[–] Kitathalla@lemy.lol 6 points 2 months ago

And I seem to recall a few times where one of the various flash-like characters ate a huge amount of food without thinking about it. Wally ate a 3-5 gallon tub of ice cream that had been meant for someone's birthday, if I recall.

Also allows him to carry additional people and items, and store the items. However, might be better to have an SUV or similar for greater and more secure storage.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Now I need a comic where a Flash uses the speed force to carry the entire Justice League Watchtower into another dimension and it just follows the characters who now have to live with the fact that they failed in their original universe. Green Lantern retires because the hope is gone, Aquaman works out a schedule with the new universe Aquaman so they can split the responsibilities of head of Atlantis and superhero work, etc.

[–] gerbler@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Hmmmmm ackchually a green lantern's powers are based on willpower. Blue lanterns are powered by hope 🤓

He uses it Flintstones style

[–] ImWaitingForRetcons@lemm.ee 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don’t think it’s a waste - we know he can bring things with him when uses the Speed Force (his clothes), so being able to travel without needing to run and use up stamina isn’t the worst decision.

[–] HoodieGyaru@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Can he bring his bike using the Speed Force as well?

[–] whome@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Is the flash able to turn off his mental speed as well? Or is he living in this frozen hell?

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Could he learn to vibrate his genitals so fast, that they become a blur? That way he could walk around butt naked but no one would be able to see anything except a blur down there.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The webcomic something positive did a strip where he figured out how to decapitate with ejaculate

[–] Iapar@feddit.org 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

All you people never heard of laziness?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 2 months ago

Bro just let the dude's feet rest, laziness ain't got anything to do with it.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

You’ve gotta think sometimes he feeling lazy. Or is going somewhere he doesn’t want to show up at all sweaty.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean you are faster on a bicycle than walking, so if it uses him as a power source, then he could probably go faster with it than the he can run.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A bike yes, but a motorcycle has its own power source

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Do we know this comic book motorcycle isn't powered by the Speedforce?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

It's so he can slow down enough to ride with his super friends.

[–] BigTurkeyLove@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

A super bicycle would actually make a lot of sense. A (super) Human powdered plane would also be pretty cool.

Dude can already run on water, and jump just about any distance, what does he need the plane for?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Those steel beams aren't going to melt themselves

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean, would you want to run everywhere just because you can?

I guess this is for when her just wants to cruise real slow.
