180lb man vs an entire planet?

I don't think physics is on my side in that equation

[Flying Dice]

Just punch the Earth hard enough to shatter it, then quickly learn how to survive unaided in spehss.

[Sirus]

But I'm not Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, or Mr. T  D:

[MaximumZero]

Quick, give yourself a mohawk, a beard and take your shirt off and scream at the top of your lungs. Then?

Strike the Earth.

[bitesh]

Not me, thanks. I'm not afraid of airplanes or flying, but I have a terrible fear of an unstoppable death, which a skydiving accident would certainly be.

But if you die, you're dead, so why fear it?

[Descan]

Because then I'll be dead.

[Flying Dice]

It's the same with death as it is with life: it isn't the destination that matters, but the path. And in this particular case the path is falling without a parachute from high in the atmosphere, spending the last moments of your life wondering how large your crater will be and how far bits of you will fly.

Did somebody say SPEHSS?

This, in a nutshell. It's not the stop I mind, it's the time it will take to get there.
(leaving aside the other reasons I'm afraid of that stuff, which I won't mention here because it's not happy) :|

Let's inject some hilarity in here:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Just how fast are you going? Imagine standing atop a train going 120 mph, and the train goes through a tunnel but you do not. You hit the wall above the opening at 120 mph. That's how fast you will be going at the end of your fall. Yes, it's discouraging, but proper planning requires that you know the facts. You're used to seeing things fall more slowly. You're used to a jump from a swing or a jungle gym, or a fall from a three-story building on TV action news. Those folks are not going 120 mph. They will not bounce. You will bounce. Your body will be found some distance away from the dent you make in the soil (or crack in the concrete). Make no mistake: you will be motoring.

Also survival tips!

[GlyphGryph]

Right through a cloud. They even let me wear my normal every-day goggles.

[MaximumZero]

So, I'm deafening myself with faux-hard rock. For some reason, it's really helping my mood. ^_^

There's no good way to die, but punching the Earth at terminal velocity is one of the better ones.

So there's gonna be a new vocaloid.

Spoiler: Details (click to show/hide)

This is MAYU, a new “Yandere” Vocaloid being developed by Exit Tunes, if I read right. We have not much besides a little info about her design.

Her hat has a vinyl disk attached.
Her earrings are styled like Bluetooth headsets.
The hair fades from blonde to rainbow.
The buttons on her dress are amplifier buttons/knobs.
The bottom of her dress is a keyboard.
The rabbit she holds has a microphone on its head.
She’s holding an axe.
Her shoes have neon lighting.

She’s holding an axe.

I have no idea what the whole community is gonna do with this but I can safely say I can't wait.

[JoshuaFH]

Ooohh my. Is there any preview as to what her voice sounds like?
