How is this considered interesting enough to upvote by literally anyone. Of course most people have tried that.

Also, tried?! I use the Force to open those little gates in supermarkes all the time.

Oh it's you doing it? My dad lied to me saying it's electronics system. Thanks for your service :)

I carry people up the stairs daily. I lift parking barriers with just a swipe. I successfully pushed a cloud out of the way. I also control the flow of water from a garden hose. My force grip is too strong.

Exactly. At least every time there’s an automatic door.

Nah, there's no such thing as The Force - I used telekinesis.

Me too. It featured heavily in the science fiction pulp novels I read before Star Wars even came out. And now get off my lawn, damn kids!

It's simple. Been doing it for years. I just put my hand out reaching for the item and eventually my wife or daughter hands it to me.

Here's the deal: given enough time, it WILL work! I've tried it! See, what I do is I reach my hand out toward the remote and close my eyes and stay there. Sometimes it comes quickly, other times it takes several minutes. But the remote always winds up in my hand.

Sure, it's because either my wife or one of my kids has intuited what I'm trying to do and they walk it over to me. But, hey, I'm still getting the remote to my hand regardless!

Admit it? There's not a single commenter here who isn't proud of the effort they put in. I feel like I came pretty close to success myself.

My guy I made myself pass out trying to go super saiyan. Of course I've tried using the force

After reading Hitchhiker's Guide, me and my cousin tried to fly by jumping off a (low) wall and forgetting that we were falling.

Listen, I was 4 when Empire came out. Of course I did this.

Yesterday.

It still doesn’t work.

I mean... What if it works? You'd be a fool not to give a shot every now and then.

Ropes, I tell you.

No wonder the Jedi order is all about "no love or pleasure" or whatever or they'd get nothing done at all...

I refuse to believe anyone claiming to have both seen Dragonball anything and not attempted a Kamehameha

I did it today, the remote was too far away, so no harm in trying to see if I've accessed the force.

And tried to bend a spoon by convincing yourself it doesn't exist

Oh I have the worst story about this. I was having this wonderful dream where I had telekinesis and I could do all kinds of awesome stuff. Then my alarm started going off.

I have tried and failed in a dream at least once, because even when dreaming reality intrudes to make me miserable.

I tried to move things using my mind. It was before I saw Star Wars though, but the idea was there.

1

Not the force, but after a long Bioshock session I felt like I should be able to get something from across the room with telekinesis.

1

Tried moving things with my mind, shoot a Kamehameha wave, change the outcome of an event with a ritual or some fake BS, water bend in the shower, flicked a wand (and a bean or two), and attempt to be cooler than I am.

All magic that hasn't worked yet still trying
