How fast and high can I fly? Also am I effected by the pressure and temperature I'd come in contact with by flying at that height and speed?

Money. Would attract too much unwanted attention flying.
---

Fly if I could be invisible while doing it. Otherwise the attention it brings isn't worth it so 10 mil for me.

Eh, I would say a couple hundred mph and as high as you can go and still breathe and stand the cold and stuff. Yes, pressure temperature and wind still apply. Going faster is more tiring, etc.

Yeah no invisibility.

Well darn, if I can't fly with money, no airplanes ever again.
But that's rest of your life cash right there...
Idk!

flight.

i've always liked the idea of going anywhere i want, whenever i want, and with a bird's eye view

does my fitness affect how fast and how far I can fly?

Only via aerodynamics.

Flying can be a great way to get yourself killed

Do I have perfect control in the air? Like Superman? or am I like Hawkman and have to keep gliding and hovering is hard.

The government would capture and dissect you.

I mean, you have to consider your body's tolerance for acceleration and it does use energy but you could probably go I'll say an hour before needing a break.

You can if you get free airfare.

Alternatively, you can drive or take a boat, really any vehicle that stays on the surface of the planet. Or goes under, I guess.

Hit stray debris or a bird

I guess you could build armor if you want.

So I can't use helicopters/planes and the like unless its free if I take the money?
---

Yeah you only get flight ability. You wouldnt be able to go very fast without the durability of super heroes like superman. And military planes can go over 2000mph. With todays tech, they can shoot you down with ease.

Or, they could just kick down your door and capture you while your sleeping.

You definitely wont end up being a hero. You'll be caged up like a chimp in a lab.

Take some of you blood before breakfast, lunch and dinner. Take some of your bone marrow. A piece of your liver. You brain tissue. Inject some shit into you and see how you react.

Then completely dissect you when you finally die.

You can't if you take the power either either, but in that case I doubt it'll matter that often.

I'll just take the money. Feel like the military will shoot me down if I'm seen flying.

This is impossible, so flying

Sure you can. UberAir.

So what about this money?

If $10 million is deposited into my account from any source, the bank is going to have to report that and I'm going to have to explain where the hell I got it.

"Uh, some guy on Gamefaqs offered me $10 million or the ability to fly and I took the money" is going to draw a lot of attention from the feds. "So, somebody out there has the ability to grant flying power? Who? We will need to find this person and dissect them in a lab."

Let me worry about that.
---

Oh God, this is such a hard choice to make.
On one hand, it's flying.. On the other hand, it's 10 millions.
Choice would be so much easier if it were a lesser ammount, but 10 millions is quite a lot of money, especially considering I couldn't use my flight powers to make money out of it.

Guess I'll go for the money, I never take the plane anyway, and rather stop working right now and have a leasury life than having to fly to work instead of driving there, but still having to work for the rest of my life.

I don't really understand the parameters around "you can't make money by flying".

So if I enrolled in college and flew to school every day, I wouldn't be able to get a job in whatever I majored in because I used my flying ability as transportation to obtain the degree required?

Does that mean I can't fly to work?

What if flying gives me so much happiness that it inspires me to write a #1 hit song? Can't earn any money off that?

What if I used my flying ability to get pussy, and then because I got so much pussy that I started working harder at my job. Will I be ineligible for a promotion?

Probably just that you can't charge people to transport them, or deliver packages using your flight abilities.
"You can't make money out of the power" is pretty much on par for the course in these topics, you either get money, or a power you can't make money out of.
---

power. the money is nice but the ability would be one of a kind that i'll just need to conceal using from the public eye. and i go on trips that require a plane often enough to where having to explain why i cant buy tickets to board planes would be annoying.
---

As cool as flying would be, the realistic ramifications would be too off-putting for my taste.

Good point. Regardless of what you choose, you can make lots and lots of money by trying to poke holes in conditions that are really pretty clear.

Easily 10 mil. Why would I need to fly when I barely leave my home as it is? Lol.

DevsBro posted...

Eh, I would say a couple hundred mph and as high as you can go and still breathe and stand the cold and stuff. Yes, pressure temperature and wind still apply. Going faster is more tiring, etc.

Then money.

Can I still get plane tickets if my credit card gives me airline points when I make everyday purchases?

You know what? Sure.

I was gonna type up a complicated thing about how you can't buy stuff you don't want/need in order to earn those points and some nonsense about how the power knows the difference somehow and won't let you do it

But then again the amount of crap you would have to buy to do this is so insane not even $10M would get you far lol.

Money, easily.

Too many biological things I need to worry about, plus the uncertainty of the air (birds attacking me? Accidentally being shot at?). Then there's the whole media exposure and other problems it brings.

Money for me.
---

If I take the money I can't travel since I can't fly anywhere?
