Assuming it's multiplicative, you would have to consume 140 ketchup bottles to jump twice as high

If it's over time that's easily doable

[–] jsheradin@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A bottle a day for a year might be stomach-able. You'd be able to jump about 6x a normal person which would easily land you some long-jump Olympic medals.

do it for 2 years to get 38x

[–] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

So, 1400 bottles, and I’m dunking?

brb, making a vat of low-rent Bloody Mary mix.

[–] dlove67@vlemmy.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a size limit on the bottles? Could I get the minibar equivalent of a ketchup bottle?

More importantly, does this stop the negative effect of falling from greater heights?

[–] oscar_falke@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Yes and no.

[–] Monologue@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

so a flat 0.5% bonus if i live my life as usual?

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Including the plastic bottle? If not, I'll start jumping annoyingly high within a few weeks

[–] Tramdan@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It's just the bottle. They didn't say anything about the contents.

A lot more once i can jump higher than anyone on the planet

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does this include the plastic/glass/metal?

[–] hamborgr@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What ketchup are you buying that's in a metal container?

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] milkytoast@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

some fancy ass ketchup to come in a glass bottle

[–] Super_Stone@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Volkswagen sells their ketchup in glass bottles iirc.

[–] swiftcasty@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I would start ordering fries+ketchup a lot more

[–] LeylaaLovee@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Ketchup is one of the only things I know will send me into a full autistic meltdown. It's so fucking gross.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Okay but is it like a video game where you can only jump a set distance? No more no less?

[–] atocci@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Just quickly tap the space bar.

[–] bastian_5@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Just jump at an angle, but also landing might be a problem

[–] BarbecueCowboy@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was in middle school with a guy who ate a tremendous amount of ketchup, I feel like it must have started as a shock value thing, but who knows why other people do things. A bottle a day for him at lunch was not unheard of.

He was not a healthy kid, dude was pretty overweight and had heartburn problems, again this was in middle school. I remember him having to leave school for a bit because of serious stomach problems and then when he came back he was on a super restrictive diet. I think I only ever saw him eating green vegetables and basic salads after that.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

You should've seen that kid's hops, though. He'd already maxed out Jumping, so he didn't need any more ketchup.

Can I spread it out? How many ketchup packets are in a bottle?

[–] Neato@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

What about the landing? If I jump 30' straight up that's probably the last time I'm going to be jumping.
