Talk:3130: Predicament

Those are some pretty dang tall stilts ... oh yeah, and F1RST P0ST! RadiantRainwing (talk) 20:59, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

There's a not entirely tenuous link with 1660: Captain Speaking, methinks... 92.23.2.228 21:31, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Is unlocking the phone with stilts even possible? Aren't phone touchscreens based on electrical conductivity? What are these stilts made of? 160.39.41.182 21:33, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Ah, I just added a paragraph about that! Great minds think alike/fools never differ...

Probably capacitative (which is what I linked), and indeed I was thinking that wooden/other-structural-material wouldn't get any response unless you put a pad of special material (such as seen on the tips of "iPhone gloves") that emulates the electrical qualities of bare skin. Which is probably not what you usually get, there, even if they're given "little rubber boots/soles" for grip purposes. 92.23.2.228 21:44, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

So... is there a special procedure for getting off stilts? If so, it should be mentioned in the explanation. 2A01:36D:104:47E3:7D15:7369:B5C7:C18D 22:56, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Gravity being what it is, I always found it easier to get down than to stay up. 98.5.115.49 (talk) 23:39, 18 August 2025 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

I think the trick is getting down without hurting yourself. Barmar (talk) 04:59, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

You don’t get down from stilts, you get down from an elephant! 2607:FB90:8B0C:94F1:95A5:B4D0:D3A3:4420 06:54, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

I'm sure you could get down from stilts if you really wanted to. 82.13.184.33 09:48, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

Heh. Nice! ("You don't get down from an elephant, you get down from a duck.") BunsenH (talk) 14:34, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

Why did he make this comic? Is he running out of ideas? Caliban (talk) 15:23, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

Because it was an idea that amused him? Why did he make any of the previous 3129? 82.13.184.33 16:10, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

Obviously because he is currently stuck on stilts and hopes to be able to check this website for ideas on how to get off of them. Tharkon (talk) 18:02, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
