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.
