It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

No, they are for your ass
Interesting! I want a fall damage reduction boot, just like Portal.
Cyberpunk double jump
Taking bets on when they shut the servers down and brick all the units!
My money is on 3 years tops!
They’ll probably just force you to use an app that gets removed from the app stores when the next breaking OS change hits.
Whoa! It's the wrong trousers, Gromit, and they've gone wrong! Stop them, Gromit, stop them! Help me! G-Gromit! The wrong trousers have gone haywire! Get me out! HE-E-ELP!

Yeah, walk through a puddle and your feet explode...

Soooo heelies with a printer motor?
What if you have really really fat calves but the rest of your body is super thin so you're like a scarecrow except for your notably enormous bulging calves and when you walk by people they're all like: wow that skinny person has enormous fucking calves.
HOW WOULD YOU EVEN WEAR THESE? THIS IS DISCRIMINATION.
Then that huge-calves person needs to see a doctor because edema.
