Apologies if this doesn't fit here, not sure where else to post something like this on lemmy

I think having gravity act like weather might be an interesting concept for a fantasy world, where each country has its own gravity patterns, some tend to be heavier some tend to be lighter, some are all over the place

For a few examples, there could be a desert with gravity so high you can get dragged down into the sand

Could be a country with gravity so low everyone uses personal aircraft that work like bicycles instead of land vehicles

Animals in higher gravity areas would have less dense bones, more muscle, etc and lower gravity would have far larger animals because they can support more weight

In a really high gravity area people might need exoskeletons to prevent long term damage

You read it correctly, that's what I meant. Both different areas with different gravity patterns but also slight variations day to day like the weather with occasional freak occurances

I think reversal would be rare and restricted to very specific areas

Custom gravity beds would be cool. Personally I'd imagine they'd involve being immersed in some kind of ultra buoyant liquid designed not to cause problems with sustained skin contact

Ergonomic chairs, beds etc would be a must too
