Hopefully it's just an Object of Power and not a sentient carpet like from Aladdin.

Imagine if someone came up to you, unraveled your meaty squishy wet insides, and made you into a grotesque form of human flesh suit

This meme is a horror story.

Flying carpets clearly fly because of the runes and symbols knitted into their design. This would not work in real life.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 34 points 6 months ago

Obviously you'd re-knit the arcane runes into the new design

I thought that much was obvious, sheesh

[-] Old_Fat_White_Guy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Noob for sure

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

In that case, would you even need to use the same yarn?

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yes, there are both yarn and rune magicks that need to be combined.

Carpets are woven, not knitted. To preserve the power, fold in half, stitch partway up each side to form batwing sleeves, and cut a careful slit in the center of the fold to poke your head through. Less flexible than a knit sweater but still warm and more likely to fly.

That sweater would be so thick and scratchy.

For best results, use a flying fuzzy bath mat

Sighs... let me tell you about this one guy called Theseus.

Footy pajamas would be even more comfy.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

You'd have to be really small or have a huge giant carpet for there to be enough material for that, though..

[-] Fermion@mander.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

Maybe it's bigger on the inside.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

So we're talking about unraveling a Tardis now? 🤔

[-] Fermion@mander.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

When it comes to magic carpets and flying time machines, I certainly don't know what is and is not possible.

[-] Old_Fat_White_Guy@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

It's all about the fabric of time.

[-] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

be very small

footy pajamas

Flying baby ahoy

Instructions unclear. Got strangulated by magic sweater.

[-] sagrotan@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

You forgot knotting together 1 million small threads before knitting it, but a very cute comic.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Then when it gets too hot you can just fly North
