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
Ooof yeah natural disasters could be way worse.
There could be entirely gravity based natural disasters too, imagine a gravity quake where gravity rapidly changes between high and low and the havoc that could wreak on structures and people’s bodies
Imagine a rare event like asteroid impact rare where a gravity inversion happens over water. A massive volume of water could rise up, arc over, drop onto a densely populated area. Imagine a small ocean falling from the sky onto a city.
In areas where that could happen they may need to build waterproof bunkers/homes
