2x weight is not something disastrous. It's 2g force. You probably expirienced something near that many times at passenger plane take-off. For few minutes only each time, but it is more than enough to reveal any problems if any. Hardly anybody will even describe this as "unpleasant".
Humans and animals will adapt, only some structures for obvious reasons will have problems as mentioned earlier by 867glow5309reggin.
Also, many people who don't care about themselves have more than 2x normal human weight and don't look suffering from their weight specifically, putting apart health problems, some even claim they are "healthy" and "normal".
a whole bunch of structures would collapse, especially bridges in the U.S.
probably alot of tall buildings would collapse as the lowest structural elements weren't designed to support twice their rating. iirc, 10-15% is the typical load/stress margin.
again, it's another SHTF scenario where those with the greatest capacity to organize and skillsets geared to building/maintaining basic technology would win out.
however, those demographics with the highest BMI and level of heart disease/coronary issues would see higher deaths and injury than non-fatass demographics. i kneel before our new southeast asian overlords
women will have a rougher time than men, as women generally have less muscle mass relative to body weight than men. there's also a couple decades of data due to integrating women into combat roles. from what i understand of military performance reports, women have lower bone density and female muscle doesn't perform at the same level as male muscle.
those who can survive the first 2-8 weeks of being twice their normal weight will acclimate. it will never be pleasant, but the daytime weight gain won't be totally debillitating either.
the neck-brace industry is going to be a boom market.
also, 100million points to OP for eliminating mosquitoes. ...though, bats might like to have a word.
You mean gravity wave. Gravitational waves are not gravity waves (which are still only theoretical). If you believe LIGO, we are already being bombarded with them (gravitational waves) on a regular basis and they are damn near undetectable. Just a semantic nitpick.
What do you do to overcome the 2x weight being put on the body every day?
Normally, people kind of "waddle". Worst case, they lay down horizontally and stay that way (often forever).
I think the others have done a pretty good job of answering this one already.
Whats funny when I was writing out this war game THIS had me for like 15 minutes.
Lol.
TBH I chose gravitational wave because it was a bigger word and I wanted to sound cool amongst all the cool kids here.
That's why einstein, or more likely someone studying the equations he claimed were his, called it that in the first place - and to make it distinct from gravity waves, which remain purely speculative.
I will take note of this in the future, should I pursue a career in sci-fi writing.
Lol, yes - though most of the sci-fi addicted fanboys also don't know the difference between them - so, go with your gut! I personally think this is by design/intention, as LIGO was massively (i.e. very expensively) advertised as "discovery of gravity waves" so the common folk would make this false conflation.

That was project "fastfood"
I'd make sure I'm balls deep in your mom when the sun was coming up.
I'd have more turrets but I need more vespian gas.
