I think the steps are the only challenge. Just going to the bathroom accrudes 1000 steps sometimes

I did that one day. Does it count?
Electricd@lemmybefree.net 7 months ago
Shouldn’t it be 500<?
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It should be <500 or what they said. What they said is mathematically better but grammatically wonky, whereas what you said is 500 is less than steps per day.
Big number > small number < big number

I wasn’t interpreting the text as being part of the equation so I got a different result

melsaskca@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
That doesn’t sound very healthy physically. But mentally? Yes!
Zink@programming.dev 7 months ago
That’s the trick though, especially as you get older. The stuff that sounds like an awesome relaxing reset and will surely be nice at the time, is not always the activity that will actually leave you feeling better afterwards.
A frustrating example is being tired in the middle of the day on a weekend when I wanted to be productive in my hobbies & house work. If I take a nap, will that save me evening or ruin my evening?
There’s a lot of trial and error, since we’re all different.
bier@feddit.nl 7 months ago
Mentally healthy? Since we have 2 kids I rarely sleep 8 hours, 6 is the new norm, and it’s definitely not helping mentally. I still try to get 8K steps daily, doing 500 or less would make me even more miserable.
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
That’s called middle age. You’re on!
basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
Eating expensive. Buying alcohol. Delivery because of the low steps/day.
I’m too broke for this.
Though… Is a drop of alcohol sufficient? Is watching at porn for a second sufficient? Is running an idle game for 5h sufficient? Does cycling, crawling or a wheelchair count for steps?
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
no, that’s how you get around the limit

Was with you until no home cooked meals. Takeaways cost more than I spend on food for a week
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
This makes me think of a really neat business idea… DoorCook! Where your neighbor is your personal cook! You put in an order and a price range and any “neighbors” within the area can bid on the price.
We synergize our business by avoiding all those pesky regulations like food licenses and let your meal come directly from your loving neighbor.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
Yeah but you’ll also be eating sausage for every meal of every day for that entire month.
Nastybutler@lemmy.world 7 months ago
And?

It’s gonna fit right in with the alcohol

- no, I hate when I can’t fly freestyle
- yes
- no, not enough
- ok is easy, I have a dog
- doable
- not on this economy
bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 7 months ago
they meant less than 500 steps a day
smh
Nikls94@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Who writes it that way???
It’s read out “500 less than steps a day”
Favorite subject of them grammar not was.
Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
I think <500 steps a day is meant here.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Yes that’s exactly what they wrote
MBech@feddit.dk 7 months ago
500> steps and <500 steps means the exact same thing though.

Sad to hear you didn’t finish.
Furbag@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The first two seem too loosely defined. Does it count if I just log on to e621.net, select latest/popular and then close the window down? Or do I actually have to watch porn and masturbate to completion? Does daily alcohol count if I drink a Bud Light, or make myself a fancy cocktail? Or do I need to get blackout drunk?
Toughest for me would probably be 5-8 hours of uninterrupted gaming (I don’t have the attention span for it anymore) and running on 5 hours or less of sleep.

Does frozen pizza count as takeout?
answersplease77@lemmy.world 7 months ago
a pizza which you have to put in a microwave or oven?
the 2nd one disqualifies sorry bro. let me tell you now why, if you have to use an oven aka go to your kitchen and use timer on your phone or whatever while you listen to shakira waiting for something to cook because oven cooking is not 5 minutes dont tell me otherwise and oh you have to TAKE OUT a clean dish that is suitable for the oven, and you’d even have to have had kitchen experience in first place to know which dish of your wife’s silverware, who IS NOT around otherwise she wouldn’t let you shove bugers in the oven like it was microwave without even removing the plastic wrappings, and once the fire is set ablaze and you luckly get to extinguish it somehow, your neighbor has called 911 already and is outside ringing your doorbell to tell you there is a fire smoke coming from your windows and asking if you were all safe like the concerned neighbor he is, then by the time firefighters arrive you just go ‘Oh… fire…because of the brugers… the plastice?.. i thought it was the oven’s bad then the fire started…omg’

500 greater than steps per day

If you can’t get any better, the only way to go up the leaderboard is to incapacitate your opponents.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
aka steps per day less than 500
I don’t get why people have a problem with this
Cyclist@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yeah so I did the math. 500 is supposed greater than your number of steps per day.
Declamatie@mander.xyz 7 months ago

theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Nope, it’s wrong lol
bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
It’s correctly used in the text.
Number of steps < 500 is equivalent to 500 > number of steps.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
I was thinking that. Seems to work to me, the wide end is the bigger number and 500 is more than your steps per day
gerryflap@feddit.nl 7 months ago
It’s a bit weird, but imo not wrong. 500 > steps/day or steps/day < 500 is the same. As long as the big end of the < or > is at the 500 it makes sense. It only doesn’t make sense if you literally read 500 > steps/day as “five hundred greater than steps a day” instead of parsing it as math.
Schmoo@slrpnk.net 7 months ago
Only reason it’s so jarring is the context has people parsing the whole list as language and they weren’t expecting to have to abruptly parse a mathematical expression.
selokichtli@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
They where busy… walking?
na_th_an@lemmy.world 7 months ago
If you read it aloud it doesn’t sound right, but from a mathematical perspective it’s saying the number of steps per day should be less than 500, which I think is the intention of the writer, no?
Electricd@lemmybefree.net 7 months ago
That’s if you interpret the string as being part of the equation
violetsoftness@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 months ago

Yes that’s the intention but they got the order wrong, it would make more sense if it was written as number of steps < 500

Takeout every day? Your monthly food bills gotta be over 1k
kinther@lemmy.world 7 months ago
One Chipotle bowl could be two of my meals, just to be fair. That’s $12 there. Add a cheeseburger or nuggets on a cheap menu and we are talking about $20 per day. 20 * 30 = $600, so still a lot.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Maybe the old sizes, their servings are miniscule now. And the prices went the opposite direction.

Does my $1.50 Costco hot dog and drink count as takeout?
hopesdead@startrek.website 7 months ago
Well I failed. No daily alcohol, rarely play games and my step count is clearly higher.
Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Hmm…
- Daily porn actually gets boring. Porn will start to become “normal” and so you’ll get desensitised. Why would I want to desensitise myself from porn?
- No thank you. I like the occasional cocktail, but alcohol every day!? Ew no.
- I already do this. :)
- I get 8 hours sleep minimum. Can’t get less. I’ll die.
- My job involves biking… That’s technically not taking steps.
- I already don’t do this.
- That’s too bloody expensive! You think I have a tree that grows money!?
