    People don’t know how to use greater-than or less-than symbols

    source
    • na_th_an@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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?

      source
      • BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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

        That’s if you interpret the string as being part of the equation

        source
    • bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s correctly used in the text.

      Number of steps < 500 is equivalent to 500 > number of steps.

      source
      • Korhaka@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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

        source
    • gerryflap@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

      source
      • Schmoo@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

    500 greater than steps per day

    source
    • Cyclist@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah so I did the math. 500 is supposed greater than your number of steps per day.

      source
      • Declamatie@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        That actually makes sense

      aka steps per day less than 500

    More than, 500 steps a day!? What do you think I am–active?

    source
    • officermike@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      While it did use the greater-than symbol, it was arranged unconventionally. The way it’s written is “500 is greater than steps per day,” meaning don’t walk too much, which fits with the rest of the author’s theme.

      source
      • f314@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        That’s not how that works, though… It is 100 % what they meant, but not at all how you use greater than/less than signs in text.

        No. Steps/day is the unit. They used the symbol incorrectly

      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.

      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.

        Maybe the old sizes, their servings are miniscule now. And the prices went the opposite direction.

    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!?

      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

      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.

      source
  • Furbag@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

    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?
