People don’t know how to use greater-than or less-than symbols
na_th_an@lemmy.world 14 hours 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?
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 13 hours 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

bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
It’s correctly used in the text.
Number of steps < 500 is equivalent to 500 > number of steps.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 5 hours 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 6 hours 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.

500 greater than steps per day
Cyclist@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Yeah so I did the math. 500 is supposed greater than your number of steps per day.
Declamatie@mander.xyz 4 hours ago
That actually makes sense
unmagical@lemmy.ml 16 hours ago
More than, 500 steps a day!? What do you think I am–active?
officermike@lemmy.world 16 hours 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.
f314@lemmy.world 15 hours 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.
theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
No. Steps/day is the unit. They used the symbol incorrectly

they meant less than 500 steps a day
smh
Nikls94@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Who writes it that way???
It’s read out “500 less than steps a day”
Favorite subject of them grammar not was.

MBech@feddit.dk 4 hours ago
500> steps and <500 steps means the exact same thing though.

Takeout every day? Your monthly food bills gotta be over 1k
kinther@lemmy.world 14 hours 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 8 hours 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?
basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 2 hours 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?

CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 16 hours ago
I despise cooking but now do it almost exclusively because I can fart together a better meal than the cold, mushy, expensive, incorrect much of the time takeout.
I gotta decline this challenge over it.

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!?

Furbag@lemmy.world 12 hours 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 6 hours 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’
