I do believe that is the joke.

500 greater than steps per day
Cyclist@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Yeah so I did the math. 500 is supposed greater than your number of steps per day.
Declamatie@mander.xyz 5 weeks ago
That actually makes sense
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
aka steps per day less than 500
I don’t get why people have a problem with this
psoul@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
It’s to give your heart a reason to have a heart attack.
If you can’t get any better, the only way to go up the leaderboard is to incapacitate your opponents.
unmagical@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
More than, 500 steps a day!? What do you think I am–active?
officermike@lemmy.world 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks ago
No. Steps/day is the unit. They used the symbol incorrectly
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
Was with you until no home cooked meals. Takeaways cost more than I spend on food for a week
Laser@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
That’s what makes it a challenge
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
Yeah but you’ll also be eating sausage for every meal of every day for that entire month.
MashedTech@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
It’s gonna fit right in with the alcohol
Nastybutler@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
And?
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks 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.
Alenalda@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Takeout every day? Your monthly food bills gotta be over 1k
kinther@lemmy.world 5 weeks 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 5 weeks ago
Maybe the old sizes, their servings are miniscule now. And the prices went the opposite direction.
bizzle@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Sometimes I’ll get two chipotle bowls if I’m feeling especially peckish
etchinghillside@reddthat.com 5 weeks ago
We’re probably talking about dollar menus, gas station food and Cicis pizza buffet.
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
Cicis pizza buffet.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 weeks ago
Does my $1.50 Costco hot dog and drink count as takeout?
Nounka@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Already 5.5/7. Woohoo
Aqarius@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
'Fraid so. Check your mailbox for the hardhat and a return label for the seatbelt cutter.
ViaGetty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
Funny, but I had a seatbelt cutter long before I realized I was a woman.
Wait a minute…
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
No it just means you dobt get points. Think this is a treehouse situation.
Its fine. The girls only version can have drugs.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
i’m sorry you weren’t assigned your appropriate doodle at birth. But! You can make a handy one out of gak, some condoms, some rubber bands, and some nylons. I hear.
basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks ago
Yes, you officially lost he iron.

Finally a realistic challenge.
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Just August? If I was organized enough to have a daily planner this is pretty much every page.
PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
You can workout every day and still do all the other things. Source: me.
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 5 weeks ago
But my home cooked meals slap!
CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks 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.
Tattorack@lemmy.world 5 weeks 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!?

I feel attacked
Frozengyro@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I feel successful
Electricd@lemmybefree.net 5 weeks ago
Shouldn’t it be 500<?
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 weeks 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
Electricd@lemmybefree.net 5 weeks ago
I wasn’t interpreting the text as being part of the equation so I got a different result
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
That’s called middle age. You’re on!
Nikls94@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
- no, I prefer the sex
- 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 5 weeks ago
they meant less than 500 steps a day
smh
Nikls94@lemmy.world 5 weeks 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 5 weeks ago
I think <500 steps a day is meant here.
MBech@feddit.dk 5 weeks ago
500> steps and <500 steps means the exact same thing though.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
Yes that’s exactly what they wrote
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
That doesn’t sound very healthy physically. But mentally? Yes!
bier@feddit.nl 5 weeks 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.
Furbag@lemmy.world 5 weeks 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.
cmeu@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I’ve been training for this my whole life
thingAmaBob@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I wouldn’t last 24 hours.
basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks 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?
MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
This is already my life, just more gaming
Toneswirly@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Does frozen pizza count as takeout?
ICastFist@programming.dev 5 weeks ago
If I get paid, fuck yeah I’m on it!
hopesdead@startrek.website 5 weeks ago
Well I failed. No daily alcohol, rarely play games and my step count is clearly higher.
theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
People don’t know how to use greater-than or less-than symbols
na_th_an@lemmy.world 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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
xavier666@lemmy.umucat.day 5 weeks ago

500 greater then steps per day
Electricd@lemmybefree.net 5 weeks ago
That’s if you interpret the string as being part of the equation
bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
It’s correctly used in the text.
Number of steps < 500 is equivalent to 500 > number of steps.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks ago
They where busy… walking?
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
such as yourself you mean?
theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Nope, it’s wrong lol
