    Was with you until no home cooked meals. Takeaways cost more than I spend on food for a week and I can make better food.

    Make it buy a kg of every flavour of sausage at the butchers and eat them all over the month and the challenge works out a lot cheaper and tastier.

      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.

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

    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?

      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.

      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.

        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

      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.

        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.

      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?
