I was about to be offended and then I remembered how I got out of breath walking up the stairs this morning. (To be fair, I’m anemic af and almost certainly have a touch of long covid, but still.)
There’s just something about stairs that gets me. I can run a sub hour 10k, hike 15+ miles a day, and my resting heart rate is in the 50s, but stairs always get me winded.
This just solved it for me. That is exactly it. I’ve been angry at stairs my whole life and now I realize it’s because I go up them as fast as I walk- which is considerably faster than most people I know.
Yes. Burgerlanders are very averse to any level of self improvement that might be difficult. I blame the car culture propaganda more than I blame the people though.
If people had wings and could fly it would be considered exercise and nobody would do it.
If you look at birds like the kakapo, they would’ve had flight in the evolutionary past, but evolved out of it due to lack of predatory threat.
This can be part of Island syndrome, where the dodo also suffered from, till sailors came around and found out they were tasty.
Americans wouldn’t do it, the rest of the world would
Why would I fly for twenty minutes when I can drive for an hour 🙄

My french teacher in high school said that everyone gets winded going up stairs, cause people who are fitter walk up the steps faster

I’m tall and fairly light. Skipping steps helps a lot with efficiency.
Please stop bad-mouthing Americans, it’s just self loathing at this point. It cannot be that black and white.
dont mention black and white around americans… one of those might shoot the other.
As an American, it’s that black and white
In America it’s a lot of white, black typically winds up on skid row or at the morgue.
