Completed it
I wouldn’t last 24 hours.
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.
That’s what makes it a challenge
People don’t know how to use greater-than or less-than symbols
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?
Yes that’s the intention but they got the order wrong, it would make more sense if it was written as ateps/day < 500
It’s so wrong it underflowed into somehow being right again.
Unusual? Sure. Mathematically? Right.
x>5 <=> 5>x 🤓

It’s correctly used in the text.
Number of steps < 500 is equivalent to 500 > number of steps.
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
such as yourself you mean?
Nope, it’s wrong lol
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.
They where busy… walking?
That’s called middle age. You’re on!
That doesn’t sound very healthy physically. But mentally? Yes!
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.
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.
Challenge? Bro this is just life
I do believe that is the joke.
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?
no, that’s how you get around the limit
500 greater than steps per day
aka steps per day less than 500
I don’t get why people have a problem with this
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.
Yeah so I did the math. 500 is supposed greater than your number of steps per day.
That actually makes sense
Just August? If I was organized enough to have a daily planner this is pretty much every page.
You can workout every day and still do all the other things. Good luck keeping a relationship though hah
I don’t think I can go back to my 20s.
Lol Brokie
/s
Already 5.5/7. Woohoo And i am female… Doos that makes me male?
'Fraid so. Check your mailbox for the hardhat and a return label for the seatbelt cutter.
Funny, but I had a seatbelt cutter long before I realized I was a woman.
Wait a minute…
Seatbelt cutters kind of have a sixth sense about who they’re supposed to be with and will seek out those in need.
No it just means you dobt get points. Think this is a treehouse situation.
Its fine. The girls only version can have drugs.
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.
Yes, you officially lost he iron.
Sedentary September sounds better
I’ve already started in Jerk-off July
Sad to hear you didn’t finish.
This is already my life, just more gaming
More than, 500 steps a day!? What do you think I am–active?
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.
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.
You do…?
Let n be the number of steps
500 > n >= 0
For exampleSure, I might have worded myself a bit clumsily. I meant using them in a conversational way. They’re trying to say “less than 500 steps,” which is very different from “500 is larger than steps per day” in tone.
My point was just that in normal speech and writing you would say “less than 500”, which would be written “< 500” if you insisted on using the mathematical sign.
No. Steps/day is the unit. They used the symbol incorrectly
