        Depending on the length of the workout a more realistic number would be 30 to 90 W, 100 if you really push yourself for a short bout.

        Still, anything is better than nothing.

          yeah, 20 squats are like, what? 2 minutes max? that’s 3 Wh at 100 W power, or 0.003 kWh.

          if you get $0.10 per kWh, that’s $0.0003 per passenger, that’s not enough to pay for a bus ticket.

            1. Why are we talking about squats?

            2. Why is 2min somehow equivalent to 3?

            3. We’re comparing no power generated to any power generated, ignoring the equipment cost thats infinite gain.

              You have to subtract the cost for the power generation station from that, then it’s negative profit margin.

    Something like this appeared near the Miramax offices in LA, where if you showed it your bare feet it gave you a milkshake. It remains a mystery who put it there.

    One of the biggest strains on a government is the health of its citizens. Decreasing obesity and other risk factors through physical activity will save them quite a bit more than a bus fare.

    Back in 2006/7 I worked at the agency on record for a lot of huge brands and we had just gotten Pepsi. So the CD asked my department (interactive) if we could come up with something unique before we had the big kickoff with their staff. I don’t know which one of us came up with the idea but a we decided to make a soda machine that would give you a free Pepsi if you hugged it. Got a machine and went to work engineering it, installing a screen so it can display graphics and a message. They loved it. We ended up redesigning a machine from scratch that could sense hugs or just a smile and made a commercial from it. That was back when designers were given fun tasks to be as creative as possible.

    I wonder whether it checks that you’re going to parallel at least or no reps you 😂

    Doing their bit to preserve Slavic traditions.

    (Yes, I know Romania is not Slavic, though they share the region’s squatting-in-tracksuits culture to an extent.)

      This is where I come in. I genuinely believe no one can be physically attracted to me. I can use the machine and the pervert can rethink his life as he sees a butt crack out of my stained jogging pants. It also sounds like I’m farting, I’m not though. My shoes makes a weird sound on the tongue. I can’t figure out why.

    She’s not a machine. She’s a woman, a human being. Do not objectify her.


    Edit: Oh, wait… Now I see it.
    The box she’s facing is a machine.

      So curious about the downvotes. Please keep your vote how you did, but it would be interesting to know if it’s primarily one of these reasons below, or is it something else?

      A. The downvotes express that my comment is just not funny, but the voter completely understands what I was going for B. The downvotes express not liking being told not to objectify women C. The downvotes express not liking me objectifying this woman D. The downvotes are based on a misunderstanding of what I was going for

        I think you got a minority of downvotes to start, then others piled in. There are plenty of similar jokes in the thread that didn’t get that treatment. Also, people on the internet are generally pretty bad at reading and the venn diagram has a lot of overlap with people looking for an excuse to be offended.

          Yeah, I think it’s actually funnier that it got downvoted. But damn I’m curious how it all went down for everyone.

      Wait until you find out where she prints the tickets from.

      It’s the machine in front of her.
