monthly challenge

Sounds miserable no thanks.

Shouldn't it be 500<?

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

I did that one day. Does it count?

I've been training for this my whole life

Completed it

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.

Yeah but you'll also be eating sausage for every meal of every day for that entire month.
- And?
- It's gonna fit right in with the alcohol
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?
- 500 greater then steps per day
- That’s if you interpret the text as being part of the equation
- Yes that's the intention but they got the order wrong, it would make more sense if it was written as ateps/day < 500
- x>5 <=> 5>x 🤓
- People don't know how to use greater-than or less-than symbols
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
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.
such as yourself you mean?
- Nope, it's wrong lol
They where busy... walking?

I wouldn’t last 24 hours.

Challenge? Bro this is just life

I do believe that is the joke.

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 just offputting, it took me a second to realize what it meant. "<500 steps/day" is more legible imo because it flows like normal language instead of being random math logic.
Yeah so I did the math. 500 is supposed greater than your number of steps per day.
- That actually makes sense
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.

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.

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.
- No. Steps/day is the unit. They used the symbol incorrectly

That's called middle age. You're on!

I don't think I can go back to my 20s.

Lol Brokie
/s

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

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...
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.

If I get paid, fuck yeah I'm on it!

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

Takeout every day? Your monthly food bills gotta be over 1k

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.
- Maybe the old sizes, their servings are miniscule now. And the prices went the opposite direction.
We’re probably talking about dollar menus, gas station food and Cicis pizza buffet.
- Cicis pizza buffet.
  Just don't eat 22 slices in 45 minutes.
- Does my $1.50 Costco hot dog and drink count as takeout?

This is already my life, just more gaming

Finally a realistic challenge.

But my home cooked meals slap!

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 the challenge over this point. Everything else seems reasonable.

I feel attacked

I feel successful

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.

finally a challenge i can rise up to!

Ew, no.

Does frozen pizza count as takeout?

a pizza which you have to put in a microwave or oven?
the 2nd one disqualifies sorry bro. let me tell you now why, if you have to use an oven aka go to your kitchen and use timer on your phone or whatever while you listen to shakira waiting for something to cook because oven cooking is not 5 minutes dont tell me otherwise and oh you have to TAKE OUT a clean dish that is suitable for the oven, and you'd even have to have had kitchen experience in first place to know which dish of your wife's silverware, who IS NOT around otherwise she wouldn't let you shove bugers in the oven like it was microwave without even removing the plastic wrappings, and once the fire is set ablaze and you luckly get to extinguish it somehow, your neighbor has called 911 already and is outside ringing your doorbell to tell you there is a fire smoke coming from your windows and asking if you were all safe like the concerned neighbor he is, then by the time firefighters arrive you just go 'Oh... fire..because of the brugers... the plastice?.. i thought it was the oven's bad then the fire started...omg'

If I did that 2 decades ago do I get credit?

No this is for 2025. You could still try and do the prestige challenge you unlocked back then:
hourly porn
hourly alcohol
10-16 hours on the game/day
1-2,5 hours of sleep/day
<250 steps/day
0 push-ups hourly
no take-out, only leftovers
