hhhhhh Turns out us who walk at a stressed out "get outta my way, tardfuck" level may live longer than those fuckers that always seem to be walking in groups of 3 or more wide whenever you're in a hurry The research was carried out with pensioners but they think it applies to people of all ages in general quote:University of Pittsburgh researchers recently crunched data from nearly 35,000 subjects 65 years or older and discovered that each increase in gait speed of 0.1 meters/second correlated with a 12 percent decrease in the risk of death. Among women 75 to 84, for example, 92 percent of the fastest walkers (traveling at 1.4 meters/second or faster) lived another ten years, while only 35 percent of the slowest walkers (shuffling at 0.4 meters/second or slower) survived until then. Spread the message or whatever and let's rid the world of the stumbling phone toting zombies that infest our major cities

This is why I hate cities. People either running me over or lumbering and slow as gently caress. No moderate pacing to be found.

Read the thread title and hoped that it meant slow drivers.  Death to everyone who does 5 or more under the speed limit

No moderate pacing to be found. so move faster! anyways that is good news, I walk around SF like a old NYC mad-man whose late to a business meeting. the worst is honestly fat bitches with their face glued to their cellphones waddling at a v slow pace in the middle of the sidewalk so you pretty much have to elbow them and get around them.

The quicker pace is not a magic cure dumbshits. Old people move slowly bacause they are sick and weak. Slower = closer to death. Goddamned what a lovely study.

It's like that study that suggested fat people are healthier because as a group they have lower mortality rates than the skinny. No, it's because some of those skinny people are that way because they're sick, so that group has higher mortality. A study that shows that people who cant move quickly die more is pretty worthless. You would see the same thing correlating pretty much any thing a unhealthy person can't do with mortality.

I move quickly, and I am constantly irritated by people with no situational awareness who are moving slow and/or blocking me from being able to move past them whether it is driving a car or just walking around in a grocery store. I seriously think the richer slash more well off you are the worse you are with that poo poo (on average ofc) just because the richer a person is the less likely it is that they give a poo poo about other people. Go to Oceanside, everyone is polite and quick. Go to Cardiff, everyone is milling around like a fuckwit oblivious to their surroundings. Just the other day I got hit because some retard started backing up and just kept backing up until they hit my parked car because apparently mirrors are not important.

gently caress people who stand around at choke points and force me to walk into the street to get around them. That's my two cents.

Hmmmhh yea, the middle of a busy shopping center is a great place to suddenly stop walking and have a conversation with my friends while people try to get around us.
