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 🤓
Can’t tell if an Excel enthusiast or a palindrome aficionado. 🤔
Yes
People don’t know how to use greater-than or less-than symbols
That’s if you interpret the text as being part of the equation
500 greater then steps per day
500 > steps_per_dayUnfortunately I don’t think we have enough information to solve for
steps_per_day, though I assume it is also= 0.So we can make an educated guess that
500 > steps_per_day >= 0
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.
They where busy… walking?
such as yourself you mean?
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
500 greater than steps per day
Yeah so I did the math. 500 is supposed greater than your number of steps per day.
That actually makes sense
aka steps per day less than 500
I don’t get why people have a problem with this

If you can’t get any better, the only way to go up the leaderboard is to incapacitate your opponents.
Challenge? Bro this is just life
I do believe that is the joke.
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…
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.
I don’t think I can go back to my 20s.

Takeout every day? Your monthly food bills gotta be over 1k
We’re probably talking about dollar menus, gas station food and Cicis pizza buffet.
Does my $1.50 Costco hot dog and drink count as takeout?
Gourmet take out especially at that sweet $1.50!
Cicis pizza buffet.
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.
Sometimes I’ll get two chipotle bowls if I’m feeling especially peckish
Before you do that, better study this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysautonomia
That’s called middle age. You’re on!
Completed 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
I feel attacked
I feel successful
I wouldn’t last 24 hours.
