This would encourage me to choose physical fitness, or to laugh as my tired ass goes up the escalator. I certainly see where there is room for hurt feelings (especially with regards to health issues), but this is pretty effective given that it is in a different language and I instantly understood it.
The fatter arrow is just the icing on the cake.
This person attentions to detail
I think it's a good nudge tbh. Stairs are proven again and again to be an incredibly healthy workout given that you don't have issues with your knees.
I just came back from Japan and 20k steps a day and hundreds of stairs for a month really put me in shape and made me realize how important good shoes are lol
Stairs are proven again and again to be an incredibly healthy workout given that you don’t have issues with your knees.
I think stairs on the way up is good for health and fine for knees, stairs on the way down doesn't do as much for health and hurts my knees if I do too much.
That's why on they way down you grind on the railing with your skateboard.
While I agree if you can take the stairs you should, however it really breeds ridicule if you are overweight and can't do it
I think its a very good point. We should probably figure out how to distinguish representation here between "I'm not taking stair" sort of fat and healthy. Maybe it would make more sense to use a carrot here and instead if skinny stick man have a health symbol like a literal carrot maybe idk
But I do have issues with my knees lol
Godammit you have to make such a good and insightful comment and then use lol as punctuation. Fuck that. You're not laughing out loud, liar.
haters gonna hate lol
I literally lolled at this lol
I chortled.
Nudge isn't real there is no evidence
Dunno it works on me 🤷♂️
Anecdotes are not evidence. I'd suggest reading more about the pseudoscience first but you seem to not care that you're spreading bs.
Sure thing buddy
Agreed.. Moving to a perfectly flat city and living on the first floor isn't helping me haha
But then they put a pole in the middle of the escalator access. LOL.
In Korea, the left of the escalator is for walking, the right is for standing.
(They have signs saying "no walking" but that's what the divider is for; to double the capacity)
Yeah, we do that in America sometimes too. Most people ignore it, just like on the highway.
Same in Austria, and I'm pretty sure also in Germany
I was about to say, they put a giant pole in the middle, no one who is fat will enjoy fitting through that and some even fatter people will never fit lmao
The pole is to prevent people from taking carts and similar objects up and potentially causing an accident
Though it does have unintended consequences
Why do people have carts on the subway?
Not necessarily carts like the ones you see in shopping malls, but it's also for things that would not be safe on the escalators like:
Accidentally letting them go would be dangerous.
Stroller is the word you were looking for for baby cart. I hate when I can't think of a word, it pisses me off until I look it up or somehow remember and I can't focus on anything else.
its not for the subway, its for the elevator. Its dangerous to have carts on elevator
I've seen these sorts of things at subway exits/entrances in airports, where you have carts for moving lots of bags at once. There might also be shops nearby with shopping carts that people have tried to take on the escalator in the past.
I'm not Korean(perhaps someone familiar with the place might be able to offer more insight), just offering some possibilities, but it's difficult to know without more context.
I think it is more of presenting a choice.
Do you want to be fit and slim? Take the stairs.
Do you want to be fat? Take the escalator.
Anyone know what the speech bubble says?
You should see the names of asian big and tall clothing shops.
Asia doesn't fuck around when it comes to conformity.
finally, accommodations for Americans
It's educational and a good initiative. I use stairs as an opportunity for exercise also.
