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
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
Agreed… Moving to a perfectly flat city and living on the first floor isn’t helping me haha
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
You should see the names of asian big and tall clothing shops.
Asia doesn’t fuck around when it comes to conformity.
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.
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
I go on the escalator but walk because I’m only half lazy and also want to go fast
Walking fast on the moving sidewalks makes me feel like Captain America.
…moving…sidewalks??
Ohhhhh. I was thinking more of street sidewalks.
Hmm, would running make you feel like the Flash? Or is that just not in the cards?
Closeup for anyone interested
Right to American embassy?
You must be THIS BIG to ride this ride.
I’m a skinny bastard, so I’m taking the escalator
Idk why you’re joking but i used to be underweight and couldn’t afford a lot of food, and i genuinely tried to burn as few calories as possible, making choices like you’re describing all the time.
Edit: some weird typo autocorrected, i meant to say ‘I know you’re joking but[…]’
calories are cheap, it’s nutrition that costs
Some of us even have to skimp on the rice and beans
Did you even try being born wealthy?
No, way too lazy for that. My own fault, i know.
Yeah well maybe an icon that usually tells people where to take a shit shouldn’t be so fucking critical.
It’s educational and a good initiative. I use stairs as an opportunity for exercise also.
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.
Korean are savage, you will meet someone you haven’t seen in a while,and they will look at you straight in the eyes znd tell you " Wow, you gained weight!!!" Just after saying “hi!”
My friend is Chinese, straight from China. Her english is great. That doesn’t stop her from saying “why you wear that shirt, make you look so ugly”. I love the brutality.

I love it 🤣
That doesn’t look like Korea, I’m guessing Japan. The text looks like Chinese characters, and Korea hasn’t used those for hundreds of years. Korean script is more blocky and easily recognizable even with this incredible level of blur.
The black speech bubble looks absolutely like Korean to me. It’s possible the text underneath is simply a translation for Japanese and Chinese, though.
Perhaps. I can’t make out the black bubble, it’s too blurry, but I can definitely tell the white bubble is not Korean (SO is Korean and I can read but not speak Korean). If there were just a few more pixels, I could probably read what it says, and I can distinguish Japanese and Chinese, so I could make an educated guess about it being a translation.
That all looks like Hangul to me.
It apparently is, but it was so pixelated it looked like it could be Chinese or Japanese, and those posts are much more common than posts about Korea.
Someone posted a higher res image elsewhere, so I transcribed the Hangul and ran it through Google translate, in case anyone is interested: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/15943722
