    most of the time it’s because of something out of the person’s control not that being fat is even a bad thing. I for one just lost 48 lbs literally just by getting on Wellbutrin, went from 310 to 262 in a couple months. It’s usually like a genetic or metabolism thing, or they were on a med that made then gain weight, something.

      Its not a bad thing unless the person doesn’t enjoy it, but regardless of weight, everyone should get some simple daily exercises

      Being fat is a bad thing. Its bad for you health and self image. No one wakes up wanting to be fat. Don’t be afraid to fat shame, that will atleast motivate those fookers a bit

        True, no one wakes up with a goal to be fat. But if you had to choose between being full symptom schizophrenic and being fat the choice is more nuanced

            Do you believe that weight gain is not a side effect medication or are you just being obtuse because its fun?

              It can be. But then it’s especially important to look out for your physical health. Don’t let medication be an excuse to let it get out of hand

        Apparently the average radius of the Earth at its equator is 6,378,000m. This means that in a day, someone sitting on a couch at the equator would travel (2 * \pi * 6378,000)m, which equals 40053840m. There are around 86,400 seconds in a day, so the equatorial couch sitter travels at 464m/s (rounded to 3s.f). That’s 1040mph.

        I think the average walking speed is 3pmh. Amusingly, the mph figure I calculated above is 1037 if rounded to 4s.f. rather than 3, so the speed difference between the walker and a couch sitter is literally a rounding error.

        The conclusion here is something that everyone here already knew before I wrote this comment: it’s hard to make any sense of individual human health progress if we try to think of it on a planetary scale.
