Honestly I’ve been very conscious of this lately as a fast walker and it turns out even when I’m in the best mood it’s just fucking painful to walk slow. I feel the same way driving slow in a car with a turbo — the car wants to move fast.
Are you able to meditate for more than a minute?
Yes?
Maybe try that walking? It doesn’t have to hurt to walk slow
Maybe while hiking but I’m not going to be meditating walking around my city filled with people.
(but also: What if you were moving toward a light source? Wouldn’t that mean you get to see faster? 🤔)
Any moth expert wanna comment on that now that it’s moth month?
The light you see would be blue shifted because of the speed you’re going and become gamma rays for you. Radio waves would shift to visible light. So you would see radio.
If you would move that fast on the ground, you’d slam into air molecules at light speed, causing a huge shockwave like a continuous Hiroshima nuke going of. That would make you sad.
“People in a hurry are experiencing stress.”
The problem with being faster than light is that you only see darkness…
Depression must be fast af then…
Dam that’s deep
… unless you follow the light, or run towards it.
Hmmm actually ☝️🤓
Sonic don’t walk fast, he runs fast.Because he’s addicted to _**cocaine**_
He’s not addicted. He can quit anytime he wants. He just really loves doing it.

Yeah. We’re unhappy because your slow ass won’t get out of the way! XD
You’re just mad because we’re in front.
Nah. It’s because you’re so proud to be an obstacle.
I do it without realizing it. I’m clumsy, awkward, and I really am unaware of my surroundings.
Just… Just don’t walk in the center of every walkway.
Exactly
Practice looking around you when making a stop, an placing yourself to the side of a path instead of in the middle
wow, this dude is everywhere!
So, you’re telling me that if I just walk slower, I’ll be happier?
Have you tried just walking slower?
Got yelled at by the twat behind me, wouldn’t recommend.
Depending on how slow the people in front of me are, I’m also more homicidal! At least Sonic has a lethal spin dash for such occasions.
True. Walking fast makes me very unhappy with all the slow walkers

I hate it I hate it such a shitty implication. This headline implies that walking fast makes you sad, but I’m willing to bet a lot that the study didn’t actually find such a causal connection.
My guess is that the causal link is stress here. Stressed people walk faster and are also sad.
So make the headline say “scientists say stressed people walk fast” or something because someone will try walking slowly in hopes of that bringing happiness
–rant end–
I didn’t even think about taking the title seriously but now that you say it, it does sound ridiculous. I wonder if it’s bait for people to come in explain causation (serious) to drum up engagement, or if it’s actually just dumb.
Headlines to drive clicks, that’s all it is.
I agree with your rant, this kind of title is annoying.
I do however also think that doing slow mindful walks will help against stress, so the implication that slow walking brings happiness is not a bad implication. Stressed out fast walking people really should try it. There’s no reason to be in a hurry all of the time.
There’s no reason to be in a hurry all of the time.
Tell that to the Amazon warehouse workers.
Amazon benefits from workers who don’t get stressed out too
But the headline doesn’t imply a causal connection, it’s your own bias that does
I read it and immediately assumed it’s because stressed people walk faster
The tagline is still making a massive leap of logic to a clickbaity conclusion.
No it’s not. If I were to find you on a graph, the faster you walk, the unhappier I’d find you to be—that’s what it’s saying.
Now, the content of the article? I have no idea. I’m not reading it.
It used to be that when my girlfriend and I were walking, she would always be rushing me by walking much faster. After starting my current job, I’ve become the fast walker, always having to slow down for her.
Uhhh I’m not sure I like the implication of this is
You know…
Only until you are running so fast the runner’s high kicks in and you are in heaven.

Yeah I’m unhappy about all these slow mother fuckers that are always in my way.
