I bet the car does a lot more stretching than you.
Point being, don’t discount flexibility and adding stretches to a good workout routine.
My car doesn’t do a lot of stretching, which is probably a good thing. I don’t think I could trust it to not break on the expressway otherwise.
Sounds like a bumpy ride, , what sorta tires you running to achieve that?
On the other hand, a more flexible car could get you out of a traffic jam more easily
At risk of turning the occupants into human jam
This was clever. You deserve more credit than a couple upvotes, so have a comment too!
Aw, that was kind. But people downvoted you! So have a comment in consolation.
According to my dogs, cats are dumb and stink.
I’m not sure what you could make with that info, but now you know.
The cat does exercise everyday though, they just have an optimal workout/recovery split.
optimal workout/recovery split
Sigh, I still haven’t figured this out
I just do what the nice lady in the app tells me to
Sleep 20 hours a day
I keep trying but my boss keeps waking me up saying things like “I’m going to fire your lazy ass” and “why is my wife under your desk?”
Run 4 hours straight, from 2am to 6am is the ideal time.
I mean, your cat will be old and feeble with slipping joints when you’re just barely learning what an actually sore back means, so it’s a bit of a trade off.
But is that related? Are staying fit without exercise at the cost of shorter lifespan? How does that work?
Nah, not really related. More of a consolation, a self-soothing thought. Flexible people don’t live longer or shorter unless they’re so flexible from health reasons that might come with other complications. Cats just have a shorter lifespan so they hit old age problems faster.
The advantage you have is being able to jog for half a mile without having to take a nap (assuming semi regular exercise)
Tell me you’re young, without telling me you’re young. 🤣
I am not young. You are just either disabled, or unhealthy. A half mile jog is normal exercise, if you are not disabled.
Damn that’s gotta be some of the most ignorant shit I’ve heard. I’m ignoring your assumptions about my health. But since when can’t disabled folk run? Just because they can’t run like you does not mean they can’t run. You need to delete this shit.
Are you dissabled? If not we certainly don’t need you being enraged on our behalf, we’re perfectly capable of doing that ourselves; if we find something actually ignorant or offensive.
Like it or not, I don’t have to be disabled to be indignant at someone I feel is being intolerant or ignorant. And believe it or not, I was not doing it for you, nor anyone else for that matter. I am allowed to express my feelings, positive and negative. I will not be shamed into silence, especially when I feel someone is out of line.
In fact, I feel that would set a dangerous precedent; a damned if I do, and damned if I don’t.
How dare I speak up?
How dare I stay silent?
No thank you. You have every right to be upset at me, and I have every right to be upset at [email protected], and you for that matter.
Do with that what you will.
Clearly I mean disabled.auch that they can’t run.
No one needs to “run like me”
The qualifier in the comment I replied to was that age was the determinate factor on the ability to jog a half mile. I refuted that and suggested that disability (which impacts the ability to run/jog) or health would be the actual determinate factors leading to someone not being able to run
As is obvious by looking around, lots of old folks can jog. As anecdote, there are several comments in this very thread describing older folks running.
You jumped to a conclusion looking to for a fight, and didn’t think critically.
Edit to be hyper clear: If you CANNOT jog a half mile, you either do not have the ability to do so via a disability, or you do not possess the health to do so.
Your age has nothing to do with it.
You replied to my comment, which at no point did it mention anything to do with running (or activity of any kind). So you were left to make an assumption of what I was referring to in my comment. That because I made a joke about being young, I must certainly be talking about fitness, and suggesting that older people can’t do fitness. It’s not like there are other reasons for my comment. None at all. And the “🤣” wasn’t indicative of my tone either. Nope.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m le tired.
That’s not the case. You replied to a comment regarding running and napping with the pithy “tell me you’re X…” Line.
Thus making the link between jogging, napping, and age.
I refuted that age does not mean you(read: anyone) can’t do those things, and other factors play a more direct role.
This link is very clear
Bruh ur just out of shape.
I see a 70 year old Japanese lady at my training hike location who runs circles around me. If you can’t jog half a mile then that’s not a youth issue, it’s a “desperately need to do some exercise” issue.
I have a 76 yo coworker who runs 10-15 miles a day. I am of course hoping for his death, but mainly because he is above me in seniority.
I’m 40 and can jog for several miles without needing a nap or a drink of water.
Are you some sort of mobile cactus?
You can’t slowly jog a HALF A MILE???
Unless you’re 70+ or have other medical issues then that’s on you.
My mother is 65 and ran a marathon last month.
I wouldn’t want her to try and do parkour or play football, but someone who exercises can absolutely stay fit well past middle age.
I’m 56 and I ride a bicycle 25-50 miles every day. Getting old is not a death sentence. Oh wait, yes it is.
People never mention gravity in these things.
Right, cats are exempt.
Gravity is a social construct like money and rant. That’s why we are bound to it while cats are not
Thank you! I’m so tired of Big Science trying to shove gravity down our throats when it is just a theory!

Yeah, everybody knows it’s the density that matters.
Its all in the diet, gotta start eating kibble
Swear I remember a greentext of someone eating primate kibble for similar reasons.
Your cat also won’t make it to 20, though.
cats regularly with proper medical care make it well past 20 these days.
Indoor cats at least.
Of course that kinda goes with proper medical care.
Lucky bastard.
Not having a brain that’s too complex for its own good and can develop suicidal ideation is where they’re really lucky.
Or depression. Or anxiety. Or learning disabilities.
Oh they can have anxiety alright
And also learning disabilities.
I mean they can’t even spell properly (“I can haz cheezburger” etc.).
You shut your damn mouth, my cat is 17 and fit as a fiddle.
My cat is only five and she’s been pretty medically precarious since 2y.o. unfortunately. Cherish the time you have, I don’t think my cat will make it to 17. In fact, I would be shocked and thrilled if she made it to 12
My cat is 18 and just in the last few months has suddenly become ancient - fur badly matted, has trouble jumping up on my 1’ high bed etc. She has always looked and acted like an 8-month-old kitten up to this point, very sad thing.
Oh, your cat will live forever!
Cats have no limiter. They are like anime protagonists.
Humans would seem equally spry and carefree if none of them made it past twenty.
True dat! When I was a kid, I would easily climb any tree I could get my hands on. Now that I have kids of my own, I’ve tried to climb trees again but it simply doesn’t work anymore.
Keep climbing…literally.
