This is a real machine in Romania. Do 20 squats in front of it, and it prints you a free bus ticket.

These types of efforts might save money on health care costs long term
Unfortunately I suspect that the people who it would reduce costs for most wouldn't consider taking the bus in the first place.

I think you got a minority of downvotes to start, then others piled in. There are plenty of similar jokes in the thread that didn't get that treatment. Also, people
on the internetare generally pretty bad at reading and the venn diagram has a lot of overlap with people looking for an excuse to be offended.Yeah, I think it’s actually funnier that it got downvoted. But damn I’m curious how it all went down for everyone.

public transport in general does, as it typically involves 10 minutes walking per trip.

It's a long-term thing, like good primary education. Get 'em into good habits while they're young. Probably work great if kids have bus passes for school most of the year and so get into the habit of using public transit, then suddenly need to either pay or exercise over the summer break
This of course assumes a robust transit system, making the idea of taking the bus or train somewhere even worthwhile in the first place. Some places have that, some not so much

Variety of exercises
Yes but how many help you see more great asses?
how many percent, do you think, was this the inventor's motivation?

That's ridiculous! They should hook it up to an exercise cycle and generate electricity off of it instead.
great, you just generated 0.01 kWh

And it's all paid for by one pervert who sits across from the machine.
He sells the footage on the dark web to degens

Albert Einstein
Misread that as Albert Epstein, got me thinking.
We don't talk about the heinous relativistic things that were done on Einstein island

I have no idea, but at least like twenty?

Still, anything is better than nothing.

Something like this appeared near the Miramax offices in LA, where if you showed it your bare feet it gave you a milkshake. It remains a mystery who put it there.

wrote last edited by [email protected]yeah, 20 squats are like, what? 2 minutes max? that's 3 Wh at 100 W power, or 0.003 kWh.
if you get $0.10 per kWh, that's $0.0003 per passenger, that's not enough to pay for a bus ticket.

Why are we talking about squats?
-
Why is 2min somehow equivalent to 3?
-
We're comparing no power generated to any power generated, ignoring the equipment cost thats infinite gain.

Most places in the US don't have any public transport to offer a discount on.

Yep, most of the US does not have any public transit access. And I believe rural US probably contributes heavily to the most severe obesity numbers.
