This must be. I always walk fast or even run and im sad as fuck
Analyses for specific causes of death showed that participants with low walking speed had about a threefold increased risk of cardiovascular death.
Saw this in the news a few days ago.
Maybe cognitive decline makes you more happy
But in sonic world, happy people run fast, sad people skate.
Now I know why I walk fast
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…

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.
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.
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.
Do these fine gentlemen look unhappy to you?
My god! Look at their form.
Yeah. We’re unhappy because your slow ass won’t get out of the way! XD
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.
wow, this dude is everywhere!
True. Walking fast makes me very unhappy with all the slow walkers
(but also: What if you were moving toward a light source? Wouldn’t that mean you get to see faster? 🤔)
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.
If I were forced to see ABBA I’d welcome getting nuked.
Any moth expert wanna comment on that now that it’s moth month?
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.
“People in a hurry are experiencing stress.”
