This would encourage me to choose physical fitness, or to laugh as my tired ass goes up the escalator. I certainly see where there is room for hurt feelings (especially with regards to health issues), but this is pretty effective given that it is in a different language and I instantly understood it.

The fatter arrow is just the icing on the cake.

I think it's a good nudge tbh. Stairs are proven again and again to be an incredibly healthy workout given that you don't have issues with your knees.

I just came back from Japan and 20k steps a day and hundreds of stairs for a month really put me in shape and made me realize how important good shoes are lol

I think stairs on the way up is good for health and fine for knees, stairs on the way down doesn't do as much for health and hurts my knees if I do too much.

That's why on they way down you grind on the railing with your skateboard.

Nudge isn't real there is no evidence

Dunno it works on me 🤷‍♂️

Anecdotes are not evidence. I'd suggest reading more about the pseudoscience first but you seem to not care that you're spreading bs.

Given the current political climate, being on the side of posting lies and misinformation on the internet seems an odd choice. But someone has to be the bad guy, I suppose.

What a stretch my neckbearded dude. Just posting "WRONG" is not helping anyone and just makes you look like a douchebag. Bye

While I agree if you can take the stairs you should, however it really breeds ridicule if you are overweight and can't do it

I think its a very good point. We should probably figure out how to distinguish representation here between "I'm not taking stair" sort of fat and healthy. Maybe it would make more sense to use a carrot here and instead if skinny stick man have a health symbol like a literal carrot maybe idk

Godammit you have to make such a good and insightful comment and then use lol as punctuation. Fuck that. You're not laughing out loud, liar.

Agreed.. Moving to a perfectly flat city and living on the first floor isn't helping me haha

It's educational and a good initiative. I use stairs as an opportunity for exercise also.
