Yeah well maybe an icon that usually tells people where to take a shit shouldn't be so fucking critical.

Closeup for anyone interested
I like how it says save energy, but also says you burn 0.5kcal per step
"Calories" that would otherwise be burned by the escalator (electricity), I'm sure it uses more when under load, some of them even go in low speed mode when no one's on it.
I haven't seen escalators that do that where I'm from, but I was just joking that the claims of saving energy were in reference to doing physical work instead of not using power for the escalator.
8 SECONDS FOR EVERY 2 STEPS CLIMBED? Did Korea just discover the secret of immortality and it's to keep climbing stairs?
Its possible to climb 4 steps at once
Assuming you can do it in a second and that the way back down takes the same amount of time, you can increase your life by 8 seconds per second
If you do this for 20 years continuously, you could live to over 160 years old
Just spend 3 hours a day climbing stairs and you live 1 more day. Ez. Doctors hate this one simple trick.
But then they put a pole in the middle of the escalator access. LOL.
The pole is to prevent people from taking carts and similar objects up and potentially causing an accident
Though it does have unintended consequences

You must be THIS BIG to ride this ride.
But no more than THIS WIDE because of the pole
Ever tried to climb 5 flights of stairs after a redeye, with 56 lbs of luggage?

I'm a skinny bastard, so I'm taking the escalator
Idk why you're joking but i used to be underweight and couldn't afford a lot of food, and i genuinely tried to burn as few calories as possible, making choices like you're describing all the time.
Edit: some weird typo autocorrected, i meant to say 'I know you're joking but[...]'
calories are cheap, it's nutrition that costs
Some of us even have to skimp on the rice and beans
Did you even try being born wealthy?
No, way too lazy for that. My own fault, i know.
In your next life, do more crime.
It's been less than a decade and it seems I'm already in my next life
Boy, the comment section should be fun with this one
