    Me: 4,6 seconds to make an avarage breath cycle. About 4000 steps on an avarage day.

    After 1 year I would get ~343.000 €/$ for breathing or 365.000 €/$ for walking.

    So yes it is better to get the money for walking but what if I ever lose the ability to walk but not to breath?

    A day of breathing at 5 cents per breath is worth about 4000 steps a day at 25 cents per step.

          A healthy adult takes like 10k steps a day so with that you would earn 2.5 as much a day than breathing. So if you walk for 20 years youd get 50 years of worth of money from breathing. Now, you could also easily extend that to 16-20k where youd earn 100 years in those 20 years. So yeah the walking is better. Also thats like saying you get 2500 dollars to walk in the forest every day and thats a sick deal.

            I don’t walk as much as you, but if someone was paying me 25 cents per step I’d probably respond to that incentive by walking way more than 10 miles a day.

    You think you stole my meme, but jokes on you I ALREADY STOLE IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE.

    while I’m here i might as well say, you can probably make way more with steps than you ever could breathing, so long as you stay healthy.

    I might make it a 9 to 5 marathon each two days or so, invest the money to retire early, and if i ever need more money I can just run again, it’s more healthy too v:

    Average healthy adult breathes 12-20 times a minute (those are the numbers we carry around with us in healthcare). So at the upper end, 20b/minx60min/hrx24hr/day gives you $1,440.00 a day. If we count even the impact of your foot while running as steps (does a specific word for that exist? I don’t know. In my head a step comes from walking…), a good pace is 3 steps / second. Go for a good 30 minute run, and you get 3st/sec * 60sec/min * 30min for a whopping total of 5400 steps, or $1,350.00. Move around your house while cooking, cleaning, getting the kids/pets/lover where they need to be, and you might end up a bit better off than the breathing. My average steps just around the house add up to 5k-6k, I believe.

    The IRS can lick my balls if I’m being paid in cash under the table though.

    Ehh, wouldn’t mind paying million in taxes. I’ll be making millions a year through step alone since i take around 10k each day.

        Hold up, you’re right! For some reason i multiply what i would get a month by…365, and not 12. Whoops.

      I think the joke is more focused on the problem that you’ll have to precisely count and report every single one of them.
