said… people content to be slow? Or… might these be… most kindly… and not shaming anyone… lazy assed bitches?
Idk I walk pretty fast and I’m pretty happy, aside from my crippling depression.
Analyses for specific causes of death showed that participants with low walking speed had about a threefold increased risk of cardiovascular death.
If I walk fast enough I can outrun death
Some of y’all have never watched a 200kg / 440lb southern woman walk. She is not happy. And I’m not happy to be walking behind her.
(insert your mom joke here)
Or really anything Bundy said in Married with Children while at work.
Never been to Africa so I wouldn’t know. Or do you mean South America or Australia?
Southern US. Race doesn’t matter. White, black, brown or whatever. The walk is the same. Not many 200kg women in Africa.
Tracks, I walk so fast it makes people upset with me. I just hate wasting time, why not get where you are going quickly. I’m also deeply unhappy.
Saw this in the news a few days ago.
Maybe cognitive decline makes you more happy
Seems to be working for you.
[if you’re going to hand me an opening like that, don’t get mad because I used it]
This must be. I always walk fast or even run and im sad as fuck
So much anger from the fast walkers. Hmm.
Only until you are running so fast the runner’s high kicks in and you are in heaven.
But in sonic world, happy people run fast, sad people skate.
Knowing me I’d just be aware I have dementia and remember nothing else, feeling like shit
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–
Headlines to drive clicks, that’s all it is.
Women with round asses like seen here are more likely to walk quicker
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.
There’s no reason to be in a hurry all of the time.
Tell that to the Amazon warehouse workers.
Amazon benefits from workers who don’t get stressed out too
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.
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.
