Invent a machine called the Walkie-talkie
Never walk and talk
In high school when the gym teacher didn’t want to do anything we did a “walk and talk” that’s doing laps around the track walking. Used to love those days, it was an excuse to fuck around.
When my gym teacher didn’t want to do anything, he called Free Play and just let us raid the supply closet
I fucking loved those weird little square skateboard things
I love walking and talking. And not just because it hides the fact I have no idea when to maintain eye contact during a conversation!
Unlike driving and talking, when I’m driving around a one ton hunk of metal that could kill people if I’m too distracted
Also how is walking around the town boring? You get more time to see what’s around you and if there’s an interesting spot you can stop and check it out.
Another user here told me the average american hike is 3 miles and I have not been able to get that off my brain since. That’s the shit I do with a friend on a hangover to get some fresh air
You have to remember two things
-
Many Americans live in suburbs where 3 miles might get you out of the suburb
-
America’s car brained infrastructure design means most places have incredibly shit accommodations for pedestrians
Hold on, you mean a “hike in nature”-hike?
3 miles doesn’t get you anywhere
It’s what I’ve been told and I trust every user of this site entirely uncritically
In most of the popular hiking spots in my state, once you go a mile down a trail there’s like nobody around.
IMO it’s more about duration than mileage. You can’t call it a hike if it’s under an hour, that’s a walk. I’m of the opinion that if you can do it comfortably without drinking water it’s probably a walk. That said, three miles can definitely be a hike, there are plenty of trails in the northeast US that will give you >2000 feet of elevation gain in that distance.
Meanwhile, me a polyam American who dates more frequently than the average person: “Let’s go on a walk date! Here’s a list of parks nearby I enjoy!”
Stop your sinful lifestyle and only walk and talk with one partner at a time.
I have a date planned with 2 partners at the same time on Saturday. We’re definitely going to be taking a walk. We might even all 3 of us hold hands. You can’t stop us, sin is just too much fun
I will karate chop one of the hand holdings. If you walk on and re-join hands. I will karate chop again.
Lol I just saw a group in my town was planning a “volkswalk”. After giving it the biggest sideeye ever, I looked it up, and they’re a harmless hobby group that encourages people to go on walks, inspired by the German movement in the 60s-70s. In conclusion, Germans be walkin
I guess it’s sometimes called volksmarchen in German, which isn’t ominous at all
volk just means people. So its a “people’s walk.” Volkspartei would be people’s party. German is a neat language. I like their word sandwiches and accents.
