“Hey gurl, you must take public transit.”
That’s some next level line xD

When your wife appreciates it?
Back in 2006/7 I worked at the agency on record for a lot of huge brands and we had just gotten Pepsi. So the CD asked my department (interactive) if we could come up with something unique before we had the big kickoff with their staff. I don’t know which one of us came up with the idea but a we decided to make a soda machine that would give you a free Pepsi if you hugged it. Got a machine and went to work engineering it, installing a screen so it can display graphics and a message. They loved it. We ended up redesigning a machine from scratch that could sense hugs or just a smile and made a commercial from it. That was back when designers were given fun tasks to be as creative as possible.
wasn’t that coca-cola in 2012?
Maybe they did one too. I just remember this project vividly as it was a blast to do. We definitely did it first

This still happens, you’re just old and cynical.
These types of efforts might save money on health care costs long term
if you actually want to save money on healthcare you make public transport free and good, and limit driving as much as possible.
public transport in general does, as it typically involves 10 minutes walking per trip.
Unfortunately I suspect that the people who it would reduce costs for most wouldn’t consider taking the bus in the first place.
It’s a long-term thing, like good primary education. Get 'em into good habits while they’re young. Probably work great if kids have bus passes for school most of the year and so get into the habit of using public transit, then suddenly need to either pay or exercise over the summer break
This of course assumes a robust transit system, making the idea of taking the bus or train somewhere even worthwhile in the first place. Some places have that, some not so much
Yep, most of the US does not have any public transit access. And I believe rural US probably contributes heavily to the most severe obesity numbers.
One of the biggest strains on a government is the health of its citizens. Decreasing obesity and other risk factors through physical activity will save them quite a bit more than a bus fare.
which is why public transport should be free
…and most governments learned nothing.
And it’s all paid for by one pervert who sits across from the machine.
That man’s name? Albert Einstein.
It’s true, I am 20 squats
Albert Einstein
Misread that as Albert Epstein, got me thinking. 🤔
We don’t talk about the heinous relativistic things that were done on Einstein island
He sells the footage on the dark web to degens
This is where I come in. I genuinely believe no one can be physically attracted to me. I can use the machine and the pervert can rethink his life as he sees a butt crack out of my stained jogging pants. It also sounds like I’m farting, I’m not though. My shoes makes a weird sound on the tongue. I can’t figure out why.
I wonder whether it checks that you’re going to parallel at least or no reps you 😂
What a great idea!

Doing their bit to preserve Slavic traditions.
(Yes, I know Romania is not Slavic, though they share the region’s squatting-in-tracksuits culture to an extent.)
That would be Balkan traditions darling.
I was gonna say. It’s Eastern Europe. That’s like free bus passes for UK residents if they successfully form a queue.
Loanslavsquats
Didn’t they have these in China years ago to promote exercise or some shit.
They did it to promote some shit.
In the USA, the machine would be accompanied by a paramedic team and several vultures (lawyers) circling above. In case of a heart attack.

I have been doing weight training with my 70 year old mom for a year and a half; At this point she can do 15 front loaded squats with a 10 kilos barbell easily. She would be zooming on free tickets all over town!
Does it accept video loops ?
Something like this appeared near the Miramax offices in LA, where if you showed it your bare feet it gave you a milkshake. It remains a mystery who put it there.
A rich feet fetishist?
Looks like she gets a lot of free bus tickets.
