    (but also: What if you were moving toward a light source? Wouldn't that mean you get to see faster? 🤔)

    The light you see would be blue shifted because of the speed you're going and become gamma rays for you. Radio waves would shift to visible light. So you would see radio.

    If you would move that fast on the ground, you'd slam into air molecules at light speed, causing a huge shockwave like a continuous Hiroshima nuke going of. That would make you sad.

    "People in a hurry are experiencing stress."

    --rant start--

    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

    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

    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.

    True. Walking fast makes me very unhappy with all the slow walkers

    Analyses for specific causes of death showed that participants with low walking speed had about a threefold increased risk of cardiovascular death.

    Yeah I'm unhappy about all these slow mother fuckers that are always in my way.

    The problem with being faster than light is that you only see darkness...

    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

    Idk I walk pretty fast and I’m pretty happy, aside from my crippling depression.

    Depending on how slow the people in front of me are, I'm also more homicidal! At least Sonic has a lethal spin dash for such occasions.

    So, you're telling me that if I just walk slower, I'll be happier?

    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.

    Honestly I’ve been very conscious of this lately as a fast walker and it turns out even when I’m in the best mood it’s just fucking painful to walk slow. I feel the same way driving slow in a car with a turbo — the car wants to move fast.

    But in sonic world, happy people run fast, sad people skate.

    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.
