I've noticed anger makes me go faster when I'm walking or on the exercise bike
Yeah. We're unhappy because your slow ass won't get out of the way! XD
When I notice the person behind me catching up, I move to the side so they can pass
wow, this dude is everywhere!
Do these fine gentlemen look unhappy to you?
My god! Look at their form.
He's cheating! Look! There's a hop, see?! There's another one!
You're not a race walker at all, you're nothing but a common jogger.

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--
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.
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.
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.
"People in a hurry are experiencing stress."
True. Walking fast makes me very unhappy with all the slow walkers
Hmmm actually ☝️🤓
Sonic don't walk fast, he runs fast.
Because he's addicted to ~cocaine~
He’s not addicted. He can quit anytime he wants. He just really loves doing it.
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...
The problem with being faster than light is that you only see darkness...
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]
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.
Now I know why I walk fast
Lemmy only accepts bespoke, artisanal, hand-crafted shitposts.
said… people content to be slow? Or… might these be… most kindly… and not shaming anyone… lazy assed bitches?
So, you're telling me that if I just walk slower, I'll be happier?
Have you tried just walking slower?
Got yelled at by the twat behind me, wouldn’t recommend.
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.
Gotta go pee!
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.
This must be. I always walk fast or even run and im sad as fuck
Only until you are running so fast the runner's high kicks in and you are in heaven.
This can’t be true although I only have anecdotal evidence to back up my claim.
It’s me. I’m unhappy and a very slow walker.
Correlation does not imply causation, in this case it doesn't mean that sad people walk fast. A few years ago there was a similar study that said that people that walked faster were healthier or something, the reality was that younger people walk faster, they also happen to be healthier than older people.
In this case, it's entirely possible that younger people are fucking depressed due to the state of everything.
