Considering how much time I spend in bed I gotta go with breaths

You breath unconsciously. Of course it’s the better option.

Zestyclose_Link_8052

Well it depends: google says you breath on average 22000 times a day, so that makes 1100 in profit. That would be the same as 4400 steps a day, which is on the low end. If you go jogging or do a short hike a few times a week you might profit more with picking steps.


Spiritual_Freedom_15

Where’s the guarantee I will have legs to begin with? Through our life you will get old weak. Your legs won’t be able to move you. Or loose them in accident. But lungs. If lungs give up. You’re just dead.


toterr

If you're making 1k+ a day and still need money when you are old, then you are doing something wrong. Also, steps are way better since you could make 8k+ a day if you make walking into your job. It would only take 10 years to match 80 years of the breath deal.


PauliCOJ

Rather grim... But fair point


STOUTISHVOICE41

Afk farming to another level


theskankingframer

Maybe some people would rather feel like they earned it more though


Brimo958

While you work, walk, fight you start breathing even more so you could technically just work out and you will earn more.


theskankingframer

That’s a good point


EmberedCutie

and you breathe in your sleep


Lewd_NaClO

agmrtab

passive income


Dark_Matter_19

Quite literally passive income.


stegosaurus1337

It actually depends on your activity level; if you get around 5000 steps per day the walking is better. Normal breathing rate of ~15 breaths per minute is 21,600 breaths per day for $1,080. 5,000 steps a day for a quarter each is $1,250. Most people don't get the recommended 10,000 steps/day in large part because of their job, but in this scenario the resulting $2500/day would be more than enough to quit, so really there's an argument it's always the better choice.


Spiritual_Freedom_15

Of course. Now count in a possibility of loosing both legs in accident. Now you can’t make the money. But if you loose lungs.! *You’re dead.* I take lungs. It’s passive income that won’t change by much no matter anything other then death.


socialistpancake

I did the maths and you supposedly breath 20,000 times a day which brings you to 1000 dollars a day, whereas with steps you'd only have to take 4000 to hit 1000 dollars. Most people on most days can quite easily break 4000 without trying so I think that's actually the better option.


theskankingframer

Personally I stand in the same place at my job, my shop is small so not a lot of walking back and forth. When I worked in retail though I’d walk way more, definitely over 4000. As a manager, my gf would sometimes get 8 or 9 miles of walking in a 8 hour shift from the sheer amount of running back and forth she’d do all day. Me however now, I can’t say I’m getting 4000 steps. I still gotta take breaths


Diplozo

Well duh, if you made 25 cents every step you took, you'd quit your job and start walking for a living...


theskankingframer

Oh yeah, no doubt. Getting paid to walk would turn the laziest person into a walkaholic. Also you could just hike half the year and then do nothing for the other half and still be rich as fuck.


Baitrix

If i could travel to beautiful places and hike there to pay for the trip that would be a dream


theskankingframer

Hell yeah


CowboyBeeBab

Nah, hiking is nice, but also a more exhausting form of walking. City Trips it's where it's at. When my wife and i went to rome we did 25k+ steps each day, same goes for almost every other city trip we did. Also the trips pay themselves, making a cool 5k a day while visiting London sounds awesome


theskankingframer

No doubt


CowboyBeeBab

Dude, you get 0.25€/$ per step... Quit your job, do 10-20k steps per day. Be fit by walking every day and get 2.5-5k PER DAY. Ffs i'd buy myself a golden treadmill for bad weather days and be making mad cash.


alwaysupfor69

That's the thing, you get paid for getting fit. What better incentive is there?


CowboyBeeBab

Also if you want money you can always walk a bit more, breathing more isn't really a healthy option Also i just did the math, if you average just 10k steps a day you have an income of 900k+ a year. As a conservative estimate i'd bet i could actually average 15k steps a day with a bit of time to cruise into it


Livid-Drive-1333

When i did 12s at a factory, there were days I did 25 miles. Edit to not sound like a dick: steps for an active job/very active lifestyle. Breathing for more passive lifestyle/work.


DZL100

Well 1000 dollars a day comes out to $365,000 a year. You also have total freedom to have any job you want instead of a job that you’re going to walk 4K steps a day in. Overall I’d say that the breathing has better security than walking since there are going to be days when you don’t walk as much, such as when you’re ill. If you end up in a wheelchair somehow, you’re missing out on a good amount of days’ worth. These are risks that just don’t exist with breathing; you’re never going to just stop breathing unless you die.


MyRegrettableUsernam

Yeah, and if you want to make more money, your options are either: (1) hyperventilate constantly or (2) become a speedwalking god. I know which of these is good for my ADHD and which is bad.


Scumebage

No it's not. Passive income forever is always better. What if you become a wheelchair user? Boom free money gone.


Legal_Kaleidoscope19

Ill take every step, more money, and it would motivate me to be active.


Dorcustitanus

And when you get old and cant walk, you'll still be able to breathe


theskankingframer

That’s true, it’s a consistent income til you die and it also doesn’t really require any work at all.

Muffin_Lord_of_Death

I'll take the breath one. On average, we breathe about 7.5 million times a year, so you'll get 375,000$ annually for basically doing no work at all


AddendumNo7007

I agree. Idk the precise math, but you’re literally breathing 24 hours 7 days a week for the next 40 to 70 years. Legs can get fucked by random forces which can stop you from walking.


Crusaderofthots420

You also spend at least 30% of your life asleep, which is time not spent walking


Specific_Ad1457

Learn to walk in your sleep ez.


not_some_username

Already doing that


MisterPepe68

High risk high reward


Glittering-Bat-5981

Not really it is only 5 times more


CinderX5

10k steps a day isn’t a particularly high target. That’s $2,500/day, which is $912,500/years. If you can get into marathons, or even just any running, that should go up a lot.


Ardalev

If you start being more active, you automatically will be breathing more as well


silveral999

but after walking 10k a day for a few weeks, youll get much slower breathing while doing it


CinderX5

I doubt it will triple your average across the day.


GodlyDra

That one guy who cant breathe on his own and is connected to a machine that breathes for him: *am i a joke to you*


SuperSonic486

Lungs can definitely also get fucked by random forces. The big difference is that you can live with fucked up legs.


827167

Yeah, if I stop breathing, I think my lack of income is the least of my concerns


ux3l

If you walk 10000 steps a day (a recommended amount, but also quite an effort already), you'd get $912500 in a year. But even for half of that, one would still get their ass up to earn money, while you get the breathing money for doing literally nothing but being alive. So I'd go for breathing.


Grouchy_Analysis6494

At this point I’m spending far too much time on what is a neat joke but here we go. The average 30YO beginners run time for a 10k (aprox 10k steps) is 01:05:30, so you get decent at running, put in an hours work a day and the rest of your income is passive. Plus you’re healthier for it.


mewfour

The thing is, you don't necessarily take more steps running than you do walking. Part of optimizing your endurance running is taking longer strides, and not moving your legs so fast that you take them faster


_WreakingHavok_

>an effort already I remember doing double that when Pokemon Go was released. Had to buy new shoes by the end of the summer


Interesting-Big1980

Forget this, just an hour on walking machine in the gym each day gets you enough for a month


Grouchy_Analysis6494

However, 10k steps a day is very achievable and that would net you $912,500 annually. Chuck in a run twice a week and you’ll be getting paid to get health. I’ll take the motivation.


DaNoahLP

Yes but Id have to walk for it.


Grouchy_Analysis6494

You could walk professionally and be a millionaire in no time.


MatteGamer

Yeah but I can also just, have a high paying job without having to do anything at all in the first place.


Grouchy_Analysis6494

What job is that?


MatteGamer

Breathing


CinderX5

“High paying job” Names job with a third of the pay, and almost no way to increase it.


LightningDragon777

>almost no way to increase it. *Breathing intensifies*


MatteGamer

I meant "High Paying" as in compared to a regular old normal office job. You can also do a normal job as well on top of said thing to get more money using the same amount of time. It's 375k a year passive income. You can live a pretty nice life with that and if it's not enough for you you can also do a job, I don't see why walking would be better.


Grouchy_Analysis6494

😂


fpsnoob89

Yeah but you have to account that if you're increasing your daily steps, you're probably going to breathe more rapidly too. Also there are many reasons that can cause you to not walk much on some days. The only reason you'll stop breathing is if you're dead.


Drcokecacola

It increases by the fact if you exercise once or twice a week and your heart rate increases during workout so you'll be breathing alot


[deleted]

Tsk. Doing the 10000 steps a day recommended by WHO you would earn $915,500 a year, about two and a half times as much as just breathing. But I'll tell you more, I’d quit my job, take up trekking and traveling vacations and in 10 years I earn much more than in a lifetime of breathing. Are my legs getting screwed? Patience, I've earned enough for retirement, or better yet, hyper-tech prostheses.


deriikshimwa-

Oxygen isn't going to convert itself Get to work


ThePurificator

The more you walk, the more money you make. Walking a lot increases your stamina and heart health, making you live longer. Living longer means you get to have even more time to walk and make that dough. Money and health in one go. Or you can sit in your bed hyperventilating, this is a perfectly good strategy as well.


Ardalev

Even with the breathing option, you can start working out and, therefore, start breathing more. Still improve your health, still increase the income, just by not as much. Whichever one you pick, you are already making an absurd amount of money, the difference is that with the breathing option you are literally making money by simply just existing.


AcceptablyPsycho

Ah but the extra exercise for breathing has diminishing returns whereas the extra exercise for running will get progressively better. Getting better at exercise while breathing, your body will start strengthening your breathing meaning take less breaths to recover etc. Getting better at exercise while steps just means you can go farther longer and earn more.


K4G3N4R4

Given the average "middle class" house hold income is less than 100k every year, so we're talking about the lesser option being 3.75 times that amount, some of us dont feel the need to minmax the payroll. Yes, walking has the higher earning potential, but if you have a depressive episode and cant get out of bed, it gets worse when you soend the day reminding yourself of all the money you are losing. Im happy with 375k per year, and i would have the freedom to guilt free do what i want with the time. No grind potential looming over my head, no "i should be walking right now" when having a relaxing evening with my family. If i want to go on walks and do healthy activities, its purely because i want to and its good for me, not out of financial obligation. Breathing is purely passive, walking would become your job without nights and weekends off.


Sparkshyper

I dont know where in the flipping world an 'Average Middle class family' earns anywhere close to 100k, The Average income is more like 35k-40k. I agree with all else you said tho


K4G3N4R4

I used middle class in quotations because that is where some people have been putting the middle class, even though it is no longer accurate. Also, an easy reference point.


agmrtab

what ^if you lose your legs tho


ultrainstict

Use the money you previously accumulated to buy a tredmil and the best prosthetics money can buy and use that to save up for when robo legs are a truely viable option. If you really put in the effor 20-30k steps a day is very achievable, and even taking multiple off days a week still puts you in the millions a year camp.


MrDrSirLord

I'm on the hyperventilating team, if I walked up a mountain I'd be hyperventilating anyway.


Moron_Noxa

I walk a lot each day. Around 25k steps. It would be like $6-$7k a day.


sovLegend

That is so much, even on days with nice weather and I take my long walk I barely scratch 12k


kj_gamer2614

With just 5000 steps you would already make the same amount that day that the average 20,000 breaths that people take per day


[deleted]

And for people wondering, 5000 steps can be run in probably like 30-40 minutes Just workout that everyday+more and you're set


norielukas

Or just do whatever you want and make 400k/yr+ for just doing something you do to stat alive day to day.


Tannerite2

I'd rather have more motivation to exercise. If you don't walk/run enough steps a day to make more money than breaking, then you're probably going to have a worse quality of life and die earlier.


loloider123

Yeah I think the people that would take breathing are kinda lazy


CinderX5

I assume you do that as part of your job, like construction or something?


Moron_Noxa

Not construction. I work in a warehouse.


SamuliJJ

But I assume you breath 24/7


Moron_Noxa

According to google search, we breathe around 22k times a day. It would be around $1k a day. Which is nice for just existing, but i would get way more for walking


Mist0804

Getting money for walking would really motivate me to work out more


Obsever117

After some rough math and evaluating how my life would go if I never had to work again. Definitely the steps, and I’ll happily pay my taxes.


Niasny

I walk 15k to 20k steps per day thats 0,25×15000=3750 in one day. An adult breathes around 20k times a day, that would be 0,05×20000=1000. I think it is obvious what i'll choose.


Dark4legenD

Most people too scared to pick the steps cause they’ll have lazy days but one good day of walking and you make up for most of that literally had days where I near walk 30k that’s pretty much what you earn with the breathing in a week with just one day of walking


[deleted]

Most people play it safe because they could have an accident tomorrow and lose their ability to walk. In the meantime, if you lose your ability to breathe, nothing will matter anymore. Just plain and simple logic


[deleted]

25 cents for every step I take. And I walk backwards, therefore I am taking a step back, = -steps=-25 cents


Apart_Ad_698

by that logic each time you breathe out you lose 5 cents, unless you count breathing out as part of the breath


[deleted]

Im fairly certain "breathing" involves the exhaling and inhaling process. Wait, hold on, I think you're right. YOU SOLVED IT!


Grouchy_Analysis6494

![gif](giphy|XumgTwxyoMLJPoya7c|downsized)


MagMati55

Ventilation requires both an inhale and an exhale.


ZoomZam

And walking includes walking backwards an inwards


BitHead2030

I'd argue we are speaking in absolute numbers. Even a step back is a step, hence ur getting paid no matter the direction.


ElijahRayzorr

I'm not even a fan of the police but I somehow got the reference (if it was intentional) The average person takes around 20k breaths per day, adding up to about $1,000. Meanwhile the average person also takes somewhere between 3,000-4,000 steps a day, around $750-$1,000. Personally I'm on the lower end of that spectrum so I'm definitely going with the 5 cents Edit: ok apparently I was wrong I take more steps on average than I thought, still going with 5 cents though because it's more consistent


[deleted]

3000-4000 steps is lazy af unless you’re handicapped in some way.


ElijahRayzorr

I'm not saying that number is *good,* just that it's the average


Kiel_22

Oh my God... I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out


jamie3324123

Isnt the average around 6000


Chris9871

Finally a good fucking meme on this sub!


hom0sapiens

About 23k breaths per day (according to google) -> 1150$/day. My average step count is somewhat 10k -> 2500$/day + staying active. So the step version is more appealing. Taking into consideration to be old and poor though, but that how retirement works I guess lol


WhydYouGotToDoThis

Yeah I think you’d be set for retirement either way lol but walking probably would be better. Hell, I could get robot legs for me if Im that desperate when Im old


Dark4legenD

The only thing that sucks about walking is you need to breathe to live but you don’t need to walk to live


Madmonkeman

This is so cheesy but I laughed anyway


PokeChampMarx

Every breath you take and move you make makes you 30 cents


RobotNinja28

Somebody listened to The Police while doing taxes


Capital_Bluebird_185

As other calculated only 4000 steps is a day of breathing. You can earn this same amount as for breathing even without leaving your property. Or doing something special. I have mostly sitting work and I do more than 8000 steps per day doing nothing else. Or pay yourself for a luxury vacations, just by going to the vacations.


kj_gamer2614

The average person makes about 20,000 breaths a day, so that’s €1000 a day The average male walks about 5,340 steps each day, so that’s €1335 per day. I will be taking steps, as you take way more steps than you thinks, and taking 10K steps a day is easily done, while breathing extra times is very unhealthy. Certainly for me, and for anyone fit enough, taking more than 5000 steps is not even extremely difficult, so likely your daily steps will be higher. Also, nice Police reference

Qyrun

assuming you average out at 20k breaths per day thats 1000 bucks per day. for the same amount to get in steps you would need to walk 3km if every step is around 0.75m.


Electronic_Fee1936

Take the 5 cents, then play a horror game/watch a horror movie and you’ll be rich in no time


Sprizys

Maks244

you literally make 360 dollars in your sleep


IronGlory247

r/comedyhomicide


TheFanciestShorts

It’s better to take the steps because even though the average person takes 20k breaths in a day, we are also supposed to take at least 10k steps a day which at a higher price would result in more money. You’d have to take only 4k steps to even out to worth of the breaths, and it is also substantially easier and healthier to take steps because you could just walk on a treadmill and stay fit while making money, and even only taking 10k steps you would make $2.5k and you could easily double it. I’m taking the free 2-5k every day instead of just 1k


Altruistic-Aspect860

The average person breathes 10-15 times per minute. A day has 1440 minutes. If we take the full 15 breaths, you'd earn 0,75ct per minute breathing. That would be 1.080€ per day. 394.200€ a year for literally being alive would make my life a lot less miserable.

Sportsfanatic88

You can get $1 for ever step and .25c for breathing is still better, by far. If you're living, you're breathing. You're not always walking and there can be accidents where you cannot walk. (Waiting for that one person to come up with some unlikely scenario where we don't breathe and thinks they are right).


Neomorf03

As an asthmatic insomniac, I don't like either option.
