Even if you're going to go negative wouldn't social shaming be a way bigger motivator? So an app that posts you missed your workout to your socials to hold you accountable. This is my original startup idea, do not steal.

there's something about nerd brains that makes them particularly vulnerable to the idea that money is the best measurement of intentions / human needs. Like how all the microeconomics skull measurers love to set up betting markets to make people predict the future "with their wallets!!!" or whatever.

That whole "punishment key to exercise" poo poo was discovered a long time ago by the military. That magazine is way the gently caress behind on the times. Make the walls sweat, as we said in cadence in boot.

Yeah. It's a humidity thing. Close the doors and windows, turn the heat up and let your sweat accrue on the wall with the sweat of 50 others.

It's not exclusive to boot camp barracks walls. Anywhere the humidity gets high enough that a bunch of people are sweating their asses off. That could be a sauna in the Rockies or a church in Mississippi. It's just condensation. But working out for hours on end in a barracks hall is a unique way to learn the term, make the walls sweat.

I mean I've lived in humid hell Florida my whole life and have never once seen moist walls, even at the gym, but I guess that's mostly because if you don't have air conditioning here every single manmade object turns into black mold within like 2 weeks

The way the military solves that is by relentlessly cleaning the barracks after a wall sweat session. So you wake up some morning it's too lovely to do exercises outside (I did boot in winter in Kentucky), spend an hour or two exercising inside, get 15-30 minutes to clean yourself up, then you spend the day using bleach and lysol after breakfast. I mean, they obviously have the manpower to clean anyhow.

You military guys ever do butt slides?  You dump out buckets of soapy water on those long rear end barracks hallways then slide (ON YOUR BUTT!!) down the whole thing.

If you want tacky but don't want to leave the US, go to Memphis. They should make a 5g tower in the shape of a cross and swap it out for the one up now. Memphis already has cell towers dressed up to look like trees.

It's next to I-4 and I pass it whenever I have to drive to Orlando. For a while I thought it was just a big cross they made out of tower material (since it's mass produced and can withstand hurricanes) but then I noticed it has a transmitter shelter at the base lmao. e: Oh good someone wrote an article about it https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2020/04/15/whats-inside-that-giant-cross/  I always feel very #inspired and #blessed when I pass it

quote:For an evangelical Christian church like this one, a prominent cross is already an act of communication, a kind of spiritual semaphore. The pastor told me the congregation fully supported the construction of the cross for this reason, but some local residents outside the church telephoned to complain that the money for construction should have gone to feed the hungry instead. From the pastor’s point of view, Verizon’s approaching the church was providential. He quoted a Bible verse—“The children of the world are often wiser than the children of light” (Luke 16:8)—to say that the church has to market itself in order to reach the community. And of course, as he might have added (but did not), the lease provided welcome income. Ahahaha "Look man we could spend this $100k on feeding starving children, or we could erect an enormous cross that we can lease to Verizon" "... and use that money to feed starving children?" "Huh? Oh, uh, sure, whatever."

I do need to add that the Cross Cell Tower has some stiff competition from our other Lord and Savior located a bit further along I-4: I gotta admit it's a hell of a lot more ominous than the cross is, especially at night:  It used to have an internal fiber optic laser system that made the whole thing glow bright purple too, but that hasn't worked in decades.
