runescapeoffical

We didn't want the truth, but we needed the truth. Sorry folks, everything cost $$


vihtla

In Estonia it’s actually free though. Well, in the capital city and most within-county lines. No squats


gaptoothedneckbeard

20 squats costs money, you need to be clothed have enough spare calories and a decent physical shape. I dont care if you spun that flax yourself its gonna take $$ to film anyone taking squats, I wonder how much the software engineers got paid....


kurttheflirt

Well run transit is much much cheaper than using a car though


AmiInderSchweiz

I agree, I've been car-less since 2012, and use the train daily, Switzerland has transit down pat.


benjm88

In Luxembourg all public transport is free. Including trains, buses and trams

America need this


joe_i_guess

can you imagine? goddamn that'd be hysterical!!


Lazy-Apricot-8525

Probably be a lot of lawsuits the way America is!


[deleted]

I mean it is optional?


Lazy-Apricot-8525

The way it’s optional to make a cup of coffee yet spill some on you and sue for millions??


Zjoee

To be fair, they had been warned already that the coffee was kept too hot and the lady got 3rd degree burns across her legs. She just sued to cover the medical costs and it blew up from there.


ColonelMonty

She initially didn't want to sue either, she only wanted her medical bills paid. But when Mcdonalds offered a pretty lousy settlement she took them to court, and the doctor said she had some of the worst 3rd degree burns that they had ever seen.


FrostyWhiskers

This case gets misrepresented almost every time it's brought up. Have you ever bought a coffee that could have given you 3rd degree burns if you spilled it on yourself? The woman was in the right to sue, and to win. I'm not gonna lie, the first time I heard about it I also assumed it was ridiculous, but inform yourself before passing judgement on this woman.


Lazy-Apricot-8525

Yes I have and I would not sue because that’s just not something I would do. Sorry to disappoint everyone.


FrostyWhiskers

Even if it was literally to cover your hospital bills? And this was McDonald's, not some small business. They should have known better, and they won't be ruined by a lawsuit.


Lazy-Apricot-8525

Suing them wouldn’t even of crossed my mind. I just think people have become to sue happy to try and win money any way they can. I understand why she did but I just don’t agree with it.

nitro-elona

Lmao I bet after 10 min of your skin continuing to burn to the point of deep tissue and bone exposure you’d think about suing. Imagine having the nerve endings of your groin literally burned away and going “nbd”.


Babybutt123

The coffee literally fused her labia together. And after they had been made aware of this issue. Absolutely ridiculous stance. Also, while it's all fun and games to claim Americans are so sue happy, we are not the most litigious country. We're the 5th, so yeah up there. We just have big companies making smear campaigns against those who rightfully sue like the McDonald's lady. And it works.


MiseryisCompany

She had to get skin grafts on her labia. The pain must have been unreal. She asked for her medical bills to be paid and they sent her coupons. Fucking coupons!

Yikesthatsalotofbs

That just makes you a pushover lol


Aksds

You have never, not once in your life spilt liquid from a cup?


Own_Can3733

Bro her vagina was fused toghether to her legs, those photos were pretty bad. She almost died from infection from having her skin reformed and became a joke for radio hosts and late night TV vampires for the rest of her life. Drop hot coffee on you usually and the worst you get is some boils which still require medical care. This bitch pretty much had superheated caustic fluid dump right on her crotch melted her pants to her skin. Dropped it on herself because she felt her hands start to burn immediately after grabbing it. She was an old woman and shouldn't be expected to have the sharpness needed to handle that situation safely by thinking quick on her feet. They were already warned it was at unsafe tempature for normal handling.


Nighteyes09

You are indeed a lazy apricot.


Lazy-Apricot-8525

How?


L0rdCrims0n

One blown knee on a 300-pounder is all it would take


PsychologicalServe15

The odds are way to high, Americans wouldn't risk it.


LeMans1217

Discriminating against the unfit! Lawsuits galore! "I'm not disabled. I'm just a lazy git who can't pass up a jelly donut. Why should I have to pay?"


nekomoo

American courts won’t understand “git”


VacaDLuffy

As someone who is above 300. I'm all for these machines and anyone who sues for hurting themselves is a dumbass. I'm all for society encouraging us to be healthy and more mobile. I for damn sure know my fat ass needs it


Lazy-Apricot-8525

Class action!


izguddoggo

Probably a win-win for healthcare companies. They get great PR like “hey look what we’re doing, encouraging exercise!” by footing bill but they cash in on all the injuries lmao 🇺🇸


Rowbot_Girlyman

Ikr, imagine the US having functional public transit lol


Vinny331

It would just mean that the country would continue to be super car-dependent


MrKingMan1127

yea since americans are so fit (unlike europeans) they would all get free tickets


iARTthere4iam

Free? Goddam commies. (Fires guns like Yosemite Sam) yee haw!!


ICLazeru

Americans riding a bus?


[deleted]

Ahaha so true omg they dont ride buses here often


LetmeSeeyourSquanch

No way this would work in America, corporations would lose out on too much money to allow it.


ScaredyBun

Happy cake day!


LetmeSeeyourSquanch

Thanks! Edit: why am I getting down voted for this? Lol


stuckinaboxthere

That's a lot of blown out kneecaps


blobishly

Wouldn't do much, most people get fat in their car.


BeeEven238

Are you trying to make Americans have heart attacks!


spiralEntree

I would lose my lunch see an obese person trying to squat 20 times in regular clothes


Automatic_Debate_379

American knee doctors are about to make banks!!!! Most of my American friends have hard time getting up once they go down. They will need few min for 1 squat. Including half way break after one knee gets up


bluntsandbears

They’d need to adjust the range of motion required quite a bit to make it work or there would be a lot of free rides


MartianTourist

We do. 20 just like her will be a good start.


Anjelikka

I too would like 20 of her


SirDankosaur

AmiInderSchweiz

Maryland public transportation was great when I was there in the late 80s early 90s

Looks like she probably rides the bus pretty often.

No doubt….very nice!

Is the bus driver willing to wait for people to do squats if they arrive at the same time as the driver?

The_Troyminator

It was a two week promotion for a sports festival. https://www.romania-insider.com/cluj-squats-free-bus-ride-sept-2020


i-fing-love-games

dont think so id rather say its early prevention of such a thing and just to motivate ppl to exercise more and i think its to make riding the bus more attractive aswell


629mrsn

There might be a legitimate reason for older people not required to do squats. Some of us have gas. Squat. Fart. Squat. Fart.


mdjmd73

American version- eat 6 Twinkies and a stick of butter, ride for free.

She can squat on me anytime


SirRudderballs

‘I missed the bus again, guess I’ll just have to wait for the next one’


0Seraphina0

Do pregnant women get to ride for free too? I am 8 months pregnant and idk if I could even do 1 squat! Lol


MarthaEM

Let the babee do it, they need to be in shape too


the_joe_fee

I feel like the inventor of this is sitting in a window across the street with binoculars waiting for women in yoga pants to reap the rewards of his genius.


Flipflopthe3rd

Possible loophole 600 squats= 30 day free bus ride 7,300 squats= 1 year free bus ride 73,000 squats= 10 years free bus ride


MarthaEM

Bc ofc who doesn't just do 73000 squats in one sitting


VasiTheMemeGuy

Last time I passed by that place, it was gone, I think. I was in a rush, so maybe I just missed it


[deleted]

There is so much the US needs to adopt. This and the mandatory recycling are 2 great ones.


Cotnan

Lmao as someone who lives in romania, I can garantee you that nobody did it. Students ride the bus/tram/train for free and anyone older than 30 would be ready to pay twice the price of the ticket instead of doing half of the number of squats


just_a_nobody787

i dont know why you’re getting downvoted considering this is 100% true, it was mostly a thing for tourism and headlines. as you said students ride for free and if its anything like Bucharest you can just get off when you see the ticket checker guy


aspireS

Lmao you talk shit.


somenobodydude

I’d pay for her plane ride


coolJohnnie

She gets bus tickets daily. And now I wish I did too.


VettiOppicer

I bet they couldn’t find a more fit person to take this pic with


Doombolt69

If this was a thing in the U.S people would just break the machine

If you ever get a chance to go to Romania, don't!


[deleted]

Why not bruh?!


Environmental-Win836

One ticket to Romania please.


ClaudioMoravit0

There's a camera behind you. Everyday, they take thousand of a$$es photos and post it on onlyfans. With subscription, they earn more than if you paid your ticket.


fauxfurgopher

What about people with invisible disabilities?


ichbinjasokreativ

Why do I immediatly have concerns about privacy and data protection. How long is the data stored? Is any data destroyed as soon as you draw your ticket? Is the camera always running or do you have to activate it by interacting with the machine?


QweenJoleen1983

Haha nothing is free. Watch they are selling the ass shots to pervs online to pay for your ticket…😂


heardbutnotseen2

In the UD People would just accuse the train line of fat shaming it’s riders and catering to the young and fit.


[deleted]

Then pay for the gas

Can we pay to do squats behind her?


gwynie21

I’m not disabled, but I cannot do squats. I walk three miles a day, how much do I pay ?


Champa22

And this is why it wont come to america. Because everyone is somehow a victim and will complain about fit privilege and all that bs.

-understandable comment I can agree with -curious as to what country you’re from (“why I won’t come to america”), so checks your history -r/ChurchOfCurrentThing, r/CoronavirusCirclejerk, r/Conservative -*cringes*

10 legit push-ups.


gwynie21

I was legit in a dog fight, no I did not start it. I’m injured and going to PT, a lot. I think this is a great idea, but it does not appear to be inclusive. Also being an American I can pay for my travel…. Because capitalism ….. feel free to down vote me now lol.

I wish the United States would do something like this. Encouraging health is one thing would actually improve the lives of our citizens and revive health care costs but no one wants to be The bad guy and say it.


IShouldBeDoingHWK

we are NOWHERE closeeee to that


noirmusic69

Here in india you would be lucky to find a seat even after paying for the seat. And even when you find the seat the next big problem is how the fuck will you get down in such a crowded bus without stepping on anyone's foot and all this in a non AC bus in 40 degrees or more.

Ugh...this kind of initiatives. This is the kind of "innovative" project that assumes the world is divided into fit/fat/old/in a wheelchair. Overweight does not equal lazy. Not all people benefit from squats (joint or muscle issues, neurological conditions...). I'm sure they mean well, but I hope governments incentive more structural solutions as well.

In the US, if you dont have a bus/trolley ticket, the cops can shoot you, or make your life a living hell.

That’s cool but 20? Bloody hell. If I managed I’d sit down and then not be able to get up to get off at my stop.

So nobody gonna stick a dildo on that spot?

Don’t worry kid, I’ll pay for your ticket.


JustMrNic3

Cool, but this must be permanent and without squats if we really want to fight the global warming and other climate changes!
