What if we could just lay in a pod 24/7 taking peptides and nutrient supplements while having an endless stream of instagram reals beamed in to our eyeballs on our Meta Raybans. That way we would never have to do pesky things like go outside or move.

On the other hand, a pill to replace all the un-fun activity needed to stay in shape while having a family and office job would let you enjoy fun activity a lot more, and want to do those things more often, since they’re all more-fun and safer if you’re already in shape.

  • People in good shape don't hate exercise.

    • Plenty of them hate at least some of it!

      Source: have spent years at a stretch in pretty great shape. I definitely hated a good amount of what I had to do to achieve and maintain that. Disliked the activity, or simply would rather have been doing something else. But, lots of other stuff (including pretty much all other physical activity) is way more fun if you're at least somewhat in-shape.

  • I legit love the gym, if I couldn't go anymore I don't know what I would do with my time, that's my only hobby.

  • exactly.

    leave it to a forum mostly populated with software developers to have the most hyperbolic takes.
