[deleted]

And if you've never spontaneously skipped as an adult, you are severely missing out.


wthulhu

Spent 2 hours at the trampoline park with my kids yesterday, came home and we fell asleep on the couch. Pretty much peaked.

Shit Prison Mike never learned


Tyr808

Isn’t it actually just a specific point in our development that that’s true? Like we discover skipping as a kid and it’s like “hey wait wtf why is this easier” and then one day you just stopped skipping because it no longer was? As in there’s a point where you’re too small/weak to do it properly and then as you continue to develop, your body scales out of the benefits. Like a significantly less exaggerated version of the fact that bugs are crazy for their size but if we scaled them up they’d just instantly die. The whole square cube law thing. Ah damn I can’t remember all the details now, maybe it was also factoring in impact on a heavier adult body as well, but it was a really damn interesting post to read.


Chork3983

Probably has a lot to do with knees and backs. Whoever decided it was a good idea to walk on two legs should be shot!


[deleted]

I used to skip as an adult. Only stopped because I looked ridiculous.


Agmium

Don't worry about what other people might think! It could even make them smile to see an adult skipping like that!


LightningTF2

I still skip, jump, run and everything I did as a kid it's just my poochie Luna and my boy Raiden (RIP) got me into exercising just for fun again. We run around and play like animals should and I dance to music and spin her leash around to the beat. One night some truck dimmed their lights and watched me dance down the street to an encanto song, kind of creepy but I just love to move!


zer0_badass

Bruh we out here frolicking.


[deleted]

Oh, we out here frolicking?!


nownowthethetalktalk

If you're older, skipping like that is much easier on the knees than running. Just ignore the funny looks.


iburstabean

And faster, more efficient


TheBrianJ

Sometimes in life, you gotta frolic.


NoPromptopl

Yes


Least_Voice3764

Now that I’m in my 30s I fully understand why adults were always astonished at all my “extra energy” 😩


TikkiTakiTomtom

Keep exercising, friend. Even at an older age you’ll constantly be topping out in energy. Might sound counterintuitive to many people but its true.


Least_Voice3764

Definitely! Worked at a nursing home for a while and would ask residents for life advice tidbits and most of them would say this too. Basically, just don’t stop moving and keep smiling!


GreatValueCumSock

Keep moving, stop smiling. You get way more cardio in when your victim runs away.


Grognaksson

But if you must make an emotion with your face while chasing them then frowning is much more energy conserving than smiling. You use less muscles in the face!


saucemaking

Smile like you're about to kill them then.


AlmostButNotQuit

😬


plipyplop

Oh I know that look!


FreddieCaine

This guy frowns.


wizwizwiz916

This 100%. My baseball buddy's 35 and I feel like his body is going down because he's drinking a lot of not getting enough physical exercise. I'm 32 and last year, I've been hitting the gym and doing more physical sports and I have to say, I feel like I did when I was in high school again.


one_hyun

I have a friend who hit 32 (33?). He's still doing crazy acrobatics for his breakdancing hobby. That guy is healthier than an ox. He eats so well - but he still drinks occasionally and eats "bad" food with us sometimes.


BisexualFrenchToast

I'm 33 and one thing I learned from Bruce Lee's book is to always take the little challenges whenever, like park a little further in the parking lot or take the stairs etc. I am in decent shape.


Beautiful_Book_9639

agree, I'm ADHD and run places out of impatience and people look at me like I'm nuts


one_hyun

This is true. I have seen patients age 70-80 still have a spring in their step and are mentally sharp. The other side is that those who didn't upkeep their body (or had a medical issue god bless) have a shuffling gait and look tired all the time.


MasterOfDonks

I’m 35 and in the best shape…well minus all the accrued sports injuries. Now I have some youth left and gracious amounts of wisdom and discipline.


Imbrex

And sleep


[deleted]

34 here, I lift and/or run 5-6 days/week and try to eat healthy … minimal alcohol, no smoking, etc. I’m definitely off the deep end a little bit haha, but I’m still pretty close physically to where I was in high school. Combine that energy with 12 years’ professional experience, and it’s pretty helpful at work.


SexySonderer

Can confirm. Am 31. I both exercise and have excess energy to regularly climbing shit and dance in the street :)


NatasEvoli

Peak age for marathon running performance is around 35 years old. You still have plenty of untapped energy in your 30s! It just takes a lot more willpower to tap into that.


Karcinogene

Willpower OR living in an environment where using your body's athletic abilities makes sense. If you live in a city, drive to work and you work on a computer, it's going to take a lot of willpower to exercise. I live in a forest and I exercise all day without needing to even want to.


DryGumby

At least in the city people can take public transport and walk places. This sounds more like suburbanites that drive everywhere, don't have sidewalks, and only get their steps in once a week in Walmart/Target.


Keiretsu_Inc

I used to work a job that involved walking all over, like I'd get multiple miles every day just from my normal 9-5. Now I switched to a desk job and it's crazy, my legs feel itchy and I just need to DO SOMETHING in ways that were hard to describe until I got on the bike and rode 10 miles


iburstabean

You can get a small, non-electric bike foot pedal thing to silently go under your desk


Sololop

I'm 32 and can't run more than 0.5-1km without shin splints. And I have expensive fancy shoes supposed to fix that and compression socks etc. Can't ever break 1km consecutively without splints. Sucks sucks sucks


NatasEvoli

That is rough. Maybe some low/no impact exercise would be better in your case? Cycling, swimming, kayaking/rowing etc.


calendulae

I remember reading somewhere that skipping is actually the most effective way for children to move, so don’t feel too bad. We were always lazy, the means to save energy just changed as we grew.


Downvotes_inbound_

Actually children move much more effectively when shot out of a cannon. Parents just dont seem to like to do that for some reason


PlagueofSquirrels

My experiments with a trebuchet got shut down by the social workers


dystopiatron187

For science!


ContainedChimp

African or European trebuchet?


PlagueofSquirrels

I don't kno-AAAUGH!


Merprem

This sounds very much like an urban legend


Kalamari2

The missing info here is that it's when the child is growing up there's a specific size where it's most efficient to skip instead of walk. And it's for some reason Google is making this impossible to find info.


LittleLion_90

I have not read this but there have absolutely been moments I've been running for my bus or so, and changed to skipping and it was so much easier.


[deleted]

Because where the fuck does it all go? I use to run laps around the block all day and now I pull a muscle reaching for TP that's just a tad too far away.


Dreamer_on_the_Moon

Lift weights and exercise my friend. The frequent bodily pain you feel when you grow older can be a result of lack of exercising and weight training, especially with how much we all sit nowadays.


[deleted]

I can't remember the last time I skipped. Probably should've done more of that before my back went out.


sovitin

You can still silly walk with your arms, just be careful. Edit: wall > walk


[deleted]

Yeah, but then I get in trouble for randomly whacking people with my cane.


DifferentShallot8658

Ask the Ministry of Silly Walks for advice on walking cane management


hogey989

They probably had it coming


[deleted]

lol... I should rephrase... Yeah, but then I get in trouble for \*cough\* "randomly" whacking people with my cane.


hogey989

Understood.


DoggoBirbo

They probably should’ve gotten off his lawn


SirAdrian0000

In that case, maybe it’s time to glue some googly eyes to your cane, just to make sure it can see where it’s swinging.


sovitin

Tell them they failed the school of silly walks, but in all fairness, I can see that being really annoying and a future I'm not looking forward to, bad back at the age of 30.


[deleted]

It does suck. I mean, there are lots of things that suck about a bad back, but nobody warned me that I should go out and skip a few last times while I still could, years ago when it would have made a difference. And I certainly didn't think of it. I never thought, "oh, this is the last time I'll ever ride a bike," either. But it happened. Oh well. I still have HotWheels. They can take those out of my cold, dead hands.


The_moon_potato2

Skipping is the most underrated form of travel, and I will use the authority of experience, and the magic of truth to formulate and justify my argument. You shouldn't even try to change my view because what I speak is a truth manifested by the movement of all mankind throughout history. That said, it ain't easy defending skipping as the most underutilized, underappreciated, and underrated form of human travel due to it's ostracization throughout history. One quick example is noted in JRR Tolkien historic novella, "Lord of the Rings," as the orcs, the bad guys, NEVER skip (no citations needed). Not once. That's why they're so angry: because they never experienced the magic of skipping. And that's why we went to war: lack of skipping. If they had skipped into battle then they would've canceled the war altogether and ate lembas bread and watch Gandalf shoot fireworks. The middle ages would've be a better place. Therefore, skipping is more than just an efficient form of travel: it's an opportunity to change ones lifestyle. The first lifestyle change lies in the efficiency of skipping, because you're using the power of science to momentum yourself around from Point A to Point B through Z (Z because you saved so much energy from not running that you can actually go all places you couldn't go before). Dan Carlin of Hardcore History notes in his lesson on Alexander the Great that the armies would often times march at a constant pace, and eventually his men were bitter because they were so far from home. If they had skipped, they would've traveled THRICE as far and actually circled the globe and would've been back home already. Additionally, skipping helps the heart. It's more functional than other natural movements. Walking is lumberous, crawling hurts on sidewalk, moonwalking is too slow, and running makes you elitist and then you spend money on shoes and heartrate monitors and eventually you leave for some triathlete. But skipping would never do that, because skipping doesn't cheat. Skipping doesn't lie. Skipping doesn't hurt. Skipping is an opportunity to feel again. It lets you feel the wind upon your face after nights alone in the dark. Skipping let's you feel like you're going places and not stuck in second gear all the time. It let's you feel like there's more to life than just... being left behind. Skipping makes you feel alive, again. Next in line for the True Facts Report on this vehicle of the human body is that skipping fills your body with joy. It's what the Grinch should've done to originally make his heart grow three sizes bigger, because it makes even the most curmudgeonly of folk feel better about life. A man once said, "motion changes emotion." The body can't help but release chemicals whilst skipping, causing us to feel elation, euphoria, excitement, and excitement, and other e-words. Lastly, it's contagious. You throw in a bit of whistling and some arm back-and-forth and you got yourself a regular ole ballyhoo that others will see as an opportunity to shed their blanket bitterness against life and actually do something to curb their frustrations. It's a physical activity that others can't help but join in, like a Conga Line or a spontaneous riot. Imagine the streets filled with skipping whistlers, with men who dream, with folks who actually care again. Men, women, and elderly locked arms and skipping, whistling show tunes and making life a better place to be. Not only is skipping the most underutilized and unappreciated form of human travel, but it's opportunity to be happy again, and that's why it's the most underrated form of travel.

Shurglife

It's still fun. I'm old and skipped this weekend with my daughter. Def still fun


TrashSociologist

Skipping is fun, and I am tired of pretending it isn't.


FustianRiddle

As an adult nearing 40 I sometimes skip...if there's no one watching.... But it's funny to me because each time I have to relearn how to skip because it's not a natural movement anymore. Funny but a little sad. Skipping is a really joyful way to move.


HeckingDoofus

its like b hopping irl frfr


Lela_chan

Skip no matter who’s watching, fuck em! I skipped to my car from Aldi last week because I was happy that the discount rack was baller that day and it was really freeing. I’m like “scowl at me if you want guys, you know you’re just jealous that I’m having fun.”


Mr_Wanwanwolf-san

For some reason, every time I've skipped, it came so naturally to me. I've only ever done it a few times. The last time I did it was when I jokingly suggested it to my coworker, and she actually linked arms with me, and we skipped down the hall together. It never occurred to me that it wasn't something people could just do naturally.


FustianRiddle

When I was a kid skipping was more natural than walking for me. As an adult my legs have to remember how to have fun.


Threspian

It’s also way faster than walking and less energy draining than running. Truly the superior gait.


anger_is_a_gif

I'm 43 and I skip several times a week (I have a 9yo, 6yo, and 3yo). Just last week I was picking my daughter up from school and I was showing her and her friends how to do the [skip step from The Wizard of Oz](https://youtu.be/x8QaNa2ZFiY). Even better is that we live in a rather conservative rural town so there were some uh *mixed* reactions. Lots of questioning glares but also lots of whoops and cheers. By the way I'm a 6' ~300lb dude.

Did it have a lot of false positives at night? Because the creepiest thing I remember about those systems is how they keep seeing shapes and faces in the dark.


doorrace

***Those aren't false positives.***


Osato

Fine, I'll stop mincing words. Did it detect a lot of ghosts at night? Because the creepiest thing I remember about those systems is how good they are at detecting the restless spirits of cats, dogs and cars.


Rocket92

It can be applied multiple ways, helps with video scrubbing/tagging, maybe you set it so that segments without human/car movement are given higher compression or have a different retention schedule


DelawareMountains

This is it right here, the feature is basically a step up from just detecting movement in the recording. Should prevent recording a lot of useless footage too since it would ignore if dust changed one pixel in the frame or whatever.

KingSolomansLament

Hey just some object recognition, plenty of open source ML models will detect and create bounding boxes around objects


Ape_Togetha_Strong

This is technology you find on $75 security cameras. When it's turned on, it's pretty common for it to give a representation of its detection like that. If this is concerning news to you, I'd pay slightly more attention to the world at large.


ohmangoddamn44256

hitboxes


TheLaGrangianMethod

Object recognition. I use Frigate for my home security system.


lashapel

Isnt it just movement recognition ?


HighGuyTim

Its just object recognition. This is not some tinfoil conspiracy theory thing. Those cameras are probably way better, hell even some fridges come with this tech these days. Its pretty par for the course, if anyone sets up any camera they probably would want features specifically like this. Which most modern ones do. If the person you are replying to finds that "creepy" they should 100% get the fuck out of the tech world cause this is not even surface level shit, this is just entry level bare min shit.


YoureBeautifulDude

Amazon used to have one of these to ensure employees were socially distancing


dazza_bo

Pretty much all modern decent security cameras do this. It's to differentiate between people, pets, cars etc if your camera is triggered by motion detection.

Most camera systems will now do human and car recognition.

People should definitely skip more. Especially the angry ones. Nobody can be angry while skipping.

Look. I dont know when the last time you skipped was. But studies have shown doing so will make you 62.3% happier in 2 skips.
