The Fun Theory

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

Pretty amazing imo, a little sad too. But fun to watch:

The Fun Theory - DivineCaroline

I like this kind of stuff. It's probably sad because we're surrounded by so much unfun stuff that it effects our personality negatively and we don't get to see many happy faces. When all you see walking down the street is scowls, you tend to forget the humanity of the 'human race'.

[Silenka]

Honestly this is really smart, why isn't this a policy already? At least the bottle bank arcade would get a lot more people recycling in countries that use that sort of thing. America could benefit hugely from the piano steps - unless I'm much mistaking the reluctance of fat people here to do any sort of exercise, which I probably am.

[Nyx]

I always love seeing this stuff, and it's pretty ridiculous how greatly the smallest changes can influence our mundane lives.

[MrW]

Amazing and sad indeed. It's a shame we're all such drones to life lol.

[Khamsin]

They were only used more because it was new and different. If every stairs, recycle and trash bins were like that, people would stop caring before long. And maybe get annoyed with the sounds.

Also, the stairs statistic may be misleading. 66% more people than normal used them. Meaning if, say, 3 people used the stairs before, and now 5 people use them, then 66% more people than normal used them. And it's easy to only show video clips from when people were using them and leave out the rest of the day.

My theory is that it's not the Fun Theory, it's the Different Theory.

My theory is that it's not the Fun Theory, it's the Different Theory.

I have a feeling if every stairwell had these, the effect would diminish. They should leave those steps there, and see what's happening after a month.

[Absolutely Virtue]

It's also worth pointing out that this was in Sweden, and not fat ass America. When the escalators break here the fucking fatties look like they're going to die trying to climb up and even DOWN the stairs.

And for the love of god, the last thing we need is something new to confuse tourists. It's bad enough that they cannot manage to navigate the escalators or staircases when I'm trying to get to work. The minute some dickneck starts jumping up and down the stairs in front of me when I'm on my way to the office, he's getting shoved down the entire fucking flight. If you ask me, they should do away with escalators entirely (and save millions in maintenance costs) and just use stairs, with an elevator for people with disabilities.

But I absolutely do agree about things to break up the monotony and encourage better behavior. I have ideas:

-If you are driving and talking on your cell phone, pedestrians can slash your tires.

-If you spit in public, decent human beings get to hit you in the face with a baseball bat.

-If you walk through a door and don't hold it open for the next person, they get to trip you from behind.

you have some interesting standards regarding social etiquette

[drwaffles]

Wait, the fact that people are more likely to participate in mundane activities if they are made more engaging and stimulating is somehow a revelation?

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

So much angry in this thread. Spitting in public, really? I bet you don't even give people who spit in a public a sideways glance out of fear of getting your ass stomped lol

You just made a whole post of social anxiety projectile diarrheaing in this thread. Bravo.

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

So what normal everyday things would you improve to make more people be decent human beings?

I'd rearrange the laws of physics so that every time someone did some shit to somebody else that they wouldn't like done to themselves it would instantly backfire and they would own themselves.

Golden rule, nigga.


Simple. Everyday. Improvement.

By the way your suggestions were not anger, I liked yours.

[Max™]

I have this incredibly intense urge to push a clown down the piano stairs.

[wipers]

I would have still taken the escalator.

[bechyni]

better title = theory of new shit. I would give it one week maybe two until people went back to their everyday lives of not giving two shits.

[Kaylia]

It's not a good thing, because it will makes every normal stair suck after.

- If you contribute to 3 and a Half Men being the highest rated show on television, the government can bar you from having children.

Is that policy going to be retroactive? Because I'm screwed if so.

[wipers]

It is 2 and a half men. But still anything with Charlie Sheen in it is terrible.
