The Fun Theory

[Caiyuo]

Aw, even the old guy @1:23 takes the stairs. That was kinda nice.

[Moochi]

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.

What do you mean "may be misleading"? It's obvious looking at the clip that they are not talking about a few people so I don't see where you're getting this from. Besides, these stairs leads down to one of the subway stations in the middle of the city in Stockholm.

Because he wanted to bitch about dumb shit to be contrarian. Despite the fact the video shows a before and after time lapse. OH DEAR GOD NOT THAT

Maybe they'll show another after of when people stopped caring about these piano stairs. Kham was obviously just stating that most other videos like this seem to over exaggerating their "findings"

The stairs would probably be ridiculously annoying at busy times with most of the keys going off all of the time.

Reminds me of the "talking fountain" in one of the terminals at Seatac airport. It was a cool thing at first, and a lot of people would use it just to hear it, but now it is just like any other drinking fountain.

Not sure how cost effective these things would be in the long run, but they are fun to see and neat ideas.

I doubt the people who came up with the idea thought it would be revolutionary. It's just a fun experiment. Besides, the text said 66% more people took the stairs that day. Not for 1 year. I'm sure they are well aware the fun wouldn't last forever.

I'm pretty sure they know it wont last as well. People will always flock to something that is new then get tired of it. There's no real situation that going to make people want to throw their trash away properly, take the stairs, or recycle because people will be people, that's the real sad part.

We get that it's sad, it's more interesting than anything else for the commentary it provides without having to say it out loud. Thanks for the heads up, Freud.

Interesting maybe, but showing us something we all really know+wasting money in the process and changing nothing= cool I guess

This coming from someone who plays MMO's.

[wipers]

I don't think Sigmund Freud would appreciate people using the stairs. He would probably say that stairs represent hidden sexual frustrations. By using escalators (shows we are lazy and) we satisfy the Id and the Ego returns in kind with "I feel good about myself". The super ego is not involved it is debating if watching porn is considered cheating.

[Khamsin]

Using the escalators = masturbation?

Yeah playing MMO's and preaching the good word of improving human nature..

Those motherfuckers for trying something new and inventive and creating ways to get people to at least pay attention to their environment and not taking the mundane for granted.

WHAT A BUNCH OF UNORIGINAL ASSHOLES LET'S BE BLASÉ ABOUT THE WHOLE THING




This is what you're getting all angsty and worked up over. I applaud them for the concept and insight and you're belittling them for the novelty and presentation.

What are you a 6 year old calling bullshit on everything you see because you can't grasp any more than what's on the surface?

[Valkrish]

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.

I always break the rule to that- I always use the stairs when I am in washington- no matter how high they are.

You lazy bastards \(`A')b

Yeah I am a petty 6 year who is spiteful to everyone who has unoriginal ideas. However did you know? As I said earlier there concepts are interesting but the idea of man ever becoming what they want them to wont happen and it's ignorant for anyone believe otherwise.

Ya because we all still live in huts and worship the thunder god. Ignorance was the word you used, right? Right.

Because worth ethic and morality haven't decreased over time right? Right?

lol do you really want to get into this argument?

I don't know, bud, murdering "witches / warlocks / wizards", pillaging and raping tribes / nations, slavery etc etc. Nah, work ethic and morality haven't improved since the dawn of man.

Yeah because any of those has something to do with throwing away your trash or walking up a flight of stairs. You make a valid argument :D
