That is one thing I noticed on a recent trip to Europe, there weren’t that many joggers. In most major cities on the US, especially in parks and scenic places, you’ll see a fair amount of joggers, but didn’t really see any in Europe besides barcelona.
It seems in America were either training for a marathon or a hot dog eating competition.
I mean, why jog when you already walk everywhere?
That’s not really true. I’m in Europe and saw around 5 joggers on my way to work this morning. I see multiple packs of twenty going past my house at weekends
The big difference between the US and Europe is probably that joggers are happier running near their houses in Europe and don’t feel the need to drive to a designated safe space for daily training. This makes the big parks a bit emptier.
We’re the best
USA is the third most populated country on Earth. So, expect some variance.
There can be variance in small countries as well. This really has nothing to do with the number of people in a country, but it is a very American comment to think that it is.
I have a feeling you don’t understand statistics. You posted two comments implying population size doesn’t increase the chances of extremes existing. If it’s a 1 in a million chance then tossing one coin is unlikely to have it happen. Tossing several hundred million coins and you expect it to happen many times. A larger population means you’re more likely to see extremes on either end.
Wow. Great insight, thx.
It’s a big country.
Ever so slightly smaller than Europe as a whole, but half as populated.
So you’re saying it’s a big country?
No it’s still two countries with the middle mountainous part being largely empty, east and west coast America are very different.
Dreams stay with you?
Like a lover’s voice fires the mountainside?
guitars that sound like bagpipes
Which has no effect on a claim like this.
Missing information: Has only ever travelled USA.
The fittest men here means the men with the best steroid cycles
I wish Hollywood was more forthright about the use of exogenous anabolic compounds, as they have crafted a body image that is tough to live up to without using steroids, especially for older men. There are a few that are open about it, like Alan Richson, but it is almost never mentioned.
I was watching Steve McQueen in ‘The Getaway.’ When the movie was shot McQueen was one of the most macho he-men in Hollywood. When he took his shirt off he looked like an accountant.
Then I was watching another movie from 2024. The character is supposed to be a sleazy lawyer; a loser who needs to hire hookers. He takes off his shirt and has the abs of a god.
Um… could you point me at some of those accountants you mentioned? 😥
Bitch please.
Mr. Clint Walker has entered the house.
All six feet and nine inches of him.
More than you could handle.
If I die, I die 😑
I remember seeing JK Simmons getting absolutely jacked and being like, WTF?
“Get me in the ring with Spider-Man!”
Yeah this. Actual fitness is not something you can accurately gauge with your eyes.
Unless they mean fit in the british sense
yea, and the most unfit probably just means fat, same problem
Well, yes. The meme is referencing the 4, 5, 600 lb people that live in the US.
Yes, fittest men are in South America. Unfittest men are in North America.
The best food comes from South America too.
We all need an Abuela or Vovó
That’s one thing that shocked me in the USA: people in the streets were either comedically round or comedically ripped, no “a little beer belly”, no “a little sporty”.
Where did you visit, because that’s an uncommon distribution.
Tbh, pretty common in bigger cities in the south. I think it’s more prevalent in areas with fairly severe disparities in wealth.
New Jersey
I’m sorry that happened to you 😞
We’ve got the best fattie’s and the best hottie’s
Take that Europe and Asia
USA! USA! USA!
“Not even close.” reads to me like a negation, i.e. USA has neither the fittest nor the fattest people in daily life.
I think it means that second place isn’t even close. That the margin of ‘victory’ is large.
