WOMAN ASKED IF PEOPLE CONSIDER 23 MINUTES A WALKING DISTANCE AND CREATED QUITE A
DEBATE ON TWITTER INTERVIEW


Jurgita Dominauskaitė and
Saulė Tolstych



You never know what random thought posted on Twitter will go viral and cause a
passionate reaction from other people. Twitter users share their opinions on
certain topics or want to hear other people’s opinions to find out if the
majority agrees with them or they should reconsider their beliefs.



One such silly question was shared by Mal, who wanted to know if people feel
that 23 minutes is a walking distance. The thread was filled with passionate
responses and caused quite a divide. Also, the tweet got over 33k likes as it is
an entertaining read, half serious, half trivial.

More info: Twitter


TWITTER USER SPARKED A HEATED DEBATE WHEN SHE ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION SHE DIDN’T
PUT MUCH IMPORTANCE ON: “DO YOU GUYS CONSIDER 23 MINUTES A WALKING DISTANCE?”



Image credits: K-State Research and Extension (not the actual photo)

The person who tweeted the question is Malaika, a 20-year-old media student with
a love for social media living in London. We wanted to know if there was a story
behind the question as it was so specific, so Bored Panda reached out to her.

Turns out, it was more of a mindless tweet with no expectations to get such
serious answers or stirring a debate, “I was thinking of signing up for a gym
and the closest one is a 23 minute walk, so I just tweeted it without thinking
anything of it.”


THE TWEET ATTRACTED A LOT OF ATTENTION AND WAS LIKED BY 33.5K PEOPLE WITH MANY
PEOPLE JOINING THE CHAT

Even though Malaika posted the question just out of curiosity, not wanting to
cause a whole debate, she was surprised to see how many people joined the
conversation.

The student admitted, “I didn’t expect that many responses at all. I muted the
tweet after like 100 quote tweets, so when I looked back to see like 11k quotes
I was shocked. I didn’t expect anyone to be arguing or going back and forth on
the topic either.”

THE COMMENTS WERE DIVIDED AND PEOPLE HAD HEATED OPINIONS



Image credits: tunguz



Image credits: fitzfromdublin

But apparently people got offended and took the matter more seriously, maybe
than they should have. Malaika has no idea why the comments are filled with such
passionate responses: “maybe walking is their passion or something. In my mind I
was like, some of these people need to relax.”



A lot of people thought that Malaika is an American and that is why she thinks
that walking for 23 minutes is too long, because of how dependent Americans are
on their cars. She shared her sentiment about it: “Yeah, it was annoying for
people to assume I’m American. Some of them were bare rude and made assumptions
but that’s just the internet.”

A LOT OF THEM ASSUMED THAT MAL IS AMERICAN AND THAT THEY ALL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
WALKING EVEN SHORT DISTANCES



Image credits: thedigitaldash_

Even though it was an assumption, Americans being too dependent on their cars is
a real issue. According to Brookings, the average commute for an American is
more than 10 miles, so a car is the most convenient means of transportation for
such distances.

The number of cars in the US increased from 96.6 million to 221.4 million in the
span of 13 years (2005-2018), which means there are 25 million cars more on the
road and statistically a household has almost two cars.

BUT OTHERS POINTED OUT THAT IT’S BECAUSE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ISN’T
ADAPTED FOR WALKING



Image credits: anthonytheminty

Bloomberg points out a few reasons why Americans ended up in such a situation.
It all started in the 1930s with mass motorization. While in Europe only the
wealthy had a car and it was a status symbol, for Americans they were more
affordable as they were cheaper because production took place in the US.

It is still more affordable to have a car in the US than in Europe because of
their taxation of car ownership and lower gas prices.

Another reason is that because of mass motorization, the government made sure
that the roads are well taken care of and created convenient infrastructure.
That means their roads are more adapted to individual cars rather than public
transportation, cycling or walking.

SOME OF THEM ALSO MADE A GOOD POINT THAT WALKING IN THE HEART OF A EUROPEAN CITY
ISN’T THE SAME AS ALONGSIDE A BUSY ROAD



Image credits: gregourt



Image credits: tmntallthewaydw



Image credits: dakotawint

The US and Europe also have a different approach to land-use planning. For
example, if a German needs to go to a doctor’s office, they can easily find it
by foot in their residential area, as opposed to the US where they don’t allow
residential areas to have doctors’ offices, cafes, corner stores, or apartment
buildings, so they have to drive everywhere.

You could find even more reasons why Americans resort to going by car instead of
any other means, but it’s just that different parts of the world developed
differently, as Twitter user Bojan Tunguz pointed out. And those factors made
Americans think they have to use their car to go anywhere, while Europeans tend
to walk most of the time. But for Americans it’s not a big deal to commute 100
kilometers, which is very unusual in Europe. It’s a matter of perspective.

SO THE WALKING HABITS WERE FORMED NOT BY THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES, BUT BY WHICH
AREA THEY LIVE IN AND IF IT ALLOWS A MORE CONVENIENT DRIVE OR A WALK



Image credits: walkswdog



Image credits: Elana_Brooklyn

While there were people who defended themselves by saying that it’s possible to
walk to places you need to go if they are so near, others agreed that 23 minutes
is just not a walking distance. Although, in an update tweet, Malaika said she
went on the walk and it wasn’t so bad.

Do you think that 23 minutes is a walking distance, taking into consideration
what condition your roads and sidewalks are in? Also, why do you think people
had such strong opinions while answering the question? Let us know your thoughts
in the comments!

23 minutes is nothing. Of course it is walking distance. That gets me to the
pub. Coming back from the pub, that's more than 23 minutes. And no longer
walking distance.

Exactly. For a healthy person 23m is a tiny walk; I cannot understand how some
people are that lazy. Now, if you are old or ill its different of course. I used
to walk 30-45m each day home and back for school and it was the easiest route.
Now as disabled? 10m is pushing it.

It does depend on where, though. 23 minutes in western Europe? Sure. 23 minutes
under the blazing august sun in Texas? Nope. 23 minutes in -50 in Siberia? Nope.

And 23 going uphill rather than on a plain route? That's very different. 23
minutes when you have only one hour for lunch is a lot, with a car it becomes 5
minutes. 23 minutes in a solitary pourly-lit area? No thank you. All is
relative, in conclusion.

Have you ever been to Texas? Texas in August is the 7th level of hell. It's
still better than Louisiana. The humidity is so bad it's hard to breathe when
you are just sitting.

100% relate to that. Once I went to a birthday party in a pub that was a 15 min
walk away from my house. It took me 2 hours to get back home :)

It depends on my shoes. I have walked 45 minutes to and from work in a job where
I could wear sneakers or walking shoes. If I had to wear dressier loafers I
would not want to go over 15. Pumps, not even 15.

I used to take the bus to the pub, but the bus stopped running by the time I was
done... and I was too cheap to get a cab, so I would walk an hour to get home. I
was typically a happy drunk, so it was a fun walk.

It's not just about where you live and what shoes you're wearing. Do you have 23
minutes to walk each way when the drive would be about five minutes? Do you have
a gaggle of small children to get from point A to point B? Are you lugging
laundry to the laundromat and back, or groceries? What's the weather? Obviously
I would love to take a leisurely stroll alone in the park for 23 minutes on a
lovely day, but that isn't my life.

My friend told me he didn't believe in structural racism until he moved to a
working class outer suburb of Boston that was mostly immigrants and there were
no sidewalks. Also, yesterday I walked 40 minutes because I didn't want to pay
$3 to take the subway, so that's also a factor that needs to be added to this
discussion.

Oh yeah, no sidewalks is a big one. My county deliberately doesn't put sidewalks
in some places bc they want the roads to be 'rural'

Now as disabled? 10m is pushing it.

It does depend on where, though. 23 minutes in western Europe? Sure. 23 minutes
under the blazing august sun in Texas? Nope. 23 minutes in -50 in Siberia? Nope.

And 23 going uphill rather than on a plain route? That's very different. 23
minutes when you have only one hour for lunch is a lot, with a car it becomes 5
minutes. 23 minutes in a solitary pourly-lit area? No thank you. All is
relative, in conclusion.

As if in europe we dont get warm or cold. Do you think that sweden in winter is
much better than texas in summer?

Have you ever been to Texas? Texas in August is the 7th level of hell. It's
still better than Louisiana. The humidity is so bad it's hard to breathe when
you are just sitting.

100% relate to that. Once I went to a birthday party in a pub that was a 15 min
walk away from my house. It took me 2 hours to get back home :)

It depends on my shoes. I have walked 45 minutes to and from work in a job where
I could wear sneakers or walking shoes. If I had to wear dressier loafers I
would not want to go over 15. Pumps, not even 15.

I used to take the bus to the pub, but the bus stopped running by the time I was
done... and I was too cheap to get a cab, so I would walk an hour to get home. I
was typically a happy drunk, so it was a fun walk.

If you walk off some of your drink, you can have more drink.

It's not just about where you live and what shoes you're wearing. Do you have 23
minutes to walk each way when the drive would be about five minutes? Do you have
a gaggle of small children to get from point A to point B? Are you lugging
laundry to the laundromat and back, or groceries? What's the weather? Obviously
I would love to take a leisurely stroll alone in the park for 23 minutes on a
lovely day, but that isn't my life.

My friend told me he didn't believe in structural racism until he moved to a
working class outer suburb of Boston that was mostly immigrants and there were
no sidewalks. Also, yesterday I walked 40 minutes because I didn't want to pay
$3 to take the subway, so that's also a factor that needs to be added to this
discussion.

Oh yeah, no sidewalks is a big one. My county deliberately doesn't put sidewalks
in some places bc they want the roads to be 'rural'
