You have 10 seconds to name one invention that has had a greater positive impact on the health of the general population than Pokemon Go has.

>People are more likely to have a lower weight if they regularly engage in high impact walking compared to doing another vigorous activity like going to the gym, according to new LSE research.

>Men and women who regularly walked briskly for more than 30 minutes had lower BMIs and smaller waists than those who engaged in regular sports/exercise.

>Increasing the daily number of steps a person takes is linked to living longer, new research shows.

>The study by the George Institute for Global Health and the Menzies Research Institute in Tasmania, published in the PLOS ONE journal, monitored 3,000 Australians over 15 years.

>A sedentary person who increased his or her steps from 1,000 to 10,000 a day, seven days a week, was found to have a 46% lower mortality risk. If increased to 3,000 a day five days a week, the person had a 12% lower risk.

>The association between daily steps and mortality was largely independent of factors such as Body Mass Index and smoking, Dwyer said.

You can spoof the gps and catch all the pokemon you want from the comfort of your parent's basement.

clean water

>implying normies and your average fatty know how to do this

>invention
>clean water
That's more like a natural occurance, but my pick is penicilin. It's saved a shitton of lives since it's discovery.

one problem: it all ends when they stop playing. They aren't going for walks because they enjoy it, likely the opposite, they're suffering through the light exercise and mild weather just to play the game. When the game loses its appeal, they're back to sedentary. Pokemon Go gives a fat man a fish, but doesn't teach him how to fish

cooking food

I am so sick of this normie shit

Why do people also try to find some extra justification for playing Pokemon Go?
If it's fun for you, by any means play it. But walking around a bit won't make you any fitter if you continue eating unhealthy.

Go out in the woods with a cup and find yourself some clean water to drink.

How the hell are water purifiers not an invention?

> implying fugbook isn't filled with statuses of people DRIVING to Pokestops

Pokemon Go is a cancer.

>Go out in the woods with a cup and find yourself some clean water to drink
actually not difficult.. unless someone is shitting upstream

Now fuck off.

>"True. What else?"
>"They will have this machine where you get to sit and you close your legs against the weight"

>"That's 45lb, that's pretty heavy"
>"Yeah but legs are stronger"
>"Oh, right. What else?"
>"Well I think that's it. They will work both the upper and the lower body with these exercises, and they only have 30 minutes"
>"True. So tell me, do you really think that 30 minutes of brisk walking is associated to lower BMIs than people going at the gym and engaging in vigorous training like this one?'
>"I don't know, Alex. that's why we are doing science, isn't it? I guess we will find out after tomorrow."
>"Yeah, our scientific method will help shed some light on the fitness industry."

TODAY ON BUZZFEED VIDEO :
Don't fall for the Gym/Diet industry! New study shows that brisk walking for 30min is better for you than going at the gym!

This desu. Yeah it's great that so many otherwise lazy couch potatoes are getting out and walking. Walking isn't gonna do much for gym rats like us (at least if you aren't a cardio skipping faggot) but for your average person it is great.

Like this guy says though, when the appeal wears thin most will go back to their sedentary lifestyle.

Can't wait to see the obesity percentage for 2017. I'm sure it will be much lower thanks to this innovative game. Literally God's gift to mankind

Sports

> high impact walking
lmao

It's been out for less than a month, calm down with your miracle weight loss drug.

Also I have two inventions: discipline and self control

I didn't even consider what the end game of this app is. Like when everyone has super high level Pokemon that are next to impossible to level up what then?

I bet this game will be dead within 1-2 more months

u w0t m8?
Today's games have no end goal. They are designed to have people play them for as long as possible, because the more time you invest in them the higher the chance you do micro transactions. Today games don't have a purpose, a goal, an end or whatever. Their lifetime are all artificially raised by introducing some unnecessary cooldown on stuff etc.

Yeah things were better in my times, junior.

Soap

End game doesn't really matter, it's about fad interest. Remember Mafia Wars? Bejeweled? Candy Crush? Fallout Shelter?

>tricking people into walking has done more for humanity than
penicillin
vaccination
birth control
germ theory

The fire.

holy shit, fucking loved this. i hope pokemon go changes into this instead of what it is now.

Indoor plumbing and modern waste management is one of mankind's greatest creations and people don't think about it 90% of the time.

>mfw designated shitting streets

Modern medicine.

This is the most retarded thread I've encountered, and I've encountered some in my days.

Nintendo will have to release more Pokemon to keep people playing, but normies are exclusively Genwunners and will become confused and angry. The Pokefags will keep playing regardless.

You're an idiot. Modern medicine has no clue how to beat obesity. This game is stimulating people to go out and exercise. This will be huge

No I didn't play any of that trash because I'm not a mindless piece of millenial trash. I don't click everything that pops up on Facebook.

>mfw observing a very subtle troll.

Hes asking if you remembered it you autistic fuck. And you obviously did considering you called it trash. His point was that they were all super popular but as time went on that popularity died and now only a few people still play.

I cant believe i had to explain that to you you fucking moron

Anything that gets our morbidly obese, habitually sedentary society on their feet and changes physical activity from a chore to a trend is a good thing.

Not the best thing, not the optimal thing, but a good fucking thing my dudes

pic unrelated

>he thinks I couldn't tell endless pay to play grind games are trash without playing

>he thinks that was the point of my response

Plz post you doing same routine

Gotta show all the normal fans our power levels
>mfw I have a lot of water pokemon in the desert
I g-got it from an egg...

On the real though I have actually been less healthy since that shit game came out, lol

Any fattie that lives in a part of the world that gets snow is gonna stop playing this game come November, I guarantee it.

I'm tempted to do this since Japanese servers aren't likely to go up before sept

Youtubers do this now

Shoes

Penicillin

>never been in the woods before
there's a reason all those societies drank beer pretty much exclusively back in the bad old days.

Then they introduce a new round of pokemon to catch. They have like 1000 of those fuckers now.

Sterons

Look at our world we've created. Everyone is shitting upstream and no one cares. Close to a third of the world's population drinks water that is fecally contaminated

>New study shows that brisk walking for 30min is better for you than going at the gym

lmao - 1 hr of walking is like 400cal tops

here we go falling for the exercise yourself thin meme again,

It's not really about calories. Obesity isn't the direct cause of greater mortality according to science, it is the decreased cardio function and so forth that comes with it.

So if you remain somewhat active via daily walking it should give a similar mortality rate to normal weight people.

>The association between daily steps and mortality was largely independent of factors such as Body Mass Index and smoking, Dwyer said.

Penicillin.

The only water that is safe to drink is spring/rain water. Anything else can make you pretty sick.
You can boil water to make it safe though.

Sewage systems
Water purification

Penicilin, laundry machines, airbags, shoes

refrigeration you double nigger

The bicycle

>shoes

no one will talk about this game next year chill normie

fuck off

next year? try next month. after the novelty wears off it will be like every other stupid ass smartphone game that was the biggest thing in the world for a few months then died. like that candy crush thing, and flappy bird and damn daniel

soon the nostalgic novelty of walking around throwing pokeballs will wear off and people will go back to whatever it is they do

You know what the weirdest thing about Pokemon Go has been to me? I thought that "normies", normal people our age who are playing this game, teens to late 20s, are always out and about in bars, clubs, restrauants, walking, sports, etc in their free time, not a shut-in aspie like me.

Yet suddenly this Pokemon Go thing has people actually going outside, walking around, etc, people marveling at this like they never did it before.

I don't get it. Do normies really not go outside that much after all'?>

Like 90% of natural water in the U.S. is safe to drink. The only water that's DEFINITELY safe to drink is spring water and glacier melt, but any old stream is PROBABLY safe, and the probability of safety would have been very near 100% for very nearly all of human history.

Fire.

normies are not so different than us, they just browse twitter and facebook instead of Veeky Forums

Considering the shit i see normies doing at the gym it probably is

Its called Evergreen, when an app or game just continues forever.

This is actually probalby why it was released in the middle of summer

gyms

you're a fucking idiot. if you go get a cupful of water from a stream in the woods, you are swallowing so much dirt and bacteria you'll either puke it up straight away or get sick as fuck. go try it. I did when I was little and I haven't had a stomach virus of that level.

Actually, you have to enable the developer options to spoof locations. At least on Android. And if you've done that, the game fails to load up at all.

There's a reason that for most of human history the drinks of preference have been beer, wine or some sort of tea. Turns out that natural river water is something of a dice roll.

I drank water from streams in the woods all the time growing up and never got sick from it.
