I don't know about that. I bet if we did an experiment and averaged the times of all people running for their lives being chased by an animal that was gonna eat them versus the same control group running towards a new free house or lots of money I think the average times will be faster of the ones running for their lives. Just a guess.

Maybe, but when it comes to money, you'll prolly get some 30 second miles.

I have to agree with endgame! Most people have the “it won’t  happen to me” mentality, so money would be an incredible incentive because most people care about it more than their own well being!

I thought zombies walked real slow. Those were really boogying. Anyway, that guy that escaped reminded me of Steve Perry of the group Journey. Also, he just left that woman to die then took that guys boat while he died. He wasnt on a hero mood that day!

o.  He gets what's coming to him...you should seriously watch it.  but watch the first movie first!

I thought it was to help train us if and when there actually is some kind of zombie apocolypse.    I mean, a bat is much better to use than a stick!

Peace is the only correct equation, therefore one day the correct one for the Earth as it is written and I firmly believe and shall always do so.

 

....without getting into religion, there....

You really can't reason with zombies though.  Heck, I wouldn't even try to pick pocket them!

I love the word eraser.

 

Like erasing such nonsensical concepts. Realistically speaking, of course..

Do exist people like that? What a stupid thing! If we were talking about football, or sth more profitable than chess, well, in that case...

Some of these chess parents don’t realize that if they keep pressuring their kids at a young age, they’ll end up like Thanos and Gamora.

many parents don't even think rationally about their kids capacity. parents today also think that their high school senior can do calculus and take 5 AP classes, while themselves, they probably don't even know the derivative of CoSec X (-csc x* tan x)

That behavior is never excusable in any way. Parents just want bragging rights at the end of the day.

agreed, why do you think parents have soo many kids. The cuteness of "my little baby" only lasts about 8 months, and then it's just a nuissance to them. probably so all those kids will get jobs and the net income will support them when they are old lol.

I LOVE cats, but I would never ever have one as a pet, because I wouldn't be able to handle the sleep deprivation and cost of taking care of it, nor the grief when it dies in 10 years.

I also think people in general with sleeping issues should NEVER EVER EVER even CONSIDER having kids.

I could buy a Porsche and a Rolex with the amount that I would spends on diapers, food, and clothes. They have more kids because they like the feeling of “oh! Good for you!” It’s really self centered.
