There have been 2 true crime stories in the last year of parents torturing children to death by making them run on treadmills til they collapsed. It never occurred to me there was such a long history to it... but of course i should've guessed; we humans love to get fancy and technical with our torture. As an alternate source of power, a single person device like this could be useful for off-grid power generation though, I'd think. Very cool video--thanks for such interesting content!

Thank you for enlightening me. I now think differently about the treadmill.

[@foreverrcocochenel]

I love the opportunity to learn about how YT people use to play in our face. I find it very empowering to learn how their hatred stems from their envy. If you got anything out of this, I recommend that you take it that YT people saw our ancestors having so much fun and perhaps even becoming healthier and stronger, that the “hole they created for us”, ended up being one that they needed as well. Furthermore, when black people invent things it benefits the collective, when YT people do it, it’s out of spite and like I said it’s a catch 22 for them.
