I didn't feel this should be dignified with a thread, but it's quite funny.

NY Times warns about the serious dangers of pull-ups and push-ups

Quote:The “Pete and Bobby Challenge,” as Mr. Hegseth, the secretary of defense, called it, circulated widely in videos posted to social media by both men, as well as to the official YouTube account of the Department of Health and Human Services. The challenge might have seemed novel to some, but high-volume calisthenic couplets like this are nothing new — and fitness experts caution they may not be for everyone.

The timed grouping suggested by Mr. Kennedy was similar to the Physical Screening Test for Navy Special Operations, commonly known as the P.S.T., which is the first step to becoming a Navy SEAL. The P.S.T. features sit-ups, running, swimming, pull-ups and push-ups. The minimum requirements are 50 push-ups in less than two minutes and 10 pull-ups, unbroken, without dropping from the bar.

Some kids are being lured into the dangerous world of basic physical fitness. These same potentially dangerous techniques are used by our most elite military forces as part of their training for deployments to warzones. This may sound like some new fad, but experts urge caution about the overly wordy semantic definition we gave this. This is very serious business, fitting for the NY Times to address. Yes, we're the same publication that supports children getting irreversible sterilization procedures to band-aid a complex psychological disorder, but people should hear both sides about these dangerous "fitness" "challenges" that "Pete and Bobby" are suggesting to your obese, unhealthy, mRNA vaccinated, children. Listen to us, we know best.
