Woman Sparks Global Debate On Twitter When She Asked If 23 Minutes Is Considered A Walking Distance

by Sophia

When you are scrolling through Twitter, there is always this big possibility that you would stumble upon a thread where people are debating over something so random and trivial, but for some reason, you're hooked. It's safe to say that you would always never know what you will be encountering once you scroll through the bountiful Twitterverse, and that some of the most completely random thoughts there can go viral as long as it evokes enough passionate reactions from people.

When a user named Mal posted a completely random question regarding walking distances, it was never expected that the tweet would go viral with people hopping in on the thread and dropping their two cents. Mal only wanted to know if 23 minutes would still be considered a walking distance, and sure enough, the people of Twitter did not disappoint—but the replies were divided in half.

How far can you walk to a place without feeling your knees buckle and your feet in pain? Different people have different definitions of what a "walking distance" is, and for a group of friends, that topic may be up for debate.

That's exactly what happened here because what might be walking distance to some may already be excessive for others. Just take a look at the highlights of the thread below!
