Internet says an average adult breaths 12 - 20 time per minute. Assuming 20 breaths per minute, that comes out to $1,440 dollars per day($0.05 × 20 breaths × 60 minutes × 24 hours)

If you're dedicated, you can walk 20,000 steps in a day. It's not easy, but it's achievable. This would yield $5,000 per day.

For perspective, if you were smart and chose the $5,000 per day, it would take you 547 years to earn your first billion and 131,416 years to have as much money as Jeff Bezos.

Edit: I lost some decimals. I fixed the calculations

I think you forgot to divide by 100 for the breathing one. It's $1,440 cause it was 5 cents

Dang. You're right.

Yeah, I think breathing accounts for $1440.

I would take steps income. Going for a jog twice per week, assuming I'll be taxed at the same rate as my current job, I'll still earn much more money for way less time investment, plus I would be fit and I enjoy running.

I'd take breath income, purely because it's passive. If you ever lose your legs, you lose your income, but if I ever stop breathing, it's no longer my problem that I have no more income

I am with you. Plus you can do other exercises while breathing (and breath more per minute) and still earn money. And if you need money faster then go for a run or something. 12-20 breaths per minute when sitting 20-30 when walking 40-60 when running

I don't need to earn a lot as a passive side job and when I get old and can't walk as much will I still earn money and I think it is when I am old I actually need it.

For me definitely steps, I walk 5000 steps on a work day, when I actually have time off its more like 10K steps. I would stop working and just walk with my dog for an full hour every day. Combine that with normal daily stuff I'll definitely get 10K steps (2500 euros/dollars) every day. That's almost a million a year.

That's fair. I'm fine settling for half a mil before taxes for doing nothing

Who is Beff Jezos?

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 5 points 5 days ago

I usually call him Jeff Bozo or just Bozo for short.
