Did you notice we never got details where he walked the second 500 miles? He may walked in one direction. Then he found out she lives next to him and walked the whole 500 miles back!

...oh my God! You're right

His goal was "just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door" so it's not impossible he just walked 2000 laps around the block she lives on.

His goals are beyond our understanding

It's like that scene from A Knights Tale.

"What are you doing?"

"L O S I N G."

"I don't understand?!"

"Oh, neither do I."

Walking to show commitment was the point of the song...

Also, the very next line in Hey There Delilah is "I'd walk to you if I had no other way."

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 22 points 2 years ago

"Just to be the guy that walked 500 miles". Not exactly subtle.

"I would nap 1 hour in air travel first class, and I would nap 1 hour more, just to be that guy who napped 2 hours and took a taxi to you door."

Ah man, you're right, the post isn't funny anymore

To be fair, he did say he'd walk to her if he had no other way. However, since there are said planes, trains and cars, he's just being efficient.

Today I found out it's 'Hey there Delilah' and not 'Hey dirty lilah'.

Hey maybe proofread your memes?

Tf is a mile

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A kilometer compensating for something.

Fun fact: all the imperial units are now fixed on the SI system. Meaning that their formal definitions use SI units. So it's literally just SI with extra steps.

Fun fact: the mile was originally defined as 1000 paces.

[–] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So he walked 1 million paces?

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

He only said he would, never said he did

Kilometer Classic

1.6 kilometers. "But I would walk 804.67 kilometers and I would walk 804.67 more..."

[–] Lowered_lifted@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I walked 500 miles once. Took like a month. It's called the Camino de Santiago

[–] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where in the world is Carmino de Santiago?

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Hit it, Rockapella!
