For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

who tf is out here walking at 15km/h
Pretty sure the writer meant “running” but since they were trying to convey slowness WRT top speed, their brain instinctively swapped in the more appropriate-sounding word for their intent.
It’s a common human language error, examples of which I find increasingly charming.
yeah that's damn near my sprint when i was running marathons
I like that they wrote that the walking speed was comparable to a moderate bike pace lmao, like even if you don't know the numbers that's just obviously wrong
my bicycle has a "walking speed" button on the motor's controls. it goes 2mph (a little above 3 kph) and sometimes that's too fast. they have no clue.
