God damn, that looks terrible. It’s not just a treadmill, it’s basically a stairlift that prisoners and slaves were forced to use. And anyone who’s used a stairlift knows how brutal of a workout they are.
Soon to be installed in Amazon facilities around the country.
They need cheap electricity for the AI data centres.
