minus-squaretoofpic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 months agoexactly 10k is bullshit, but I don’t see why it still can’t be a cutoff. 3-5k is too low, 20k+ only happens when you are actually hiking or sightseeing all day while travelling (unless you have a work where you run back and forth all day)
