This is one of those posts where I cannot work out if this is earnest or satire. I kept waiting for a punchline but I don't know if it ever came. Makes me suspect the whole thing was the punchline.

I took it seriously and wrote up the reply that came from my gut: https://substack.com/@zackmaril/note/c-185137941

Why does one really need a slack channel to ask people if they want to go for a walk? Why not walk around and ask people if they want to take a walk?

Maybe if they are also using AR glasses and bring slack with them... They need a currently taking a walk channel.

Ah, how silly of me to overlook that option.

If you think about it "dog/whatever walking together" on a huddle could work quite well.
