Obviously it depends (for work when I can work on the train I am okay with longer journeys) but there has to be some sort of non-linearity involved, I agree!

If enough people think that a simple “yay” is funny enough to be upvoted near the top it probably is. If it is not upvoted it is not really a problem. Sure they are low-effort comments but in the age of ChatGPT, you can also write low-effort answers that are much longer. It is the voter’s responsibility, not the moderator’s, to separate interesting posts from non-interesting ones.

I would add exercise to point 4, doesn’t have to be a lot just get your body moving. If you are not into sports: a longer walk counts!

Maybe we can agree on “100% of people who died consumed dihydrogen monoxide beforehand”.

Wrong, a mortality of 94.5% has been shown not even close to 100%.
