We've clearly created a utopia.

I hate the term 9 to 5, know why?

Because who the fuck is getting a paid lunch these days? It's like that quietly went away in the 2000's and no one complained.

9-5 is the old slang. It’s really more like 8-6 or 9-7 now.

Just one less hour to be a person. That’s all.

If you understand the way things are right now is broken, you should understand that you ALWAYS have a choice to stop being cynical, fight for your freedom and fight for what's right.

I wasn't ONLY talking about reddit in this post a while back. https://lemmy.world/post/858027

Choose to be creative. Choose to be sincere. Choose to be a human again.

2 weeks only? should change the headlines to "americans were made"

Image Transcription:

The image is titled "HUMANS WERE MADE TO".

Below the title are 5 images and 6 lines of text. The first image is that of a person sitting on a chair at a desk. The text beside it reads "Sit at the desk 9-5".

The second image is the Netflix logo, the text beside it reads "Come home every night to watch Netflix".

The third image is a person wearing a backpack, shorts, boots, and a hat. The text beside it reads "Explore the world for only 2 weeks out of the year".

The fourth image is that of a box containing an assortment of items, the text beside it reads "Have zero creativity".

The fifth image is that of a person sitting on the floor with their knees drawn up to their chest, the text beside it reads "Have every single aspiration beaten out of them".

Underneath the images is a final line of text reading "THERE IS nothing MORE TO LIFE."

To be fair, you don't have to sit around watching Netflix

The scary part is that this doesn’t even sound bad to me anymore.

Man it sure sucks to be American in this time.

Work is a scam, take what you need and burn your bosses.

Two weeks?? Longest vacation I've been on in the past 20+ years was eight days, with the eighth day being unintentional due to an issue with the airlines.

damn when did everyone go full doomer?

I dunno…I sit more than 9-5.

Sometimes I tidy the house during the week so I can do nothing on the weekends! It's a miraculous discovery that gives life meaning!

Exploring the world for two whole weeks every year sounds awesome

You guys are exploring the world for 2 weeks? Lucky.

WRONG! Humans were supposed to be threshing wheat and hauling logs!

Wow, wow, wow!!! TWO WEEKS?! Calm down Bear Grylls! Too wild man, too wild!

2 weeks? I get 1 week. And if I want to split that up, too bad. It has to be 40 concurrent hours.

This truly is the best of all possible worlds!

Because you owe them

I'll never understand the 9-5 thing. Even years ago, the people who didn't have shitty hours worked like 8-4:30 or something. Most people don't actually work 9-5.

If the current definitions don't fit the target, change the definitions until they do. Dystopia 101.. which of course is redefined now to be Utopia 101.

I get four weeks, plus about 12 public holidays.

Sucks to be you.

Fuck, for someone who is stuck in this rut ( ie me) we probably have the greatest quality of life in all human history and still complaining.

2 weeks seems like a lot. Anyway I can dwindle that down to less?

Good Lord.

Bunch of depressed doomer bullshit from a bunch of people I hope are talking to a therapist.

give up

Yeah we're supposed to never leave our village for our 40 year lifespan, fear this that go against our myths and tradition and violently castigate those we deem different enough for us.

Or maybe civilization itself was too much and we should live in even smaller groups with our numbers limited by no agriculture.

Why do we hate Netflix and abundant food?

When the alternative is man Vs nature in a constant struggle to avoid violent or hungry death, or even worse - slavery, then we gotta count our blessings. I'm also greatful for every day I'm not plowing cotton fields with my hands or operating machinery in a factory.

Humans were made to reproduce and expand. Trough pure luck of evolution we got in a position that we don't need to be afraid of being eaten by lion, or dying from appendix infection, or getting impaled by some random warlord at the age of 5. By comparison sitting at the desk seems like a good deal.
