We need to fight for beequality!
Well they get a long ass winter break
That's why we have the expression "busy as a bee"
For some reason I read it aloud as 'buzzy' in my head, and was confused about the word.
You gotta stay buzzy as a bee in this doggie dogg world.
Yes, this doggy dog world is cruel
Our reward circuits go off when someone mentions taking a rest.
Bee reward circuits go off for things that we would consider work.
Basically, the whole time they are face-first in a flower slurping up nectar and gathering pollen, the thing going through their tiny brains is "Fuck yeah I needed this".
If you gave a bee the day off the general sentiment would be "What the fuck man, this is bullshit, I demand you let me go and collect nectar right fucking now!"
Bees live in their natural environment. They don’t have a separation between work and play, because their brains are engaged in the same world they evolved for. And if they don’t have brains whatever.
Humans have “work” because we don’t live in the environment our motivational systems evolved for.
This is all laid out clearly in Genesis 1.6. When you go to close a project that has issues it prompts you about what steps you took. This is because the creators knew we aren’t naturally evolved to handle working with text based interfaces.
Tell me more about this "Genisis 1.6"
Genesis 1.6 is where person goes when they want to find order. The order is described in words that hang in a black darkness. It is a window into the past, though it can provide insight into the problems of the present.
At least they don't have to work nights.
You guys are getting weekends off?
They also only have a couple weeks left to live once you see them outside on your flowers 😢

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
