Actually we don't get cubicles anymore since everyone went with open office plans.
Proven ineffective and yet they keep doing it.
You can fit more people in an open office concept.
Can't concentrate in a open office. I'm made to be alert to the slightest change and see the bear first in the woods.
Gentle Reminder: Your boss is the bear.
He's yet another distraction.
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "win the bear chase"
Your coworkers are the other campers.
In my programming career (which started in the '90s) I went from private offices with doors to high-walled cubicles to low-walled cubicles to desks in an open office, and finally to an open office plan where you didn't even have your own assigned desk. The last two steps were working from home (yay) and getting laid off (not as yay).
We also never evolved to wake up so early either, the more you think about modern life in regards to how we evolved, the weirder it gets.
Also we’re supposed to sleep twice per 24-hour period
The Greeks are onto something with their siesta culture!
And East Asians. And Latino cultures. And (fill in non European culture here probably)
As far as I know Southern Europe does have a siesta culture. Northern Europe however does not, at least not the parts I have been.
Siesta is a Spanish word and in Europe, a midday nap/siesta is most commonly associated with Spain AFAIK.
That is true. Spain and Italy for sure do
I would guess part of it would be tied to the history of the industrial revolution starting jn England and Germany but probably not the whole story
The reason that I am told is that it's just way to hot during the midday to do anything productive, so you just take a two hour break during the warmest part of the day. But there's probably more to it than just that.
Chemically it’s also perfectly balanced - except our blood alcohol level tends to run low by about 0.05%.
It's balanced now. For the previous thousands of years we had a plastic deficiency, but that's fixed.
Those nerds homo habilis didnt even ingest unnatural molecules hmmpf
They aren't fake lights. Even the lights you see in an animated movie are real lights in that they emit light on the screen.

how does cm2 keep finding these gems
They actually reposts a lot from fresh from other communities. But still, impressive.
If anything is posted to a lemmy.ml community, this person will repost it to some random lemmy.world or adjacent community
I can do that and I'm pretty sure I'm a fucking nutter
The problem is that the best jobs that don't destroy your body or pay living wages do involve the shit this meme in complaining about.
Prove me wrong and post jobs that do not involve this shit, doesn't destroy your body, and pays well. That's right, you can't.
So you're saying the problem is systemic, not solved by simply finding a new job?
the best jobs that don't destroy your body or pay living wages
I work in a factory and with all the safety equipment and rules the bodily wear and tear is actually not that bad as long as you're in shape. Plus even office workers often ruin their backs and eyesight over time. And the pay is pretty good too, especially given the fact that I actually enjoy being there.
Too bad my gear is not as durable as me. The logo is already failing.
Billionaires seem to do well on that front
I mean, none of my career in IT has involved any of that.
Your career in IT doesn't involve looking at a computer monitor or an office? You dont work five days a week? Sounds like you may possibly be full of shit.
Lawyer
My sister is stressed 24/7 as a lawyer. That can't be healthy
Sorry to hear that. It has the potential to not be a high stress job, but obviously everyone is different. Just responding to the constraints that were presented, though.
The psyche is arguably part of your body.
"Fake lights"
The question is not if it's fake lights, but how many.
