Rather, "whoever invented weekends was a genius."

A video about the historical work-day one of my favorite YouTubers (Historia Civilis) released a few months ago, I think everyone should watch it: https://youtu.be/hvk_XylEmLo

His videos about Roman-era politics & important battles are also great :)

I remember working from 6 am to 6 pm. Who actually needs to see the sunlight? 😭

Backwards. Satan was a bro and tried to tell god to take a chill pill when he was being a fuckwad but God was "like no U, go to hell" and he did and now we bow to the corporate overlords as God intended.

Plot twist: OP intended the comparison as a compliment.

  1. Don't live so far north / south.

  2. Work something besides 8am - 5 p.m.

  3. We shouldn't have to work so many hours but until labor right improve and companies hire 20% more people to cover the lost 8 hours for everyone that isn't white collar, then we're going to need another baby boom in most societies where population is declining instead.

  4. World understanding that the stock market is basically a magic money generation machine for the rich while only funding a measly retirement for the working class since they don't pay us enough to save for our own retirement without magically quadrupling what we put in via compound interest. Have fun trying to reconcile static based GDP with retirement via stocks until we figure out Fusion and make a Dyson sphere.

I work 3rd shift. The less sun I see, the better.

You do realize that it was invented by people fighting desperately for work to not be 10 hours a day 6 days a week, yes?

Nah, man. Satan is the man who made 8 hours a day look like a fantastical demand back then.
