Have you been on this sub before?
Also your claim about people having more time a hundred years ago... I mean... I don't even know how to answer claim do surrealistic claims from Narnia.
How about this? I'll try it the nice way.. You provide some citations of where you get your funny ideas and I'll honestly read them and follow the sources to see from what ass they were pulled. If, for whatever reason your source actually is from a real historical source, I'll happily consider it and consider myself lucky to learn.
On my part I know that a hundred years ago (at least in western Europe) people worked a LOT more. Thanks due to religion they had the Sunday off to do nothing but worship, but the rest of the days were working 12 hour shifts with basically no work safety standards to speak of. Working was terrible a hundred years ago and it is a LOT better now
Unless you live in the US, probably, because in the US people are dumb and actually think all of what they're doing is normal. You still have only 2 weeks of vacations per year? In Europe you got 5. In Europe you typically work about 36, maybe 40 hours a week on a full-time job which, again, was VERY different in the past
I hope one day you can grow past this slave mentality.
Our systems can easily allow us to work less than half the week, we are failing to transition to a better and easily obtainable world.
Oh look! Zero citations, just some more random claims!
Like I said: you make rather interesting claims, to out it mildly. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If you want to be taken seriously you can't behave like a 5 year old and just ignore everything.
Show me the studies. Show me that this isn't just something that somebody told you on Facebook or Lemmy or wherever.
Don't get me wrong, I too sometimes claim rather crazy things that upon deeper inspection just turned out to be some dumb idea i had. I should get called out in that just the same as I'm calling you out here on your crazy ideas.
