  you can retire three months before your expected lifespan, so it’s all worth it, really

  Yeah, ancient people had it good, they never had to work, food and shelter used to just fall out of the sky.

  Imagine not having to work, exercising daily, being chiseled like a Greek god and ripped like an athlete.

  Sisyphus was an absolute unit

    Get a job in the forest industry and you’ll be: exercising daily and getting ripped. Sisyphus has a job, it was pushing a boulder up a hill for eternity. Personally, I’d go nuts because I crave mental stimulation.

  Prob gonna get downvoted but lemmy is so negative. I feel like what gets the most up votes is negativity with no nuance. Like this post is comparing working endlessly on a literally endless grueling task that has no benefit to a job which gives us money to do the things we want to do in life.

  Maybe it’s on me for not curating my feed more but the negativity on lemmy is getting old. Does anyone else notice this trend of negativity?

    You make some pots for the neighbors, think your work is done, then suddenly it’s “Oh no Arkadios we dropped one of our urns and also we want to store extra grain for the cold season” and here I am making MORE FUCKING URNS.

    What I wouldn’t give to live in the old days before people had to learn a trade to get by!

      That’s why people built silos for their families, if they were wealthy enough, and for whole communities (to serve as a Bank) to store their grain

      They mostly dug a leveled pit in the ground itself to keep everything cool, but more ornate silos were part of royalty or well managed cities

      Urns were very ornate and the materials used to craft them very expensive and mostly used to store more valuable things, be it ashes, oils, Treasured items or whole bodies

      Vases were more common, and made, as pottery, with very cheap materials

    No, but people were much less alienated from their labour, so it likely didn’t feel nearly as soul-crushing as it does today

      Are you sure of that?

      For me 9-5 sitting in an office is way better than 7-7 on the sun taking care of crops, inside a mine, or as some rich guy servant.

  If there’s one thing video games have taught me it’s that once you’ve completed everything it stops being fun

  source

  • untorquer@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Yeah but videogames can actually be fun for a while. I suspect work would be far more bearable if everything could be completed. I would be much happier if I didn’t need a job to survive or have a decent standard of living.

  Do you live in a house? Somebody spent a lot of effort to build it, and expecting it for free would be silly, and its the same with many other things.

  The thing that youre mad about is the fact living standards are falling, because the central bank and our government can print unlimited sums of money out of nothing, as interest rates are set artificially low to monetize debt and encourage debt accumulation for ultimate serfdom.
