me: no one should HAVE to work. I feel like people would still do stuff even if they didn't have to. they'd just do LESS of it.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 hours ago

Forbidden to work. Only allowed to stare into the distance. But not too hard

[-] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Too much work.

People should do stuff, but the paradigm of 'work' is fucked.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

People do stuff all the time. But being forced to look at clocks and wear pants is inhumane.

More the insane authoritarian inefficiencies. Clocks are useful for some stuff. I would rather my fire fighters wore pants. On the job at least. Probably my chefs. I think id rather my programmers stuck to skirts shorter than their dicks and fur suits, but thats purely a selfish desire for working computer.

Any society that makes me look at a clock isn’t one I want to be a part of. Minutes are an illusion. Hours doubly so.

Baking without clocks is really hard.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Not really. In fact, due to pressure and temperature variances waiting until the dough has risen by double is better than using a fixed time. And you can smell when bread is done.

They baked without clocks for millennia.

They did, but 'baker' was like one of the highest skill jobs around for most of that. 'risen by double' is a rough rule for some kinds of leavening.

you can smell when

Sometimes. Often with especially thick loaves the cooking isn't done until a while after it's left the oven as internal heat continues to disperse.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

And yet they did it with nary a clock in sight.

That makes it really fucking hard. Im already not good at that shit.

[-] Napster153@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

That's already good if it's followed with the clause, 'to escape poverty or an equivalent disadvantaged situation in a society.'

You don't have to be wealthy, but all basic needs should be provided along with the means of finding employment that satiates a person. Granted, some people do still need intervention but not from a sterile or disconnected environment but from a community that is willing to engage with them.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

No, because if one person is working for a salary that satiates them then it means other people must work for a salary.

No work.

No clocks.

No pants.
