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

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 :)

Our Ford, hallowed be thy name.

Make sure to thank him for the unhinged antisemitic conspiracies too.

Why? The Ford Motor Company literally tried crushing unions. And unions made the 40 hour/5 day work week.

Its my turn to use the sun!

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.

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.

“Lest we forget the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history… the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom."
