dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Anarchists have moved beyond abolishing bedtime to abolishing all time.

No war but the class war. No time but party time.

Cut to: Operating Room

Anesthesiologist: "The patient is under. You can begin."
Surgeon: "Good. Remind me, about how long until it wears off? If we hit a snag, I want to know whether I have time to keep going or if we need to sew them up and try again later."
Anesthesiologist: "Time is a bourgeois construct, you fucking reactionary."

The Maoist uprising against the Time Lords was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, leading to almost totally equal redistribution of time amongst the peasantry

based and anti clock pilled

Nah but fr if you think about it, it's like clickbait innit but it just kinda means if no one was under work quotas/everyone did things at their own pace then there's less need for knowing what specific time it is. Deadlines wouldn't really exist, you'd just kinda get used to doing things by routine or sunlight. Indigenous cultures kind of do this, have a lot less focus on the clock and are happier for it.

There's this youtube vid called the Tyranny of the Clock that describes it really well

Yeah there actually is an interesting conversation to be had.

Like many people have said over the years "Dogs don't keep the time."

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

There is an interesting conversation about the invention of the clock and universal time, for sure. But the argument for getting rid of it boils down to let's return to a preindustrial society, which is not so interesting to me. You can't run a industrialized, global society on people doing whatever whenever based on vibes.

For sure, you can miss me with RETVRN shit. I don't have the capacity to adequately articulate this point any more, but it is interesting to think about how "time" as such is socially determined and how much power over our lives we ascribe it. We take it for granted as a kind of "natural" force, and yet we can affect it through human action (daylight savings fast and loose example.)

IDK, not a particularly useful conversation politically I'd say at least for the moment, but interesting nonetheless.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

Unironically this i-think-that

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

What do we want!? THE END OF TIME! When do we want it!? UNDEFINED!

Me, a smart person: Metric Time

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

I have a set of rules for my fantasy worlds like the writers for coyote and roadrunner. One of them is that I don't like to numerically represent distance, size, or time. "She was 2.5m tall" should always instead be "I had to tilt my head all the way to meet her gaze." I think it's more impactful.

Because of that, every world that I write has a really lax system of keeping track of years/year equivalents passing. The idea is that "counting [years] is for distant lovers and diasporas." For instance there is a kingdom that was founded when a mysterious person made a prophecy that a comet would cross the sky in 100 [years]. So they took it upon themselves, much to the chagrin of outside parties, to count to see if it comes true. When it did, they all freaked out and had decided to delve into developing prophecy and counting time. That resulted in a culture everybody else hated because 1) monarchy is gross and 2) keeping a numerical history is taboo. It's like "why are you being so dramatic about the flow of time?"

But I like birthday parties.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Every day can be your birthday

How can anyone tell you different?

Someone once told me, time is a flat circle.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

This but unironically

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Stupid story that makes me kind of actually relate to the meme.

Drafted the grand canyon last year and met my group halfway down so go to hike down the canyon and get pucked up. We established two weeks ahead of time what time we were meeting.

Day of the hike didn't realize it was daylight saving time so had like an hour window of when I thought pick up was, this got further confused over the next days when we realized Arizona doesn't do daylight saving time, at this point we all pretty much agreed time was a construct and the answer to what time is it was "who knows" for the rest of the trip.

Let the clock burnings commence!

this kicks ass, all of you are weird sectarians who hate anarchists because you're not cool enough to understand what they're saying
