I really appreciate that response and I think it's a good example of what I love about Lemmy.

In my head, the thread was about OP's addition to the image, which was "whoever invented the 8 hour 5 day work week is Satan." Where, ehhh, 8 hour work day feels like an improvement on most of history.

Original image, I more agree with you. I think we do have technological surplus that could be better allocated towards labour/leisure/all our modern conveniences. But, I am keenly aware it is capitalism/civilization/whatever that got us here.

Fair enough! From that view point I definitely understand where you were coming from now, my bad!
