lay around a while and listen
Is the living food storage part from like those honey or sap ants, where they have guys with those giant sacs of honey or sap to feed to whoever wants it?

Well that’s pretty cool if that’s it, my brain went straight to cannibalism

It’s called “social stomach”.

I’m living food storage to myself.

You feed yourself off your large sac?

Too much activity prevents thinking

Maybe that’s what they want.

I’m a little too good at acting as living food storage.

I think living food storage might be a requirement for multicellular life on earth. Who is acting? What am I James Lipton?

It’s sinister that all of life’s necessities are locked behind paywalls.

Monstrous is what it is.
The very concept of earning one’s living, as if we didn’t deserve to be alive without sacrificing said life for the privilege.

There is one kind of prison where the man is behind bars, and everything that he desires is outside; and there is another kind where the things are behind the bars, and the man is outside.

I’m like an ant storing all this food. 😃

Hunter-gatherer groups had significantly more chill time.
Once you find enough food, it’s chill time.

“it helps you deal with emergencies”
Exactly why we are kept busy.

We’re called chemists, and it’s more of a friendly rivalry

Which makes biochemistry what you get when you combine something with its anti particle, organized chaos.

Shouldn’t it be “lie around”?

TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Both of these confirm that yes, it is lie down

So you’re saying we have an evolutionary example of “eat the rich”? I say we get started - the ants gave us a blueprint.

The title is a gem. Decard Cain, you beautiful bastard.

If we are supposed to lie around then why is it bad for our health
Deceptichum@quokk.au 17 hours ago
Because we’re also meant to move around.
We’re not meant to do either all the time.

Not moving at all: Muscle atrophy.
Moving too much: RSI.

Yeah, it’s something that’s super useful about humans.
They’re very durable, and can follow instructions effectively.
They make excellent slaves, compared to other forms of life.
For me, that’s the resource aliens would invade us for.
It’s us.
