me, a big fat guy
I’m like an ant storing all this food. 😃
If we are supposed to lie around then why is it bad for our health
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.
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.
“it helps you deal with emergencies”
Exactly why we are kept busy.
Reminds me of one of my favorite articles
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing
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”.
OUR food, comrade
Sounds like a trait from Rimworld
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.
Hunter-gatherer groups had significantly more chill time.
Once you find enough food, it’s chill time.
Way ahead of you
I thought that said “anti biologist” at first
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.
AKA “intelligent design”
So you’re saying we have an evolutionary example of “eat the rich”? I say we get started - the ants gave us a blueprint.
But what about adipose tissue?
The title is a gem. Decard Cain, you beautiful bastard.
Shouldn’t it be “lie around”?
Both of these confirm that yes, it is lie down
