Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

why did humans invent "get a job" and "go to work"? other animals don't have to "get a job" or "go to work"? seems unfair (hexbear.net)

why can't we just frolic in a meadow and eat berries in the sunshine?

why did humans choose "get a job" and "go to work" to occupy their time rather than hang out with friends and make music and art

Wild animals don't have to. Most of the nonhuman vertebrate animal biomass on planet earth is enslaved by industrial agriculture and never gets to leave their job or experience not working
