You could have ended up on the one with the 84-hour workweek (12 hours a day, no day off) and with child labor... you know... the "good ole days" republicans want to take you back to by hook and by crook, and which the people of all ages have enabled, the old by batshit mental illness, the young by electoral defensive indifference. Soon enough you won't have time to navel gaze about how bad 40 is.
At least we don't have 3 suns in our solar system π€·ββοΈ
I wish we did though
For one, I wouldn't exist to suffer.
But on the other hand, we wouldn't have video games and cats πΏ
You have a three-body problem with 2 stars orbiting eachother being insufficient?
I wonder how seasons and days would work? Would the suns be up at different times (sun 1 rises at 3 in the morning and sets at noon, sun 2 rises at 8 in the morning and sets at 1 in the afternoon, sun 3 rises at noon and sets at midnight?) or would they rise and set at the same time?
Depends on the setup. For a binary system, there's really only two setups. One with two stars close together, and the planet you're on orbiting the center of mass of the two stars. Tatooine from Star Wars is like this. So it would be mostly like Earth, just with two glowing orbs in the sky next to each other during the day instead of just one glowing orb.
The other configuration would be two stars further apart, and the planet orbiting one of them. For example if one of the gas giants in our solar system was heavy enough to start nuclear fusion. Such as what happened to Jupiter in the 2001 universe (Jupiter actually gets turned into a star in the sequel, 2010). Now, the outer star will revolve around the main star, but much slower than the inner planet revolves the main star. So like Jupiter it will rise and set at approximately the same time tomorrow as it does today. But at least as far as Earth and Jupiter goes, the outer star (Jupiter) will rise about 3-4 minutes earlier tomorrow, and then 3-4 minutes earlier the day after tomorrow, etc., which means over roughly a year it will drift from being in sync with the main star, to being completely out of sync with the main star, and everything in between in terms of outer star sunrise and outer star sunset. Since Jupiter takes about 12 years to go around the Sun, it will actually take about 13 months on Earth for the cycle to repeat.
Three star solar systems arenβt stable if they are the same size or they are on similar scale distances from each other meaning they pull on each other with the same forces no matter their size. They are chaotic and there is no Goldilocks zone around the stars.
The only 3 star solar system with stable planetary orbits are either a stable binary star in the center with a third smaller sun orbiting around the binary star from far away. Or a big sun in the center and two smaller suns that are orbiting from far away.
So if you are on a planet in a stable three stars solar system that is in the Goldilocks zone youβd probably have normal sunset sunrises either with one or two suns. But youβd see a big star or two in the night sky passing on certain days, you'd probably see the star during the day as well. Like you see the moon on certain days during the day.
Crazy that we ended up at all, really
Let me introduce you to France and its 35h workweeks
These living conditions were won with blood, sweat, and tears. They have been stripped away from us through deception, isolation, and manipulation. We can still make our lives better, it is going to require a lot of work and discomfort.
It's not a function of space, but of time. Work load used to be significantly less in the medieval ages.
Modern work load is caused by progress and the high demand for human workforce that it brings with it.
Work load used to be significantly less in the medieval ages.
And even less in hunting/gathering times (probably). All the ethnographies we have of (formerly) extant hunter/gatherers show them basically not even working a part-time job. The !Kung-san of southern Africa were recorded as putting in an average of 17 hours a week of food-related work - and this was in a much sparser environment than what our ancient ancestors existed in.
What do you mean I haven't worked 40 hours a week for decades... I work 36 hours ( which is considered full time here) and I work for 4 days 9 hours a week, every Wednesday of.
Or its made by an American thinking America is the whole planet... π
Americans count their lunch breaks as hours worked. The typical "office worker" schedule is 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday with a one hour lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00. This is 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week, but if you are not counting lunch breaks then it is 35 hours a week of actual "work".
Or this comment is made by a European who wants to just diss Americans without realising this situation is largely the same in both places... π
Edit: Since there appears to be some confusion here, if a worker had a working schedule of 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday with a one hour lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00, and you asked a European and an American how many hours a week this person works, the American would say 40 but the European would say 35.
I think this would be news to most Americans.
Americans count their lunch breaks as hours worked. The typical βoffice workerβ schedule is 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday with a one hour lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00. This is 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week, but if you are not counting lunch breaks then it is 35 hours a week of actual βworkβ.
I am an American. When someone works the schedule indicated, I and my fellow countrymen would call it 40 hours a week, but a European would count it as 35 hours a week.
What field do you work in? If you're salary, all bets are off. If you work for a factory, you'll work 8-5 with an unpaid lunch.
Every salary job I've worked is 8 hours a day of work with a 1 hour unpaid lunch. So it's something like 08:00-17:00 or 09:00-18:00 as your work hours. That's what is called 40 hours a week around here. You could consider that 45 hours a week. As lunch is unpaid that's considered your time to do whatever you want including leaving the job site for that hour.
Some shift-work places will do something like 09:00 to 17:00 with a paid 30 minute lunch. Since lunch is paid time, they can require you stay on the job site. This is isn't as common now as it used to be, but some places like factories that run a 24 hours a day schedule still do things like that.
Then I never talked irl to a typical American with typical working hours. Next time I talk to them I tell them they are doing it wrong...
Could also be the one where the piggies have strap-ons
ai slop
Wow nothing gets by you, huh.
Man, miss piggy would be a rough pegger. You just know she wouldn't be going easy on you.
Kermit's butthole would look like Gonzo's beak after. And sound the same.
Why a strap on when you got 6 fingers to a hoof.
Nice
