  • This only works when you divide the time spent working over the year. As a medival peasant you worked your ass off in spring or whenever you sow your fields, kept it up while it grew, which was somewhat normal working times by todays standard, and toiled for double digit hours in harvesting season again. After that was time to do literally nothing. When you look at seasonal holidays in many european countries, they are mostly at the end of harvesting seasons, when you could easily be blackout drunk for a week because there was nothing else to be done. I personally don’t mind regular working hours when the alternative is half a year of 15 hour shifts and half a year of more or less no work.



  • What I personally love about Lemmy in comparison to Reddit is the sheer mass of bot alligations. I guess it comes from the fact that the site is still small and, in theory, someone could influence a significant part of the discourse with just a few. The entertainment factor on the other hand is so incredibly worth it. Seing some shmuck completely destroyed and then throwing with shit and bot allegations when he is clearly just wrong will never be not funny. If you don’t mind me, my master is about to turn me off Beep boop, have a good one



  • My favourite is castle in the sky. To be honest, the nostalgia goggles play a major part, but the movie is just so damn beautiful with the interpersonal drama, the stunning themes of nature (both human and environmental) and the bombast of the inhuman weaponry a multitude of people want to acquire. Its just a fucking banger. Like many Ghibli movies I can’t fathom how anyone would rate it for kids, but I’m glad I watched it as a child.
