I'm gonna link to the animations in case y'all either don't remember or have never heard of some of these.

A quick note: these were made in the 2000s. Comedy is subjective, there's some strong examples of dark and/or "lolz teh random" humor in these. Maybe some cultural blindness, too. That said, enjoy a time capsule of stuff made before/during the birth of Youtube, now hosted on Youtube.

Welcome to the Protestant Work Ethic where if you are not working for 16 hours a day you are a Sinner that will Burn In Hell. Unless of course you are rich in which case you are Blessed by God and can go to Heaven without lifting a finger.

heard a story on a podcast that some Christian missionaries showed these rural Cambodian farmers how to double their crop yields. the missionaries came back a year later and were surprised the Cambodians had grown basically the same amount of crops but the farmers were like β€œyeah this is great, we got everything we need for the year and only had to do half as much work”

and if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the current North American work environment I don't know what will

Telling this story to myself over and over again every time i feel the need to just work that little bit more, to find a job with more hours. I earn enough to live, profit should not be the primary motive of our time.

and it's wild because financebros will tell you rapturous tales of passive income, hands-off investment solutions, whatever, and it's like... they want the same thing! they want to be a landlord CEO or whatever and have lots of free time to fuck around on a yacht or breed horses or golf or whatever! they don't want to work either, their whole goal in life is to work less! but the problem is that they've convinced themselves that what they're doing counts as work, that just by owning things, they're "job creators" or whatever who meaningfully contribute to society (as opposed to the lazy poors on benefits, who are clearly a drain on society). so they've managed to have their cake and eat it too, i.e. they get to demonize anyone who isn't rich who expresses the "lazy" idea of "I don't want to work myself to death," but also, you know, they can still spend all their time doing designer drugs in international waters with 80 of their closest friends.
