But it's obviously a joke. (at least to me)

That means that the text in no way represents anyone's opinion, it's sole purpose is entertainment. If anything, it's a jab at the people that claim to do things because of the idiotic and meaningless "alpha" label, not an endorsement of sloth.

I mean I'll grant that it's about as pseudoscientific as "alpha", so turnabout is fair play.

Where are the jokes? I agree: "This moment brought to you by Lemmy©️" who are completely and consistently media-illiterate.

Nah, "alpha" is pseudoscientific. Jokes are not.
