rich 'people' will literally call anything "work" to try and absolve their pig brains of the guilt they feel deep down. my boss loves to "work fridays at home". of course any time he needs to facetime me so he can micromanage my work, his "work" convenient seems to always take place outside in the nice weather by a relaxing view

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 12 points 2 weeks ago

Wait, you mean a party at my friend's mansion where I constantly tell people how important I am isn't work? Sorry bud, you're delusional.

"Haha I have completely hollowed my psyche and become a vessel for the worship and nihilistic stockpiling of abstract wealth, aren't I quirky?"

having dreams about serving capital is just extremely sad

[–] CupcakeOfSpice@hexbear.net 36 points 2 weeks ago

This is the Bloodborne nightmare. They encage their heads and consume the umbilical cord to contact Capital, and it traps its new children in a nightmare where there is no escape from The Grind. But tonight is the night of the Hunt, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

imagine waking up after 3 hours of lucid dream work and immediately having to journal everything down instead of brushing your teeth

[–] aanes_appreciator@hexbear.net 67 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

'it works! she got millions on funding" i love how capitalists have given up on profit on 2025, it's just shuffling money between banks and venture capitalists via the checking account of dipshits who "invent" tinder but for [insert industry]

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Further proof that capitalism isn't even about maximising profit, it's only about maximising the accumulation of wealth.

Thats not true! It's also about alienating us from material reality!

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 65 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Imagine believing this. Incidentally, you only spend like a quarter of the time you're asleep in REM, which is a necessary condition for dreaming.

[–] cannon_annon88@lemmy.today 36 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah but time isn't really the same in dreams, so you could work like an extra 12 hours in there.

You ever have those dreams where you live an entire lifetime? If you think about it you could be working 700k hours a day

There was a time when I'd have intense dreams just as I'd doze off, and then immediately be awakened by them. Learned later that it was a sign that I was sleep deprived (mostly my own fault because I'd be up until 4 or 5 in the morning playing games or watching movies, then wake up at like 8 to go to work).

*Learns to lucid dream

*Instead of having fun with it you WORK??!

Bruh, girl, there's so much fun things you can do in your dream if you can lucid dream it but apparently instead of that, the obsession to your work encompassed any desire, curiousity or relaxation..

Damn it, capitalism.

[–] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 48 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

When I learned to lucid dream it was so a bunch of hot dudes would fawn over me.

Kinda embarrassing in hindsight but after reading this not embarrassing at all.

[–] fermuch@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Did it work? Asking for a friend...

[–] axont@hexbear.net 28 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

I mean I learned to lucid dream a long time ago and I feel like the effects are very exaggerated. If you can close your eyes and imagine something really hard, that's about the same as lucid dreaming. Every time I've done it I've both been aware it's a dream and aware that it's just imagination too.

I've never related to the stories of people claiming they can fully simulate reality in their minds during lucid dreaming. It never felt like that to me, felt more like jusy having your mind wander during daydreaming. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but it seems like what lucid dreaming is supposed to be, awareness that I'm asleep and dreaming, able to wake myself up at any moment, and able to conjure up images of sensations.

when i was having frequent lucid dreams i had awareness of the fact i was dreaming but did not have much control over them.

if i was searching to find my dog, for instance, I would have to really explore the messed up blended together landscape i was physically in and find locations associated with my dog.

in my experience, you cannot just summon a bunch of hunky dudes out of mid air sicko-wistful

[–] kadu@scribe.disroot.org 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Up until I was 9 I could, on demand, stop any dream and pick from a "selector" just like a jukebox to go back to any other dream I had and enjoyed. I was fully aware I was sleeping, and would choose freely.

I hate that as I got older I completely lost this skill.

It's the same mindset as the ceo ghouls that microdose lsd to be better at work. blob-stop

Dream job? No, I do not dream of labor, thank you.

Do ~~Androids~~ Workers Dream of Electric ~~Sheep~~ Jobs?

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 46 points 2 weeks ago

I actually work 25/8. I have achieved a higher mode of consciousness where I can weave out of the normal timeline and do work in the timeless void equivalent of working an extra 32 hours a week. I think VCs should give me 100s of millions of dollars for my startup, Buddha AI, where we are trying to train LLMs to achieve enlightenment.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 45 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Cool. I will work 24/7 for you if you let me sleep for 18 hours of the day.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 44 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Oh cool you found out how to control your dreams, what kind of awesome shit you doing in dream time? Flying? Fighting monsters? Traveling the globe? No? What? Working? dennis-stare

[–] Firstnamebunchofnumbers@hexbear.net 33 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I apend my lucid dreams getting flattened bt very very large furry women

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

And you're cool for that, way better than fucking working.

I've had some intense dreams where I'm getting hella laid by the woman of my, well, dreams and yet this is what you chose to spend your finite time on earth doing???

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 39 points 2 weeks ago

Look if they want to work 24/7 I say we throw the CEOs into work camps so they can live out their fantasies doing something productive, like hitting rocks with a pickaxe.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 37 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You haven't cloned yourself so you can work 48/7? Slacker. Learn to grind.

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh so you and your clone just work 7 days a week? I and mine have invented Octoday so we're doing a solid 48/8

Pretty frequently I'll be having an issue with something and while I'm dreaming I come up with the perfect solution. Then I wake up and try to remember what it was and it's always something like "Have Jeff Goldblum bake a cake made out of macaroni and cheese." I would not trust a business where someone does 1/3 of their problem solving while asleep.

[–] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

So many of my dreams are about being in my house or some other familiar building, but it always has extra rooms or floors, or one of the entry doors opens up to a beach or a forest or something, or there's a tunnel in the basement that leads into a cavern or vault. Meanwhile my mind is all, "yep, this place has been like this the whole time" and accepts this wonky alternate universe as fact.

Then when I wake up, I'm slightly disappointed that my house is the same old boring place it's always been.

She's lying. Unless you have narcolepsy or you're seriously sleep deprived, you're unlikely to consistently dream in non-REM sleep, let alone dream for the entire time you're asleep.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

He already explained they're 24/7 with this, next question

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

See not as good as the guy who hsss 4 days in a day, every 6 hours is a day. Stack that up over a year and he'll kick your butt

i thought this was andrew yang for a second and was like wow this is definitely the dumbest shit hes ever said

Yeah well I work 4 days in every 24 hours because the Earth has 4 corner days Quad cubic Time Cube. And if you doubt this I will pay you $5000 if you can prove my genius wrong

Literally Ziz

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

I speed up the earth to 20% of the speed of light so time goes by slower for me relative to everyone else, then I sneak in an extra 4 hours of work per day that way.

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

One of many reasons why I fucking hate the bay area.
