…wait hear me out on this one: slow the rotation down by just a bit, so that a day lasts an equivalent of ~30 hours instead of 24.
Work a full shift. Fuck around with whatever your hobbies are after work until you’ve had your fill and are actually tired enough to sleep. Still get a full 8 hours.
I mean, it’d be great for like 2 weeks, until our corporate overlords decide to stretch an ‘8 hour’ shift to fit the difference, but hey, that’s what guillotines are for.
I think it’d be great for like 2 days. After that your circadian rhythm is sufficiently fucked that you’re somewhat unlikely to still be enjoying yourself.
Maybe after a month or two we’ve mostly adapted and are sleeping 10-12 hours. That still leaves us with a cool 2-4 extra hours, not too shabby.
Alternative proposal: simply change the working day to 6 hours.
Watch that 8 hour workday quickly get moved first to 10 hours (capitalist argument being that it’s the new 1/3rd of the “day”), before ultimately consuming all additional 6 hours and having you work 14 hours straight like some feudal peasant serf.

Down boy! There’s a time and a place, and some of us just want to read some comics, as the world burns all around us, ya’know?
i thought we were going to read comics while we the datacenters
That doge comic reminds me so much of the class struggle outlined in Das Kapital.
The doge has a monopoly on violence
That used to be true in Venice.
you’re right. i could really go for a chimney dog.
nope, i dont want the current heatwave to last longer during the day, if you could make the nights longer I’m on it
I have an idea:
We all work 2 hours a day.
The commute would be longer
