Toured a leather co-op in Morocco (Fes) where they process everything naturally. They collected pigeon droppings for similar reasons. Locals call it caca channel.
I very much enjoy the lifestyle that comes with it. It's less stress overall. And it's not exactly a fun place (current state of the world) for me to want to bring a mini me into.
Can we please replace, "a generation of," with just people? People have been doing that because it's woven into the genetic fabric of our social existence. We need to find realistic ways to undo this.
Aa shitposting, this is hilarious. Given some comments though... It's funny. People think this is a new thing. It's just more in your face due to ubiquitous network we live in today. It has always been thus. Or did you think kinks just started after the Internet?
For me, it was a matter of how much I liked my coworkers. Technically I had a small office but we all (except HR and group exec) worked from open cubes, had plenty of huddle rooms, and those of us assigned offices left them free for all to use as huddle rooms or group call rooms.
It was just a good atmosphere. Hybrid model. Ping pong an hour a day, which near everyone participated in. And tea time we all took very seriously.
Covid and acquisition, in no particular order, made that office go away. I'm remote now, and have been for years. I would go back there in a heartbeat.
Random rant. But miss that crew. We still meet for a beer once in a while, though I'm no longer working there and a lot of us moved out of state. Virtual happy hour is actually fun when you like the people on there.
Disclaimer: I have never posted anything on Quora. However, on rather specific subjects, especially things relative to cultures and communities, I've had limited good luck there after Google searches... Even a trash pile at times has more value than we attribute it.
Let's have a Futurama/Avengers cross over.
