Why were people of past decades in so much better shape?

If you were an accountant today spending 10000+ hrs in front of a screen you'd spend that amount of time back then in front of stacks of paper

This.
Or calculator, draft table, assembly desk, etc

Shame

This. I literally met a computer science employee who admitted to working only about 3 hours in an 8 hour work day. He was asian and skinny but man. Just goes to show why the grunt workers get treated like crap. Lots of upper management folks don't have a clue the amount of work that goes in. Also attributes to why America is normalizing a 50-60 hour work week. I live in a semi small suburban area and it's popping up all over. What a shame.

My last job I actually only worked about 4 or 5 hours out of my shift.
Usually that was because there literally wasn't anything else to do.

Less highly processed food; more incidental excercise

Man. That's somethin

Fat people didn't go to festivals back then.

Who says they were? There's always been fat unfit people.

Anyway, we have more """conveniences""" today which makes it easier to sit on your ass more.

I think I bent my spine permanently from sitting in front of the computer so much.

If I stand up straight I can see part of the spine poking out in my mid back area kinda like in pic related, except I'm leaner and more muscular, which makes it standout more.

I don't think its correctable.

It actually sucked.
While place was under tight surveillance.
No cell phones, non work reading or surfing allowed.
Asked for and got more responsibilities.
Still not enough to fill more than Monday and Tuesday if I even worked at 85%.

>and only this
Uhhh, are you some 14 year old? That's not all there is to it. 34 year old boomer here. Obviously, the acceptance of "living your best life", "you doing you", and "yolo" - this whole mentality has affected people to do as they please, not as they should. People eat shittier food, at a higher rate, and don't do what they feel is inconvenient, only convenient things, because doing what's hard is not doing what you want. It's why dudes cut their dicks off instead of just being fags and fucking other dudes, it's why women whore themselves out more than before, it's why there is so much obesity in america. It isn't simply "there's more to do inside". There is clearly an issue with discipline and basic knowledge of health, that is being willfully rejected in order to live a life of gluttonous behavior.

50—60 work week is called slavery and not work. Especially if 50% of your population needs to work that much to cover basic costs of living.

Welp that sucks, I'm currently working as a law intern in muncipality office (Balkan) and can do whatever I like on computer if there aren't papers to process and can leave earlier.

>Implying majority of time has not traditionally been necessary to devote to survival?

so, you think the decrease in level of education/discipline from parents and school has nothing to do with it? Nor the perfection of sociology and psychoanalysis for the purpose of mass marketing? Nor the complete monetisation of mass media in favor of consumerism and subjective takes on everything, disregarding facts for clicks and add revenue?

That's a meme and it was a spiritually fulfilling activity regardless.

Like any empire, America must utilize a slave class and that class are what people refer to as "wageslaves".
It unironically hasn't. Pick up a history book once in a while, or just think about it for two seconds. For most humans in a natural state, there were long periods of idleness punctuated by intense bursts of work.

Work is less active
Entertainment is less active
Fast food is cheaper are more easily available
It’s more acceptable to be fat

These are the only things I can think of at the moment.

Yup this.

Not to say their diets were fantastic or deliberate in an absolute measure. And more than 100 years ago plenty of people were deficient in one thing or another because of underdeveloped food distribution. That's why people were much shorter on average.

But give most people all the kinds of food they possibly want, make them sit in a car for an hour plus a day, make almost all entertainment sedentary, make work sedentary or a hell of a lot less active a decade ago and you have a recipe for fatness

Based.

imagine how good we would've looked if we were born 100 years ago

Capitalism filled our food with poisons

Boomers were way worse about this. Laziest and most entitled generation.

Because that was before runaway hypergamy happened. Women actually had to put some effort into themselves. Nowadays any 2/10 hambeast will still somehow get a decent guy to give her attention/dick, so they have no reason to even bother.

You know the meme of women getting fat after they've gotten married because they've already locked a man down? It's like that, but in terms of an entire society.

This is not Jow Forums, why are you making this about women lol

That's a valid reason you incel

Women are half of the population and they're getting fat as fuck too, retard. Also I have no comment on men since I don't give a shit what other guys look like. Not my problem, I'm not fucking them.

>Hypergamy happened

What incel shit are you talking about? Women have always been engineered to seek out the highest quality mates, nothing's changed on that front

>incel

I've been an unemployed faggot for the last two months, and while I genuinely do miss working and being productive, holy fuck are there a lot of lost human beings living in direct misalignment on this planet.

My ex-girlfriend slept over last night, and she was mumbling about how she needed to check her email when she woke up for some project at work.

I'm sure that sounds normal to you, but for me, being off for 2 months, holy shit does that sound like a dark and stressful reality I wouldn't do for quite some sum of money.

Yeah, dumb blog post. Definitely looking to work on my own terms when I very soon run out of money and have to get back in the swing of things. But yeah, this experience has certainly highlighted how utterly INSANE working is, being stressed out over mundane, absolutely dogshit and meaningless dead end jobs that genuinely take more than they give in peoples' lives.

And I even genuinely work hard, and am the kind of faggot who would have told someone like me they need to man up and work before. Doesn't really surprise me at all that 89% of people on the planet hate their lives under this current model.

Pictures such as this make me ponder what being happy is like

That's probably just genetic user

Comparatively very low PUFA consumption and basically none of them restricted calories or worked out.

That’s what Jow Forums can do to you when you’re only in your 20s

your spine isn't fucked dude. its just genetics

Fat girls have a dozen orbiters now, shamu is getting plowed by chad we have become a society in the worst possible way.

They weren’t more fit they were just less fat

This.

Who is that lady? She's lovely

weren't women whoring themselves out way way more in the 60s? which I'm pretty sure this pic was taken in

Less sugar.
I was in japan for 5 months and the average convenience store has healthy more or less fresh foods ready to go at all times. Compare that to the average american gas station and what do we have? Filth and candy.

Yeah but no internet so they whored to whoever was around. Now with social media they all whore to the same guys. I'm still getting laid but with 40% more of the whores -> "corporate wage slave permawhores" instead of whore -> "mediocre wife", that means 40% less dudes will have a passable family. Even if you're not in that 40% your friends or relatives will be. Net happiness is down across the board.

What the fuck did people even do at that time all day?! no pc, no tv no phone. I get bored so fucking quickly.

Japan has an obsession with freshness though. Think of the cultural shift that would have to happen to replace Twinkies in gas stations.

Why not sit back and watch it crumble lol

I currently work about 3 hours out of my 8 hour shift.

>Net happiness
Part of this is also a consistent "grass is greener" effect due tothe internet making the world smaller. People are more aware of how others live their lives than ever before and always want the things they see online rather than working towards a more immediate goal.

They fucking werent you delusional niggers. Go back and look at famous guys who were considered in good shape or muscular back then. By todays standards they are completely DYEL.
>inb4 muh Arnie
Yeah he was an exception to the rule and was like a god

>it can't be this reasonable conclusion it has to be this myriad of conspiracy theory shit!

This big criticism of modernity. Medieval peasant didn't work much in terms of hours. However, work was backbreaking and a cold could kill you and all your infant children.

The idea that it is possible for a human to work a sustained 50 hour week, most of year, is stupid and unrealistic. People procrastinate, work inefficiently. Office is terrible, unnatural environment that requires humans to suppress and divert almost all natural drives. Will be seen as great abuse of human spirit in times ahead.

People used to go outside, do things, play sports, build a community, garden, etc.

Now we have to plan a hike lol.

Forget fast food, food in general is comprised primarily of bullshit anymore, particularly in the US. Also let's not forget the insane exposure to BPAs kids growing up in the 80s and 90s had. I'm pretty sure between that and the shitty diet my (((single mom))) raised me on, I'm essentially fucked for life.

>this was considered muscular in the 80s

Umm. Isnt it easier to just be a fag and fuck other guys than to pay for expensive cock removal surgery and then dealing with all that bullshit
>it's why women whore themselves out more than before
Except werent the 60-70s known for their rampant STD epidemics?

Idk user it seems like you might be full of shit.

Ya zoomin?

Are people itt really espousing the "manual labor is good honest hard work and superior to office work" meme?

They fucked and sucked

Both have pros and cons.

Him and hopper both die at the end of season 3

judging by the after credit scene hopper is probably alive

Because you’re an addict.

I didn’t know there was one
Thanks boo

Yeah. Most people choose it. Wages would be much higher if people banded together more. But lots of people are too self centered and focused on their own "dreams" to give that up. You can cause more demand and higher wages or better treatment simply by starving the company of workers. That's what unions do and that's why they actually work.

I recently started back at an old security position because I was bored a little with my 1099 job. They literally put people outside for hours on end in like 90 degree humid weather. One dude even had a stroke. I had 2 heat exhaustions last summer. Some guys just deal with it but that is downright stupid for 11.25 an hour.

*Fewer office jobs

There was far more office jobs before the computer.

Good.

Girls maybe. Gym cultures exploded. The average man was skinny as fuck for as long as we've had photographs and no doubt longer.

A committed made it bodybuilder or strength athlete would be a freakshow act even a century ago.

The barbell as we know it isn't even a century old.

And brainlet? What does that have to do with my post? People have back then might have been skinnier on average, but they werent neccesarily in better shape like OP claims.

Not really. Ive done manual labor its fucking miserable. Not saying office work doesnt have cons. But i dont see what pros manual labor has. Definitely none that would put it above an office based job in my opinion.

Are you retarded nigga? LOL
Don’t ever post here retard lmfao

You might just not be a very active person.

Except i am in decent shape dumb ass. The problem with manual labor was that the hours were so long it was harder to fit workouts in. And thats not even mentioning the fact that oftentimes i was so physically exhausted i didnt even want to workout.

I never said anything about in shape, dumbass. And you proved my point by saying you couldn’t workout after a long day of work. You just aren’t an active, energetic person.

>work 12 hour shift doing manual labor
>physically tired afterwards so finding the energy to get a good workout in is difficult
>"bro you just arent an active person"
Yeah fuck off. Your posts are actually coming off as proof that you have never worked manual labor in your life.

Navy SEALs go through hell week and you think it’s hard to workout after a day of work?

>comparing hell WEEK to ones daily routine
>having to name drop the military
Wow user...

Just admit you’re a bitch.

Just admit that youve never worked manual labor (probably not a stretch to assume aby job) in your life

You have to be at least 100 to post here

Attached: Untitled.png (335x106, 4K)

Worked manual labor for several years. I don’t know what to tell you. You might be older so I’ll give you a pass.

>start a new job
>workplace ergonomics session
>Guy comes to my room, checks the seat / desk / monitor height and all that
>"You know user, humans definitely weren't meant to sit in front of a screen all day, but since you're probably going to do that for another ~40 years we better make sure everything is fine"

Is there actually anyone that really likes this prospect? I have no plan b (yet),but like hell I'm going to sit in front a screen in an office 5 days a week AND on the weekend. At least on the weekend I can choose what to do

Im sure you did. Lets hear what you did. Btw I only touched on the surface what makes manual labor shit tier for someone who is trying to be fit.

>end of 8-10 hours of warehouse order picking by hand (2nd job)
>feel like shit
>change clothes, feel lighter
>drive 10 minutes to gym with Gatorade
>fully restored
>crank that shit out
>shaking after
>that post-workout shake and then meal

So good.

>before runaway hypergamy

You know millenials/zoomers are having less sex, right?

Yeah if I worked/got paid on a task basis I'd be done in a few hours every day. Sadly there's no way for the company to quantify that

nope, started internship recently and decided there's no way in hell I'm working a 9-5 office job. That shit is soul sucking and I see it in almost every one of my coworkers, even the (few) young, fit ones

I want to live, not sustain

He's right tho, it's about the mindset

Nigger

He is it about a mindset nigger? Its about having literally less time to devout to it and comparing one week to someones everyday routine.

>12 hour shift working derricks on a drilling rig
>absolutely fucking beat afterwards
>also completely filthy covered in oil and grease
>on top of that have an hr commute back to my apartment if i am lucky

Yeah sure some of this might be limited to O&G. But forgive me if after all that i dont always get a great workout in.
