How do you know those other planets don't all have 80-100 hour weeks? Maybe aliens are all more like ants or bees and just work non-stop. The reason they never stop here or answer our calls is because they're always at work. 🤷‍♂️

I wonder if ants and bees get flooded with endorphins when they’re endlessly working so 80-100 hour weeks would be just fine for them. We’re apes, we’re supposed to eat berries and weird mushrooms and procreate in the forest, we’re not designed to work any harder than we have to to do those two things.

it could also just be that their planet takes 3 years to orbit their sun and a day lasts 2 weeks, so the workweek could be like 560 hours over there

Yea, but those 336 hour weekends though...
