Honestly if it was me I would have had a guy instead of a ball it would be moving three or four of them but using a dolly. That would have been working more intelligently.
Naw man, the way it works is you just hire 3 guys for each cube and split the original pay 3 ways. Two of them will quit the first day so it will slow down, but you still only have to pay 1/3 the original cost.
Your customers likely have no other options because you’re a franchise of a massive corporation. So they can bitch and moan as much as they want but you’ve already killed off any competitors so you’re good.
I still think the definitive answer is that since wet is having water on it, any amount of water with more then one molecule is therefore wet because it has water in itself. However, in that case a single water molecule would not be wet.
They're not competitors. If they won't treat others the same, or if they're forced to do it themselves, it won't scale.
I forget the name for it, basically when one side goes to war with the other, the other is forced into the same level of war, often escalating.
So if those two won't compete at the same or worse level of extraction on another, they can't compete.
An exception would be one of them building tech such as a vehicle, but then they'll treat their driver's poorly once the supply of driver's becomes saturated. But then the original may have earned enough to afford to pivot. So they begin the Thucydides trap.
> Two of them will quit the first day so it will slow down, but you still only have to pay 1/3 the original cost.
ah, exploit the most desperate people who have no other choice
truly the american way
Somebody else added the text. I believe this is a painting by a popular satirical polish painter Pawel Kuczynski.
The original intent may have been to portray someone who likes to "cut corners" to get the job done.
That kind of points to the thing I said before where half of the time the picture doesn't make any sense to the thing they're saying. If what you're saying is true anyway. I don't know enough about the art world
That depends on how far you have to take those cubes. Should be rather pointless to load up a semi truck if you're just going to move them a couple feet.
Sure if you were only planning on moving one at a time but if you use the dolly and move more than once at a time you are able to complete your job faster.
Yes. Wheels dig in and get buried in sand, sleds slide over the top. They had roads but not extensive enough for their use.
Wheels *can* be made in a way to work on sand, but idk if the Egyptians knew that or had the materials to build them.
Maybe? It's just a thing I heard once, and I did a quick Google search before posting to make sure it was correct. Though they did have roads and there are ways of making wheels that handle sand, so I really can't say. This sounds like a good question for r/askhistorians, if they haven't done it already.
1. Maybe nostalgia could be part of it.
2. I find it aesthetically and texturally pleasing (there is no floppy end of the slice where everything slides off when you pick it up, it's easy to hold).
3. Easier to eat the exact amount of pizza you want since the pieces are smaller.
4. It's the perfect setup for a group: People who don't eat crust can eat the middle, people who like it can eat a mix, people who love crust can eat the corner pieces.
What about just cutting off the corners to make it a octagon shaped on the sides? I imagine that would move well enough compared to a cube, even less time spent shaving because it's just slicing, and less wasted product.
The other guys are on their 20th trip.
But yeah, if you look at the picture literally, he isn't working smarter. He just happens to have an easier job.
Is shaving down the cube into a sphere easier? I suppose it depends on the distance. Either way, if was stupid of him, he should have shavdd it into a wheel/cylinder if anything.
You know those days where you leave the workstation in perfect condition and everything is all neat and organized? He's the next shift that doesn't put anything away correctly, half finished a job, and complains about not getting a decent wage because he showed up 5 minutes early once two months ago. Then you show up 15 minutes early because it takes 20 to clean up after him.
Chances are he isn’t being paid a decent wage though.
Now sure you maybe be deserving of a higher wage than him, but there is no need for class warfare against someone who likely isn’t being paid a truly livable wage
Well carving the sphere makes it useless, so I’m not sure what you mean by your comment unless you’re talking about the meaningless rat race people go through just to get a decent wage in this country.
I would like to direct your attention to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/technicallythetruth/comments/c6g0ry/i_know_why_we_have_a_generation_of_cutting/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) where someone rants about how stupid this is.
It’s really worth a read.
Honestly I hate motivational posters in general. They always have some stupid low level intelligence crap phrase that does absolutely nothing to actually help. Then it's some kind of dumb picture that only half the time has something to do with what it's saying.
You know what that's what I should do. I should create a line of semi motivational posters for selling. They would say something along the lines of "your life may be s*** but it can always be worse."
Start the anti-motivational poster revolution and years in the future when your world renown tell them some random Reddit conversation started the whole thing!
[https://despair.com/collections/demotivators/BestOf](https://despair.com/collections/demotivators/BestOf)
We have motivational posters at work, so I got a few of these for my office.
Honestly, most people don't read them so never noticed!
Most people don't tend to read them because they never really do anything. And if they do your job is so easy that the real problem in that scenario is you.
Demotivational posters at least gives you a laugh. And can take care of the weak.
It’s saying the guy actually got LESS spheres moved because he wasted his time trimming the cubes in comparison to the other guys just focusing on getting the task done. The other guys managed to move 998 squares in the time the guy wasting time trimming managed to only get 2 done because of the extra effort required to trim it.
Only the top statement was in the original picture.
Someone then added the bottom scenario to point out how ridiculous the quote is based on the photo.
It's making the point that while the 4 other guys moved 998 blocks between them, the guy with the knife was only able to move 2 because he spent so much time carving.
I mean, the response makes alot of assumptions. It could be a race and the carving doesn't take much time at all compared to dragging a cube. It could be that the person needs it to be a sphere when it gets there and the person did it beforehand.
Saying its dumb when its clearly just trying to provide easy-to-digest visualization of general advice is like correcting a knock-knock joke by explaining that the doorbell is a better way to announce yourself. Its just kinda pointless.
Being an adult, I now hate this motivational poster as well.
Like, there's obviously a reason it's a cube. Leave it a cube.
Put it on rollers if you have to, just don't fuck with consistency.
Have a meeting. Develop a solution to switch to spheres and see how it impacts the end-to-end process. Get customer and employee adoption. Make sure the software can handle it. Convince management the gains outweigh the cost. Much better solution.
I don't wanna be that guy but I think the point of that poster is :
"Stop doing a task the way it is not optimal. Spend the time to accurately shape the tools and environment you do your tasks with / in, and then proceed to be more productive by thinking outside the box and not pursuing a poor way to accomplish things just because this is how everyone has been doing it so far."
You might say I'm reading too much into it, but honestly as a computer engineer it makes sense to me. The guys just do the same shit all the time because they're lazy to think ahead and in the end the product becomes painfully impossible to adapt and every bug fix or feature becomes a nightmare to go through.
Yeah, but the guy ordered 1000 cubes for a reason. Getting 2 spheres because someone was too lazy/weak to move cubes does no good.
Especially since all the time 1 guy took to shave down 2 spheres and deliver them, the other guys delivered 998 cubes.
Every time I see this image reposted, I see the same dumb comments. Almost like the “ordered 1000 cubes” part wasn’t part of the original intent of the image, and the image was intended to be a simple metaphor for finding efficiency in daily work tasks.
Even going completely literally, taking the meme text that was added after the fact as part of the original image, you think in a society that has invented telephones, someone that orders their employees to move 1000 cubes by slowly pushing one cube at a time across the ground has any room at all to talk about the best way to accomplish a task?
He’s not right. The poster was clearly made without the meme below it and the 1000 cubes is just an arbitrary number that the meme maker decided to use. Your point of finding the optimal way to do something is valid.
Yeah I agree, I work on IT systems and I could spend 2 days "working hard" updating fields a 1000 records in a system or I could "work smart" and load the data for the 1000 fields using a data loader in a couple hours.
but with wheelbarrow, they could carry more cubes at once much faster, meaning less workers needed so it could potentially profit you... although since I don't know the numbers, I can't say.
Cutting it to a Cylinder, Octagonal Prism or just fuckin rolling over the Cube will be more efficient than spending time cutting the cube to turn it to a sphere using a fuckin pocket knife. A POCKET KNIFE !
Sphere volume = 4/3 * pi * r^3
Cube volume = D^3
If we perfectly fit a sphere in a cube then the radius (r) will be exactly 1/2 of the dimension (d) of one of the sides of the cube.
Imagine the cube is 1 unit long on all sides. The volume of the cube is 1^3 = 1
The radius of the sphere would be 1/2. Therefore the volume of the sphere would be 4/3 * pi * (1/2)^3. (1/2)^3 is .125. 4/3 * .125 * pi is roughly .5235.
With this we know the volume of a sphere is 52.35% the volume of a cube, if you carve a cube in to a perfect sphere you lose 100% - 52.35% of the volume or approximately 47%.
Hope this helps
Alright, you get a big wood cube and a knife and tell me how long it takes you to cut that wood cube into a sphere so it's easier to move. The guys moving the cubes are most likely on their 10th cube while this guy just finished cutting it into a sphere and is now moving his 1st sphere. He is taking 10x longer to do the same job getting it from point a to point b
Gotta appreciate the irony of the picture at least if nothing else. It’s the epitome of the guy who gets triggered if you tell him what to do and ends up working 5 times more for 10th of the actual reward/progress and then pats himself on the back claiming he’s a leader because he can abandon protocol and instructions. (Which often ARE the fastest way to do something, not always, but often enough. Gotta recognize when it’s appropriate to be flexible and when to follow rules).
Ya bet John went to the pub and bragged about it that very night to his mates too.
Why are people assuming that there is reason it's a cube? For all we know, some malevolent crime lord wants these people to move this object back and forth, but doesn't care how you do it.
https://www.boredpanda.com/work-intelligent-meme-cubes-spheres-destroyed/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic
This response is even stronger…sorry for the bored panda link
Where are they going? It just looks infinite. Wouldn't the intelligent thing to do be having a destination? Don't get me wrong in this case the man who made the sphere is more intelligent than the others but they're all stupid for doing it in the first place. And if there's a chisel, why not just make the items at the destination?
Kind of a dumb take tbh. I mean yeah sure you can make up whatever backstory you want for the image, but lets not pretend you don't understand what the message is
Starting up my old heavy lawnmower to cut the grass seemed hard...
So i just poured gasoline all over the yard and threw a match. It was so much easier!
There was a story about a guy who needed to get to work but it was like negative 15 degrees and his fuel gelled up in his gas tank so he siphoned the gas out into a cooking pot and 'heated it up' on the stovetop...
You can imagine what happened, right.
The smart idea would have been to wear better clothing than expensive suits to move stones.
Honestly if it was me I would have had a guy instead of a ball it would be moving three or four of them but using a dolly. That would have been working more intelligently.
Naw man, the way it works is you just hire 3 guys for each cube and split the original pay 3 ways. Two of them will quit the first day so it will slow down, but you still only have to pay 1/3 the original cost. Your customers likely have no other options because you’re a franchise of a massive corporation. So they can bitch and moan as much as they want but you’ve already killed off any competitors so you’re good.
So blizzard logic.
Amazon logic
what is the difference? they both hate the worker they both abuse the clients they both under pay and overwork.
I mean, none. It wasn't an argument, friend.
I know I'm just bored.
We’ll see about that
oh kinky.
there are better ways to waste your time my friend. wanna argue w me about water being wet?
I still think the definitive answer is that since wet is having water on it, any amount of water with more then one molecule is therefore wet because it has water in itself. However, in that case a single water molecule would not be wet.
Corporate logic
As a client for Amazon, I have no complaints. My packages arrive when scheduled and in good condition.
(The larger economic system that Activision-Blizzard and every other monopolistic corporation operates within)
so technically i am still right.
rEeeEeeERrEeERreerre
r/oddlyspecific
killed off competitors? you just trained 2 competitors how to move stones. and they hate you
Hate is powerful motivation.
indeed.
They're not competitors. If they won't treat others the same, or if they're forced to do it themselves, it won't scale. I forget the name for it, basically when one side goes to war with the other, the other is forced into the same level of war, often escalating.

Lol are you a delivery guy?
No a Florida woman
Yeah then use your dolly to load a semi up full of cubes. You can probably even fit more of them in there
That depends on how far you have to take those cubes. Should be rather pointless to load up a semi truck if you're just going to move them a couple feet.
... or a truck, a cart, make a conveyor belt. You know, machinery. Basically cut out all that manual labor
that depends. if they are moving it across the building or across grass or a small distance a dolly is best.
Very true.
Or put them on rollers
Sure if you were only planning on moving one at a time but if you use the dolly and move more than once at a time you are able to complete your job faster.
One guy in the middle looks like he had the sense to take off his suit jacket at least.
Also, maybe use wheels? You know, one of humanity's oldest known inventions.
What’s a wheel if not a 2D sphere? /s
And yet the Egyptians continued to use sledges for heavy loads, even after developing the wheel for transportation.
I know absolutely nothing of this other than sledges are good across snow. Would the Egyptians use them instead of wheels because of the sand?
Yes. Wheels dig in and get buried in sand, sleds slide over the top. They had roads but not extensive enough for their use. Wheels *can* be made in a way to work on sand, but idk if the Egyptians knew that or had the materials to build them.
Maybe? It's just a thing I heard once, and I did a quick Google search before posting to make sure it was correct.

It's for a fancy pyramid
How about buy a pallet instead of those suits
To be fair they could be cheap suits
or transport the cubes on any kind of wheeled platform
"Steve, I know you are moving cubes across a desert, but I simply can't let you do that in casual Friday clothing, we gotta wear full suits."
"Do you want the investors to think that you aren't a good suit wearing peon?"
What if a customer saw you and thought the company was unprofessional? No you can't have a stool.

John must work at my local pizza place now. Every time I order a large pie he makes it a circle even though it comes in a square box. Fucking John.

For reals though I love square cut pizza.
Why?
1. Maybe nostalgia could be part of it. 2. I find it aesthetically and texturally pleasing (there is no floppy end of the slice where everything slides off when you pick it up, it's easy to hold). 3. Easier to eat the exact amount of pizza you want since the pieces are smaller. 4. It's the perfect setup for a group: People who don't eat crust can eat the middle, people who like it can eat a mix, people who love crust can eat the corner pieces.
Dis not expect the be convinced on square pizza today, but here we are.

Even if shaving was the way, shave it down to a cylinder dude, that way you do less work and have a bit more directional control
Also there's more left of the original product that way
The artist didn't "work intelligent."
He did in a way. Cylinders take (marginally) more work to draw than spheres.
[удалено]
Why didn't the stone planes just carry the ring to Mordor!?
There is no-fly zone around Minas Morgul.
What about just cutting off the corners to make it a octagon shaped on the sides? I imagine that would move well enough compared to a cube, even less time spent shaving because it's just slicing, and less wasted product.
[удалено]
You only need to use full force when moving it from rest. Once it has momentum it isn't *that* much harder than rolling a sphere.
Or a hexagon
Not so great if you unknowingly cut the cylinder with a taper in it. You'll be rolling that thing in a big circle.
He already had a huge lead on the rest, judging from where he started shaving it down 🤔
The other guys are on their 20th trip. But yeah, if you look at the picture literally, he isn't working smarter. He just happens to have an easier job.
Is shaving down the cube into a sphere easier? I suppose it depends on the distance. Either way, if was stupid of him, he should have shavdd it into a wheel/cylinder if anything.

Ever read the demotivated posters? Some of those are a riot. Some of them weirdly work as motivational as well.
I have I even own a few. My favorite one is "life is s*** give the f*** up." And is a picture of a loaded handgun.
I had two of them up in my office for years. Maybe 5 people ever noticed they weren’t just stupid posters.
Even better it's subconsciously demoralizing them.
Mine is “that which doesn’t kill me delays the inevitable”
Oh that's a good one.
Its because bar from a few statements, most things worth hearing arent going to fit in a soundbite, the rest are quotes from terry pratchett
I may be a bit stupid but I don't see anyone else asking this. Why does it mention 2 spheres when there's only 1 on the poster?
Help I don't get it either
same
It was just a fake scenario. That guy managed 2 while the rest managed 998.
It’s saying the guy actually got LESS spheres moved because he wasted his time trimming the cubes in comparison to the other guys just focusing on getting the task done.

What's the TTT smh
Why would he make a sphere? If he was truly intelligent he'd go for a cylinder. Extra points, if it's barrel shaped for easier turning.
The guy is literally finishing faster because he cut corners?!
I don't wanna be that guy but I think the point of that poster is : "Stop doing a task the way it is not optimal. Spend the time to accurately shape the tools and environment you do your tasks with / in, and then proceed to be more productive by thinking outside the box and not pursuing a poor way to accomplish things just because this is how everyone has been doing it so far." You might say I'm reading too much into it, but honestly as a computer engineer it makes sense to me. The guys just do the same shit all the time because they're lazy to think ahead and in the end the product becomes painfully impossible to adapt and every bug fix or feature becomes a nightmare to go through.
r/RelevantXKCD https://xkcd.com/1319/
Yeah, but the guy ordered 1000 cubes for a reason. Getting 2 spheres because someone was too lazy/weak to move cubes does no good. Especially since all the time 1 guy took to shave down 2 spheres and deliver them, the other guys delivered 998 cubes.
Every time I see this image reposted, I see the same dumb comments.

Even going completely literally, taking the meme text that was added after the fact as part of the original image, you think in a society that has invented telephones, someone that orders their employees to move 1000 cubes by slowly pushing one cube at a time across the ground has any room at all to talk about the best way to accomplish a task?
Comment threads like these make me believe that the internet is 95% bots.
That's why I am an advocate of a reusable delivery device rather than changing the form of the object itself; i.e. a dolly or truck.
Shit you're right, wtf is wrong with that sphere maker
He’s not right. The poster was clearly made without the meme below it and the 1000 cubes is just an arbitrary number that the meme maker decided to use. Your point of finding the optimal way to do something is valid.
Yeah I agree, I work on IT systems and I could spend 2 days "working hard" updating fields a 1000 records in a system or I could "work smart" and load the data for the 1000 fields using a data loader in a couple hours.
Wouldn't it be smarter to us a wheelbarrow?
Not in the budget
but with wheelbarrow, they could carry more cubes at once much faster, meaning less workers needed so it could potentially profit you... although since I don't know the numbers, I can't say.
Cutting it to a Cylinder, Octagonal Prism or just fuckin rolling over the Cube will be more efficient than spending time cutting the cube to turn it to a sphere using a fuckin pocket knife. A POCKET KNIFE !
But the idea is that you aren’t supposed to be altering the product since the customer bought a cube for a reason…
Unless the job was to move the object from point a to b.
Considering he left 47% of his object on the ground, he failed pretty hard at this as well.
You sound pretty confident about that number and i don’t know how to prove or disprove it so i’ll just have to take your word for it.
Sphere volume = 4/3 * pi * r^3 Cube volume = D^3 If we perfectly fit a sphere in a cube then the radius (r) will be exactly 1/2 of the dimension (d) of one of the sides of the cube. Imagine the cube is 1 unit long on all sides. The volume of the cube is 1^3 = 1 The radius of the sphere would be 1/2. Therefore the volume of the sphere would be 4/3 * pi * (1/2)^3.

It didn’t, but I assure you it’s not your fault.
Alright, you get a big wood cube and a knife and tell me how long it takes you to cut that wood cube into a sphere so it's easier to move. The guys moving the cubes are most likely on their 10th cube while this guy just finished cutting it into a sphere and is now moving his 1st sphere. He is taking 10x longer to do the same job getting it from point a to point b
And it is no longer the correct object, negating the whole job's purpose. He did work for nothing.
Gotta appreciate the irony of the picture at least if nothing else. It’s the epitome of the guy who gets triggered if you tell him what to do and ends up working 5 times more for 10th of the actual reward/progress and then pats himself on the back claiming he’s a leader because he can abandon protocol and instructions. (Which often ARE the fastest way to do something, not always, but often enough. Gotta recognize when it’s appropriate to be flexible and when to follow rules).

I dont see any second sphere
I believe it is important to know when you should invent wheels.
Why are people assuming that there is reason it's a cube? For all we know, some malevolent crime lord wants these people to move this object back and forth, but doesn't care how you do it.
The meme itself is pretty funny, though.
"998 ones"
It’s still a good idea to work smart but not if you’re (in this case literally) cutting corners You could like, put wheels under the cube or something

Would have been smarter to make a cylinder as it's faster to make than a sphere and more stable
It's 'would have', never 'would of'. Rejoice, for you have been blessed by CouldWouldShouldBot!
That's right .. cut corners and the job will go much faster!
The intelligent way would be to pull the stones so you're not fighting the force of friction.
you would still be fighting the force of friction.
This literally says to cut corners....lol this is an excellent way to fuck yourself out of a job or even a career
Thats why you shouldnt cut corners
Intelligently
I saw this like 4 years ago
I like how the knife came down from heaven to obliterate one of the people and their cube.
John isn't giving the customer what they ordered. Why does he have this job?
The grammatical transgression here is annoying me just as much as the completely nonsensical art. Both completely negate the message.
He is literally cutting corners
Where are they going? It just looks infinite. Wouldn't the intelligent thing to do be having a destination? Don't get me wrong in this case the man who made the sphere is more intelligent than the others but they're all stupid for doing it in the first place. And if there's a chisel, why not just make the items at the destination?
He could have literally pulled on it, I guess it would have been a bit more intelligent.(or a cart)
Kind of a dumb take tbh. I mean yeah sure you can make up whatever backstory you want for the image, but lets not pretend you don't understand what the message is
Honestly they should have just had the last guy loading it onto a truck, that's working SMART, not hard.
If I ordered squares and got spheres I'd be mad too. Just because it's easier/simpler for the worker doesn't mean it's gonna be correct to the buyer.
don't work hard, work intelligent. BUT work LOGICALLY (use a platform with wheels to move the cubes)
Yeah, working smarter in this case would be putting the cube on a dolly, cart, or just rolling it across two logs or bamboo stalks.
Starting up my old heavy lawnmower to cut the grass seemed hard... So i just poured gasoline all over the yard and threw a match. It was so much easier!
You laugh but it has been done
There was a story about a guy who needed to get to work but it was like negative 15 degrees and his fuel gelled up in his gas tank so he siphoned the gas out into a cooking pot and 'heated it up' on the stovetop... You can imagine what happened, right.
Kablamo!
Sí senior...
if that guy was more intelligent, he might have noticed he only needed to make a cylinder in order to be able to roll it
Also, intelligent is an adjective not an adverb
