In the distant future when films and tv shows are inevitably made about present what distortions of reality are you expecting to become commonly held beliefs?

They didn't look like that either. Nice reddit factoid bro.
the media is already lying about current events. it's just going to be more of the same.
The issue that future generations will have is not the lack of information about an era, but an over abundance of it. They'll know a lot about how the era because of how many sources they'll have to research it from. The issue is how will they interpret all that information.
Did you know the pyramids used to be covered with shiny gold all over?
People in the future will think that the monolith scene in 2001 was about the iPhone.
People will be baffled by the concept of office work. Factory work they'll understand but actually having to go to a place and sit at a specific computer will sound insane unless you're working for the CIA or whatever.
yes they did
no they wont be
even in 2455 we will have offices because normals are children who need daycare and can't be trusted with their own devices
Oh my science
well you see back in the day phones had wires so if your job was to answer the phone you had to go where the phone was
Imagine having to figure out the right color to paint caesar's anus.
This.
I remember a few years ago back when I used to regularly use that shithole reddit (inb4 hurry durr go back, shut up faggot) there was an article posted about companies demanding people go back to work once covid started clearing up.
Everyone in the comments was bitching and moaning and crying about their rights lmao.
I asked these morons why companies would want to continue paying all the expenses of these buildings and the services required to keep offices running if people were just as productive at home?
None of them had an answer other than to reee and moan about the idea of actually having to do work and do it in a place where they could actually be monitored and not spend the whole day fucking off.
But people had phones at home? Couldn't the office just use a computer to connect home phones with worker phones? And why I know they used to give out cheap cellphones and they still went to the office.
Why would you pay out of your bum for prime italian marble for a statue just to paint over it and make it look like a cheap chinese plastic prop?
Makes no sense
While I have no doubt many of these Redditors took advantage of the pandemic by skipping hours of work a day to clean and fondle their Funko Pops, big firms sign like seven-year leases at a time that they need to eventually justify. Keep in mind plenty renewed their office space lease right before the pandemic hit. If they're still sitting on the real estate they paid for for five more years, yeah they'll probably want people back in the office.
Go back you fucking faggot parasite
humans have already lost the plot

They found micropigments from paint. It was only one statue though and then the retarded hackademics started pushing this meme that they were all painted.
Suck my dick faggot
Sunk cost. If these employees are actually just as productive at home the company can save money by not having to pay for janitorial and regular stationary and copier services etc.
There is no cost avoided or anything made by forcing employees back if indeed they are actually just as productive at home.
No because that means establishing a land line which was expensive as fuck and an unjustifiable cost if there was no guarantee the employee wouldn't quit or be layed off in less than a year.
its shiny white stuff. gold was just the tippy top.
My company downsized their office space by 60% and has saved a ton of money on overhead. Might not work for some industries but it's stupid to generalize about these things.
paint fades away after 1000+ years
What an earth shattering revelation. Definitely wish the time to talk about.
I asked these morons why companies would want to continue paying all the expenses of these buildings and the services required to keep offices running if people were just as productive at home?
Why would you give a shit about this as an employee?
are u autist y or n
If you want to make a nice statue you pick the material that is easiest to work with, marble is very soft and chisels and polishes very well. If you're going to paint it, surely you'll pick the white stone since it adds the most brightness?
Romans didn't really see marble as being particularly exclusive. It was just stone at the end of the day. If you wanted something really fancy you'd go for a bronze cast statue.
Its basic math and your statement seems to agree with me.
Pay $x for result
Pay <$x for same result = more profit
Really? But here all these movies where people call their office from their home, surely landlines were that expensive!
I asked because they were claiming to be just as productive if not more at home.
If that were true then companies could easily save money.
If you could run a business without spending a tonne of money on rent and building services why the fuck would you then pay for it?
Yeah, I agree. They shouldn't.
But what if current films and tv shows are already distortions of reality?
Middle managers became uppity that they don't have anyone to micromanage and productivity os actually going up without these parasites so they pushed for back to office.
I wasn't disagreeing with you.
Ok, but it gets more complicated than that when the firm is large enough. For example, having an entire department devoted to acquiring and managing firm real estate which suddenly finds its existence threatened. All it takes in a given industry is a couple firms deciding to take away WFH and then everyone else does the same because most people are followers, even at this scale.
We could have started working from home twenty years ago or even longer. Many jobs could have been hybridized even before the 90s but they weren't and they wont be.
Working from home either means your employer respects and trusts you or you do unimportant monkey work where your productivity is basically meaningless and ask yourself which category most people are going to fall into.

how ancient roman statues actually looked
It was marble retard. Gold was only at the top.
You care about prime italian marble because of the ancient prestige associated, but back in ancient times no one gave a shit, and being able to paint your rocks with rare pigments was a much bigger flex
yes they did
You had it set on 'whore'.
trust me I was there
The amount of office work will decrease dramatically with digitized automation because a lot of office work is just people answering emails, reading other documents, typing up new documents, etc. This is something that makes sense to do at a specific and secure location if you're say a lawyer because you don't want confidential emails to end up on private servers but if you're just working sales you can literally do that from anywhere in the world.
and being able to paint your rocks with rare pigments was a much bigger flex

Lapis Lazuli was worth as much as gold for its koolaid blue color.
The ancients loved that rare color flex
