25‑foot Ganesha statue made entirely of green bananas. Created by the Natraj Club in Sambalpur, Odisha, India, using over 5 tons of bananas. After the festival, the fruit is distributed to devotees and the needy. –Evil Empire

Next time you post a photo online, add a Banana‑Ganesha beside it to help add scale. :) 🖍🤖

Humans do nothing.

The dog is forced to work.

Larry acts selflessly.

    Larry can smell the truffles. That's why he digs in the clean ground. Don't wanna accidentally touch one of those!

    There's never been a team that hasn't, at some point, had a member who produced nothing of value. That's Larry. He's on the team.

    Teams are a Venn diagram. Larry is on team “dig holes” and, to him, all this business about finding something is just pulling away from Larry’s message.

    "He is empathically not on the team"

    What? He's 200% empathically on the team, how can that be misunderstood? Empathically being there and just es excited to do the work has nothing to do with how go they are on the actual task of finding the truffles.

    I know this is the cats community, but my old dog was similar. Sometimes I'd be looking for something on the ground, like a four-leaf clover or something I dropped. She didn't know what I was looking for, but she'd come by with intense interest in whatever I was sifting through. If I were to start digging, she would have started digging, too.

    It was funny when it snowed and I'd get the snow shovel. She'd follow me and start digging at piles of snow without any clear direction or goal.

    That's called Imposter Syndrome. It's when you feel like you're not suited to your job and is actually very common amongst charlatans like you who don't have a clue what you're doing and are causing so many problems for everyone else but purely by chance they haven't realised yet or maybe they have and are going to publicly confront you about it any second now

    Larry instructs them on what to do and how to do it, but he damned sure isn’t going to do the work for ‘em. This ain’t no kindergarten and that ain’t Larry.

    Day 13

    The hooman still thinks I'm trying to work for him. The fool actually believes my feigned incompetence! Amusing.

    The dog is still not fully receptive of my pro-union stance, but he is beginning to ask questions. I believe that with a little more time, he will come around. Once I've established him as my first canine ally, the others will be more amenyable.

    Lastly, the hooman has been very stingy with the treats! This is unacceptable. It will be the first item on the agendya after we unionyaize.

    Signed,
    "Larry"

    Psychologically, seeing someone perform at a task worse than you can make you more motivated to perform that task well.

  • source
  • hideshow 1 child comment
  • [–] 1 point 4 months ago*

    Seeing someone being kept around even though they perform badly can just also make you quit internally. I'd refuse to put in any decent work when it's obviously possible to be kept around and paid while not doing anything productive. Performing well in such cases just means I'm doing the other's job too and their salary should be mine on top of what I already earn.
