Unironically, alpha male shit is a psyop from big corporations to encourage employees to work harder in the hopes of getting imaginary super-raises.

I'm Indigenous and I grew up in northern Ontario in a hunter and gatherer family of hunters and trappers. We did wake up at 4am to go travel, work, set things up, gather and maintain equipment .... so that everything was set for the day. Then when the day came, you know what? ... we sat around and rested as much as we could which was hours of just resting. Because evening would come and you had to prepare for the night. Then rinse and repeat.

Apex shit was all about conserving energy to survive. If nothing was happening, you rested as long and as much as possible because there will come a time when you will need to expend a terrible amount of energy in a short period of time to get work done, to carry out a hunt or to remedy a serious problem.

If you are expending energy all day, every day non stop ... you're doing it for someone else's benefit and you will burn yourself out.

I squirrelmax because I’m acorn pilled.

I'm a software developer. For me, "alpha" means somethings that's still buggy, unfinished and unfit for wide availability.

People concerned with how alpha they are are so silly. So hilariously unaware that they are broadcasting just how deeply insecure they are.

Well squirrels are also strong enough to crack the earth in half, I watched it in a documentary.

I like squirrels.

You mean to tell me that the people at the top, who confidently know they have already won, don't run around like desperate insecure dickheads trying to prove that they are the most valuable worker bee?

On a more serious note, they represent and propagate some of the worst parts of our culture, especially in the US.

According to them (and most of my upbringing) the indicators of leading a good life include money, possessions, greed, excess, and dominating others.

Things that are actually good for us are seen as being crutches for the weak. You know, like community, healthy relationships, generosity, and fulfilling work/hobbies.

I would say it propagates conservative values like innate hierarchy and your worth as a human being equal to your economic output, but plenty of people who don't consider themselves conservatives get wrapped up in it.

Best advice I've seen in a long time.

Gotta get that nut either way!

Squirrel girl is op tho.

Squirrel-core must be hardcore.

Cortisol addicts, all of them

some folks live to get a nut. nothing to cry over

When I wake up in the morning and do my bike rides or lifting, I feel great throughout the day and have more energy. You don't have to be alpha to know a bit if excersice is great and I think you'll find makes you feel better for the rest of the day

Oh that is so fucking funny.

All these alpha male wannabes are just a squirrel trying to get a nut.

No, that's definitely alpha behaviour. Your scheduler is poorly optimised because it's the first build that managed to compile.

Alright i hear what you are saying, but I’m 46 and i wasted far too many years sleeping late and literally just figured out The BEST part of the day is the morning before work has stressed me out. Going to sleep early and getting up with a few hours of peace makes my days so much better.

This may be regional, because i also have the best temperatures for going outside just as the sun is coming up. Later in the day us too hot.

I go to bed by about 10, wake up about 8. Does that make me alpha?

With the lions the females even provide ;)

I would limit myself to two rules:

• sleep 8 hours a day
• find whatever rhythm makes you productive or happy

YouTubers do not know what works best for you. Neither do squirrels, bears and lions.

I'm kittenmaxxing the way I eep all the time and purr loudly, im not an "alpha male" im a soft catgirl :3
