They were pretty clear with the job for Office Space, they worked for a bank/financial institution and had to update the software for Y2K so the years could accommodate 4 digits. That's why they were able to take push an exploit that allowed them to keep the rounded penny in a transition for their scheme, which may or may not have been inspired by Superman III.

They sold paper at Dunder-Mifflin? It was pretty clear

The premise of Office Space was that they were correcting the Y2K bug. And this description of a small, over-managed, haphazardly administered IT company is a very sincere reflection of how the industry functioned in the 90s. The punchline at the end - where you've got Ron Livingston shoveling asphalt with zen satisfaction while Diedrich Bader shakes his head in disgust - really does sum up the Dumb Guy attitude towards bullshit-but-ultimately-pretty-cushy office work of the era. But I wouldn't say they were doing nothing.

The Office was a reflection of dying backwards industry - in this case, the paper industry in Midwest Pennsylvania - that attract a certain assemblage of idiots and assholes and failkids in its waning days. This was more a story of a historically productive industry dying out.

American Psycho is much more about the Wall Street peak of power and the sadomasochistic personalities that populate it. I think its more comparable to Fight Club, in so far as it's a story of someone driven insane by the higher end business world and left to discover how thin the veneer is between civilization and barbarity.

And feeding stray cats to ATMs

American Psycho

That's why we call those people executives.

They bring you to sing, regardless the talent.

There are some claimed benefits of cold showers that don't really hold up, as far as I understood. Like for muscle growth after a workout for example. And for waking you up, any shower will do that to you. Even a splash of water in your face. 👍

It's a myth because hot shower wakes you up just as good. Just today I blasted myself with hot shower after rough sleep and I got that "wow" feeling in how quickly I seemingly opened my eyes and felt fine

I need luke warm to cold showers T_T else my skin actually will fall off and I will die from boiled body

Sounds very painful. Unless you have shit temperature as your hot.

Just like doing the dishes then I guess.

Protein has also a high energy density, although less than fat. No matter how the body metabolizes it; if you don't poop it undigested out or work it off, you will carry it around.

Well... Skyr is a jogurt, yes? A long-lasting high-calories food for storage, made from the high-calories food for a baby, no? Basically cheese minus (and i do like cheese and Skyr).

I mean, sure, there is worse you could eat for breakfast. But i do think the balance is off.
