Free drugs for being a good cog? Man now we are talking business perks.
Nicotine : one of the only drugs that makes you a better slave ; therefore, one of the very few legal ones.
Yeah, I mean there were the amphetamines and opiates that they thought made people better workers too but that was just during periods where people hated reality and they realized the disassociation was worse for efficiency so now just back to nicotine.
Why can’t we make our own study that says that the dopamine of watching a live hibachi chef makes us a better slave and at least get a flaming volcano of onion out of this?
The original nazis used meth, but these fash aren’t quite there yet.
I’m holding out for free cocaine
This guy gets it. My company almost does this already by making my Adderall script only $10
Now that’s some cyberpunk dystopian shit. Corpos drugging up employees for productivity.
in the 1960s American cigarette companies used to leave free packs of cigarettes in freshman dorms at the beginning of the school year because at least some of them would get bored and try it.
Don’t worry, the Kent Micronite filter cigarettes helped with cancer thanks to the power of asbestos.
“Your honor, you can’t deny they helped with the cancer…”
I mean that’s not new - tech companies will still advertise “coffee on tap” as a perk to work for them
Can confirm, my time at microslop in the mid 2000s included break rooms with coolers full of every caffeinated beverage you can think of.
And no decaf, at least for the ones I’ve seen.
Hey with the added benefit of addiction they can’t afford to leave the office now!
the whole idea of a coffee ‘break’ was created to pump stimulants into workers to improve productivity.
I think it is the unintended side effect of taking a short break which actually increases productivity.
There are studys that show that constant coffein consumption just make being caffeinated the new normal.
This is why my days are mostly breaks anymore. You should see how productive I am!
Who’s actually going to use these if they’re not already a smoker / vaper? Maybe they’re just providing them so people don’t have to get up and go outside for 5-10 minutes to smoke.
Is coffee not good enough anymore?
Considering the dosage amounts of caffeine that seem normal to people now…
No.
Only because they don’t yet have approval to hand out amphetamines
I already wish them slow cancer so good job.
Man, just modafinil or adderall lol.
I’ve heard Meth keeps you on even longer, the Nazis knew that already with Panzerschokolade.
Is there more footage of Hitler tweaking? Show modern nazis what their shitty “master race” looks like.
Allies used amphetamines too.
I don’t have footage, but there’s a book called Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich by Normal Ohler telling all about the drug use.
That’s fucking hilarious, hitler was a tweaker
Well if you like that, perhaps you’ll also enjoy reading about his deformed genitals.
Looks like random addict from the street, just in less usual attire.
No reason any worker couldn’t just throw em in the trash, right?
I imagine you would be fired and charged for destruction of property and then they would make you feel bad by having you apologize to your coworkers for hindering their ability to put forth more work.
I’m still going outside for a smoke when I get my 15. They are only providing pouches (snuff) so people don’t have to leave their workstation to get their fix.
I don’t smoke, but would still sometimes go out with my colleagues who do smoke.
Yeah. I can’t wait for my complimentary IV and catheter at my cubicle and 0 breaks.
I used to take smoking breaks without smoking cause it wasnt fair to dish them out to only smokers.
At this point I think it’s safe to say we’re locked into the dystopian future and the utopic one was but a dream.
Why not just skip straight to the point and save us all a decade or so. Meth on tap.
Fuck this to hell. I want tobacco to go extinct, not be more accessible.
If there was a button that just made every tobacco plant (and the backups in that one seed vault place) die, I would keep pushing it for days just to make sure it was all gone. Including existing smoking products.
Not sorry not sorry. Addicts all going cold turkey that day.
As a nicotine addict, I wouldn’t advise this. Making every one of us go cold turkey in one moment will be the end of humanity. Nicotine withdrawal is no joke.
I don’t understand your fury to be honest. It’s unhinged. So what happened to make you feel this way?
@oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip @Krauerking@lemy.lol
@aboringdystopia@lemmy.worldFirst, I don’t smoke and never had smoked (not considering the passive smoking from being close to smokers), the only “drug” I use non-frequently is alcohol (a vodka-saké beverage).
This said, your paternalistic implied thought (“drugs are bad, people shouldn’t use drugs”; are their bodies yours, to begin with? Do you happen to have some kind of ownership over other’s bodies? Who gave you this almighty authority, do you happen to be a Demiurgal Archon of sorts?) is missing the forest for the trees.
I’m barely knowledgeable about biology, but I know enough to remember about symbiotic relationships in nature, as well as phylogenetics. The plant responsible for tobacco wasn’t some kind of lab creation, IIRC tobacco plant even predates us homininae, and this means there are certainly species biologically interacting with the tobacco plant, perhaps species reliant of tobacco plant (not necessarily because of nicotine, but because it’s a plant which siphons nutrients and resources from the soil, displacing water and somehow contributing to water cycles).
The moment this Archonic hubris illustrated by your text were to render tobacco extinct, unbeknownst to you, other species would be going extinct as well, and this may include humans due to how food web is so interconnected in ways we’re still trying to figure out. That’s part of why we try to classify species taxonomically and phylogenetically, because this is also valuable for us to identify potential interspecies relationships. I mean, this is exactly what phylogenetics is about: study of evolutionary relationships among biological entities.
So, please, seek some phylogenetics and biology awareness before feeding paternalistic, bigoted anti-drug thoughts. Others bodies aren’t yours for you to wish for control, let alone other species.
this guy is a proto-fascist, everything I don’t like must be forbidden.
And then taking some sadistic pleasure in it.
What a nasty thing.
I would gladly start smoking again just to have the pleasure of blowing my smoke in to this fucker’s face and watching him seethe.
Yes drugs are bad, we should all have to rawdog experiencing the planet boiling.
What an enlightened take, that’s positively upvoted — no less!
Mind your own business.
Well, headache medicine sometimes includes nic… They would probably just switch it to something worse.
Why don’t they just use their job replacing AIs?
