A video about the historical work-day one of my favorite YouTubers (Historia Civilis) released a few months ago, I think everyone should watch it: https://youtu.be/hvk_XylEmLo
His videos about Roman-era politics & important battles are also great :)

thx Henry Ford!
Our Ford, hallowed be thy name.
Make sure to thank him for the unhinged antisemitic conspiracies too.
Why? The Ford Motor Company literally tried crushing unions. And unions made the 40 hour/5 day work week.
I remember working from 6 am to 6 pm. Who actually needs to see the sunlight? 😭
Its my turn to use the sun!
I work 3rd shift. The less sun I see, the better.
You do realize that it was invented by people fighting desperately for work to not be 10 hours a day 6 days a week, yes?
Nah, man. Satan is the man who made 8 hours a day look like a fantastical demand back then.
Backwards. Satan was a bro and tried to tell god to take a chill pill when he was being a fuckwad but God was "like no U, go to hell" and he did and now we bow to the corporate overlords as God intended.
Plot twist: OP intended the comparison as a compliment.
