“Look at apex predators; they’re all lazy” tells me they don’t understand why that’s problematic in a species whose members that are reading this statistically have access to an order of magnitude more food than they need if they really wanted it, and essentially 100% on-demand – more than any other apex predator could possibly imagine. Humans in developed nations can broadly afford to be so intentionally sedentary at any time they want that they literally die of not moving. (It also tells me they don’t understand ecology at all and are cherry-picking the shit out of “apex predators”; orcas can and do travel 160 km in a day. Humans are long-distance endurance runners.)
What a fucking moron if this is supposed to be a real argument. (Edit: And what a contrived joke if it’s supposed to be one.)
Edit 2: Okay, since everyone wants to shit-talk calling this out as “not being able to take a joke”, here’s their Twitter profile. Literally all they do is trite observations about modern life. They really are just that stupid, so in response to the smug bullshit below: in your face.
I believe this is what the old folks refer to as a “joke”.
It is an ancient form of communication, the goal of which is to induce laughter in the recipients. Factual accuracy is often not a concern, and in fact many jokes lack peer review of any kind.
I mean it just sounds to me like they’re insisting that getting up early and running isn’t good for your physical and mental health when it demonstrably is and modeled that on a narrow class of “apex predators” that they half-paid attention to in a middle school biology class.
Kind of just reads like unironic copium about a sedentary lifestyle. If it’s a joke, then I mean, the basis of the joke doesn’t check out either.
That means that the text in no way represents anyone’s opinion, it’s sole purpose is entertainment. If anything, it’s a jab at the people that claim to do things because of the idiotic and meaningless “alpha” label, not an endorsement of sloth.

Edit: Oops, I was right.
But it’s obviously a joke. (at least to me)

I mean I’ll grant that it’s about as pseudoscientific as “alpha”, so turnabout is fair play.

Where are the jokes? I agree: “This moment brought to you by Lemmy©️” who are completely and consistently media-illiterate.
Nah, “alpha” is pseudoscientific. Jokes are not.
Wow what a whiny little bitch
