   @WashedOutGundamPilot hes under selling the 14 hour work day that was more common, but thats only the period of time youd be working not the duration. a shopkeep would be available for that time, no "looking like your working", no psychoticly finicing with shelfs, just generically there, no customers? your on break then. blacksmith would work 2 hours then be around his shop for 12, got somewhere to go, put for lunch, cant be bothered, fuck you stores closed come back in 15 same way european restaurants still are

     @gav @WashedOutGundamPilot there's always stuff to do in an agrarian society
     
     but only a small slice of the work was time critical (planting/harvesting, animals giving birth, etc) and a lot of the work was low intensity and done in parallel with community socializing

     @deprecated_ii @gav Modernists assume it was like life on the plantation, despite the fact you can see exactly how work has felt for millenia watching your dad & uncle tear down an engine over the weekend
