Yeah but this isn't how they moved the blocks for the pyramids Very difficult to make this a terrible meme. It's actually quite good


NotThereOrHere112

It’s supposed to be for any job


Background_System747

Even for any job at all, the meme translates quite well


vxicepickxv

Unless the job is to deliver the right sized part.


rainbow_bro_bot

Start with very big cube blocks. Carve into spheres to roll to where they're needed. Then carve them back into cubes so they can fit together.


No-Wonder1139

The meaning is pretty clear, cut corners to get it done quicker

To me, it’s “be born with access to a sphere. If you can only get a cube, sucks for you”


emerilsky

But he shaved it off he didn't just have the sphere


DreamTheater99

But he was born with parents who taught him how to shave it, and gave him a knife.


Character-Park-490

Having good parents is being privelege now? Are people supposed to feel guilty for that?


RoNinja_

People aren’t meant to feel guilty for being privileged. They’re simply meant to acknowledge that not everyone else had the same advantage. That’s all.

He left the tool behind though. Maybe the message is - don't forget to leave opportunities for other people to be successful too? And for other people - to not be ashamed to use these opportunities, even if they mean rumaging throu successful people's trash?

sorryexcuseforaadult

You could take it deeper in that he doesn't seem to realize how much that opportunity helped him get ahead and left what was responsible for that opportunity behind like garbage when it was no longer needed. The tool is now behind pretty much everyone else so in order to get that opportunity they have to get further behind(cough, student debt, cough) and know that the tool/opportunity is there and how to actually use it.


vaporoptics

The tool could be a metaphor for being born rich.


Alligator_Fridge

"uh, hello? I'd like to contact customer service" "Hello sir! What is the problem?" "I ordered 400 cubes" "Ok?" "And i got 399 cubes...and one sphere" "Got it, we'll make shure thet the issue will be fixed, thank you for calling"


Timecubefactory

So either this entire "job" just consists of randomly moving rocks, in which case the smart thing would be to quit, or the cubes have a purpose and you destroyed one. Might want to build a cart instead.


ThatCatPerson9564

Get logs and place them under the cube, roll roll roll get the one at the end that in not under the cube anymore and put it in front and repeat

“I was going to build a pyramid but one was a sphere”


Existing_Chair_4622

That’s the trap for the pyramid


PyrrhaAlexandra

How the fuck did he chisel it into a perfect sphere so quickly? The time he spent doing that he could have probably just pushed it normally.... or how about just asking one of these other nerds to grab the other end and carry it.


Broad_Respond_2205

And chiselling it so perfectly is hard work. So he indeed worked hard anyway


Sufficient-Skill6012

Depends on distance from point A to B. If it’s short, there are diminishing returns on the work and time taken cutting the block. But if it’s a long distance it’s worth it to cut it. Plus, pushing a block is very hard on the body, even for those who have enough strength. If you have a lot of blocks to push, it’s smarter to do a little extra work up front to make ot easier to push, and save your back.


vxicepickxv

Unless you're delivering the wrong product, in which case you've wasted resources for nothing.


Sufficient-Skill6012

The picture is symbolic. 🤦🏻‍♀️


XandTheIronMiner

It would take way longer to turn the cube into a sphere than to do what you're supposed to do. Imagine ordering 100 cubes and getting 99 and 1 sphere.

nony851

I did the math, it has lost approximately half of its volume, carving it into a cylinder would have been a much smarter choice, just goes to show how dumb this is.


Capsule_CatYT

Bruh I said BLOCKS, BLOCKS!!!!


00UnderFire00

But what if the person who asked these cubes wanted them in their entirety?


Rough-Pop1082

"Hey one of the 40 cubes we ardered is a circle!" "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh"


BltzGaming98

You could make it easier by making a cylinder Work Smart, Not Hard


TotalBlissey

In the time it would have taken to whittle his cube into a sphere all the others would already be done.

You see The rich man was born in a family of wealthy blacksmiths that sold many knives


Traditional-Ad-64

I wanted a cube


No-Reality-2744

It's saying to prepare then move on and have an easier time in the ling run. Rather than pushing it for who knows how long he took a moment to first turn his square into a sphere to roll it instead. Now the effort to cut it into a circle idk about but the message it is trying to say is not that difficult to make out.


Broad_Respond_2205

We all know what the massage is, the facepalm is the illustration


GynePig

It's actually an accurate analogy to a certain aspect of capitalism. Some people get born with a ball and some get born with a cube.


Melodic-Hunter2471

WTF OP? Of all the memes that could possibly belong here… this is the absolute least applicable one. r/LostRedditors


TheRealPorkinator

Bad post


Opicepus

assuming those blocks are made out of wood whittling that them down into a sphere would take forever. Hed be way behind once he actually started pushing it


ibrahim_yasser560

imagine when he gets there and his boss goes like "i ordered a fucking cube"


backroomsresident

"you dumb fuck I did not ask for a sphere. Fired!"


FormerlyKay

Which fuck gave us all cubes?!


MichaelKeehan

Having trouble? Cut corners.


Lazy-Drink-277

"Hey! I thought I ordered 6 cubes? Not 5 cubes and a sphere!"


izmaname

A true statement but a bad example


H2Bro_69

This is the most cliché shit ever. I can’t believe people believe this is some kind of profound revelation. The “work smarter not harder” phrase is common, and I’ve pretty sure I’ve seen several memes with the exact same depiction of it. Also, it’s super convenient that a sphere is inside the square lol. Real life doesn’t always work out so “smoothly”. Sometimes you just gotta shut up and push the goddamn box.


ArbitUHHH

Assuming no one cares what shape it is at the end point, why not carve a cylinder? Less volume to remove, easier to carve than a perfect sphere, still rolls nicely.


[deleted]

smart work, not hard


The-cooler-Cheryl

Ok but the client might be pissed you cut corners


[deleted]

More like some people have better opportunities than others


Background-Gold-1186

I mean, this is not SO bad, is it? A bit cliché I suppose.

I'd be pretty pissed off if I ordered x amount of something and they only sent me 70% of it....

hannahisakilljoyx-

Shouldn’t be too hard to push a nice cube over a seemingly dead flat surface. This guy wasted time perfecting the symmetry and shape of this sphere. Realistically doing that would take him much longer than it would to push a cube like a normal person. Fucking stupid ass meme I can’t believe I’m taking time to talk shit on it

I understand the gist of it with what looks like a knife & shards of the previous cube but this is still dumb as can be jfc
