I'm impressed that Philip lasted that long with sloths, I'd go nuts dealing with that speed diff.

[@Rawkit_Surgeon]

Excuse me, minimum effort required for maximum profit sounds like a dream job.

[@p5ychojoe138]

@zonzzter that part is great. But he's stuck dealing with people that take a solid minute to complete a 10 second task and possibly even sentences. I mean 6 hours for a business letter? I'd eventually go batty.

@@p5ychojoe138 Clearly you haven't encountered the E4 mafia and the power of the Sham Shield.

[@dwwolf4636]

​​@@Rawkit_Surgeon worked for a civilian organisation that works for the Dept. Of Defense.... I was not impressed, i'd work 4-5 hours to complete all tasks. The rest of the time I used to improve my Freecell game after everything was spotless and calibrated, again. In the end I was entertaining thoughts of experimenting with Sulfuric and nitric acid and organic materials to give some manner of excitement.......which was what made me realize it was time to move on.

[@StarForgers]

@P5ychoJoe13 Think of it this way. How hard would it be to play video games or watch videos 80% of the day and get double the standard workload done in 1 hour if not half an hour? Hell, there isn't even a chance of them looking at your screen without you noticing long them minutes beforehand! I'm not saying to be lazy at work, but if you're THAT far ahead of them, it simply means you need a pay raise!

[@TheStarMachine2000]

I can only imagine Philip showing up to work with a Terran computer. "Wow! The speed of this machine is incredible! It must be the cutting edge of technology!" "Not really, that is about two decades out of date." "What? But it works so fast!" "Yeah, And so do we!"

[@noneofyourbuisness1679]

As soon as I heard they were comparable to sloths, I knew *exactly* where this was going XD

[@nachoakajrod]

I’m guessing when the dragon stomped the sword poke a hole in the bottom of his foot. The only soft spot or something. And because he was made to bleed his own blood😂😂 he left that one human in peace and promised to wait 100 years to return or something

[@henrypaleveda7760]

the second story reminds me of "The Iron Man" by Ted Hughes, could be just because of the dragon's description.
