Working smart would be to take off your jacket, balance the cube on an edge to have less friction, wrap the jacket around the back of the cube then drag it behind you. If you have seeds then as you walk back to get you next cube plant them in the row you just plowed with the cube.
You sculpt it into a large sphere at the source site, roll it to the pyramid location, then chip off the curves with a chisel. The leftover bits can be further crunched up into aggregate to act as cement/filler.
Also, don’t assemble the Eiffel Tower bit-by-bit. Instead, build a giant mould and pour molten metal into it, then disassemble the mould. The mould itself is constructed bit-by-bit and is far more complex and intricate than the tower but the guy who pours the metal will have an easy job. Just make sure the rest of the work is done by low-value males according to the Tate-Jordan scale, and then their labour is actually of no consequence, much like a physicist’s thought experiment that excludes gravity to make it work.
Literally cutting corners
Customer: “You whittled off a sizable portion of the product just so you wouldn’t have to work as hard while your competitors delivered on the specs. Contract denied.”
God damn ea-nasir strikes again, get me the fucking tablet
If the point was to arrive with a cube, then it wouldn’t be considered “working smart” if you arrived with a ball now would it?
smarter would be a cylinder, not a sphere
Cylinders are very hard to turn, why do you think them smarter?
i’ve turned cylinders pretty easy what do you mean
This would be a good illustration about privilege. Dude thinks he’s smarter than everyone else but he’s just been given a ball to roll while everyone else is pushing cubes.
There’s an implication that the dude whittled it into a ball. It shows a knife of some sort and shavings behind him. It allows the illusion of working harder without forcing the user to use some critical thinking. For example it would take a long time to work it into a ball allowing the others to move further ahead than shown (unless they stopped to watch). Where did he get the knife and why didn’t he share it? As others pointed out, will the ball be useful once it gets there? (I suspect not). Etc etc etc
Hello, HR? Yeah, my coworker brought a knife to the office and is ranting about how he’s going to make things a lot more efficient around here…
HR “Sounds like someone is getting a promotion. We need people who are a cut above. Someone who really gets the point. The next best thing since sliced bread.”
I’m on my phone and didn’t see the knife. It could still be about privilege because he has a knife advantage that no one else has, not that I’m really hellbent on making it about privilege, it just struck me as the kind of thing a person who doesn’t believe in privilege would draw.
Agreed there is a certain privileged aspect about it
I always found surrealistic business art of businessmen doing simplistic things to be oddly interesting and fever-dreamy.

Email and YOU!
A lack of knowing context or considering consequences? Sounds inspirational to me!
The smarter option would have been to make it a cylinder, still rollable, with less carving.
It is imperative that the cylinder remains undamaged
Barrels, with fatter centers, are easier to steer when rolling. Best transport shape for human pushing.
Pulling the cubes would reduce the surface area for friction and prevent the leading edge from catching on the ground causing sudden stops.
The actual egyptians used wooden sleds, works pretty well on sand.
Of course, these were just for the first and last mile, the vast majority of transit distance was done via boat/barge along the Nile, powered by a combination of sails, rowers, and also drawn by teams of oxen or people on the adjacent shore.

Are you saying it wasn’t aliens?
No, the aliens obviously taught them how to make the sleds, lol.
“My half-sibling in Aphrodite, we building a temple to Aphrodite. Ain’t no pyramids being built here, bro lol”
Oh balls.
Could have teamed up to help someone else move their cube. Many hands make light work.
Could be a very large smoothing stone for doing a stage of final shaping of other blocks at the construction site.
Various pyramid constructions show evidence of more rough cut stones being transported to the construction site, and then final shaping would be done on site, with pounding and grinding stones.
In that light, this is like mocking the one guy carrying a postholer to a fence construction site, where everyone else is carrying the fencing.
Found the middle manager
No, you found the guy with the postholer, who just quit, have fun working harder instead of smarter.
I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling or just retarded and completely misunderstanding the post. Kudos either way
Make þe spheres twice as big, turn þem back into cubes on-site.
Make on reeaaallly long cylinder, chop it up into cubes on site.
Or just use ðe technique of enciant egyptians, attach wood on four sides of ðe cubes, and make ðem roll ðat way. (and please make some credit for ðe eð symbol, þorn is not for every th. Still i appreciate ðis effort, þank you)
Where’d you get those thorns
