Homeless, I just spend all day at the public library. Where do we go to to trade in all the upvotes for cash?
Either the Dennies or under the 4th st bridge.
That's perfect, that's where I communicate to people what the voices are telling me! I expect they'll just start showering me with money when I begin the ritual ejaculation.
ITT: none of the power posters I was thinking of. Suspiciously silent now, eh?
Obviously nobody wants to brag about being a jobless nerd who posts on social media all day.
๐คฃ Abso_lutely_ none of the usual suspects have chimed in here.
Right? There are a handful of users that I'd expect here but don't see

@ThePicardManuever probably too busy posting to respond.
I've averaged 4-5 comments a day since I made my account. Probably not who you're asking about but I'll bite.
I'm a SysAdmin/Systems Engineer- My work tends to be feast or famine in terms of how busy things get, and there's often times where I just have to "babysit" a long running process or script. Also times where I just need to clear my head so I can approach a problem a different way.
I have a similar job, but I have been in the unfortunate position to be swamped with work for the past month or so.
I have had one task that needed babysitting in the past 3 weeks, and I was so busy that I was jumping between tasks at that point.
Quality control manager in a fabrication shop. A lot of my job is waiting for machines to do their thing.
Different job, but same scenario. I hook things up to a machine, run it an hour, swap the next units in, repeat until done. Sometimes there's other stuff to do, but the basic job is mostly waiting.
I poop... A lot.
Unemployed. I was a software dev, but it has been hard for me to get a job for last 1.5 years. It sucks. Currently, working to set up a small horticulture farm.
2 of my jobs are food service and the third one is retail.
Fucking kill me.
I'm a spy for Facebook and or the Russian/US government. Maybe something to do with China on the side too, not sure. In my free time I shill BP products to the children in my neighbourhood and have a passive income clubbing seals during my winter break. Due to a debilitating sense of laziness, I invite food delivery workers into my home and have my way with them in lieu of payment. At night I climb unto my roof to look at the star(s) whilst perching over the street and mutter to any night joggers about being vengeance incarnate. My interests include anime, dog-walking, and folding paper cranes.
Called it.
I don't have a title per se, but I can say that I work with information security and vast amounts of data. I have ADHD so doing "mindless" things like quipping on Lemmy, sudoku and word search puzzles helps me think. It is also why I often comment with images. So I might be commenting or shitposting, but in the back of my head I am thinking about how to restructure a query so that it will return in seconds rather than minutes.
EDIT: It is also why most comments are edited. I comment now and return to spell/grammar check later (if at all).
"IT Support".
Shore support specialist for this production system (server cluster) used offshore. I spend most of my time "available, on standby".

The question has been eating at you for some time, not since some time.
Also, I've wondered the exact same thing. I never recalled seeing such prolific cross community posters on reddit, but here it seems they're all over the place.

Thank you, fixed!
No problem!
Guys, guys, guys...I need the name calling, the insults, the strawman arguments, the DRAMA...what is this "Thanks" and "no problem" crap all about?
/s if it wasn't obvious
Edit: Apparently one person doesn't have a sense of humor. Yay!
You've heard of the Dark Web, right? Welcome to the Light Web.
Reddit was like that 15 years ago.
Nurse manager. I browse when I wake and during dinner. Sometimes during work breaks. I don't really post. Mostly comment. Doesn't take long to comment
Psyops
apprentice bench jeweler, but during the day all i really do is wait on customers so i end up with WAY too much free time. i get to make all sorts of cool shit tho!
Remote work to a slow computer.
Professional procrastinator, PhD
hundreds overall? You say several per day. I easily do that. Thats not even a lot. Now if you mean hundreds per day then woa. Anyway I am currently unemployed. EDITED - ok posts several a day and comments on everything. That is a lot. I read it wrong initially.
I push buttons on computers and wait for things to be done. Sometimes I have to look and find out why the button push didn't do the thing.
In other words, IT.
I am a model, I do hydologic and hydraulic simulations. So I often have 1-5 minutes that I have to wait for the PC. The work related stuff to do during the waiting periods is limited.
Are you a physical model or computer model. I didn't know when they started using AI on hydraulic models this would happen ๐ฒ
Btw. Can I know how can I get a job like yours. I'm looking for remote works in around a year with a PhD on hydrology related degree. I have good programming skills, and good hydrology/hydraulic knowledge.
Nowadays I work in urban hydrology and lead our team for general planning/asset management and data management of utilities company for a city in germany. I did my phd in river hydrology and hydrometeorology.
I have to admit modelling nowadays is only ~30% of my job. I oftentimes wished that I would do more modelling, but thus is life I guess. Should still consider myelf lucky that I manage to still do that much modelling, thanks to my team being very competent, thus allowing me to manage with a very low hierarchy and still do some work myself (the pay gap is also quite small, so I guess that is fair).
But remote work is difficult in that business. We allow a maximum of 50% and only 1-2 days per week for leading positions.
I own a couple small companies, and I blow off steam with Lemmy when I have time.
I'm a lumberjack in Antarctica when I'm not moonlighting as a future historian.

Eh, I don't really want to get into it on my main, but I do have way too much time. I didn't plan it this way, I swear.
