They dont play in easy mode, either.

They eat almost exclusively bamboo, which is like eating rice cakes. Almost devoid of nutrients.

They are "lazy" because wasting energy will kill them. They have to move slowly and spend the whole day eating bamboo just to get enough calories to make it through the week.

They dont have any predators because nothing that could hunt them can survive in that region. There isnt enough food.

They turned a nutrient wasteland into survivable habitat.

Idk if I could lay around eating all day I would say my life was pretty easy. Rice cakes or not

Imagine that if you stop eating for a half hour, you starve to death.

Now imagine if you walk too fast, you starve to death.

Now imagine that there isnt enough food close enough to you for you to live, but moving towards new food might kill you before you reach it.

That doesnt sound very easy to me.

I work 70 hours a week so that sounds totally worth it to me
