A closer look

The ancient Egyptians were so intensely dedicated to dodging chores they literally took magic cheat codes to the grave. Instead of spending eternity plowing celestial fields for Osiris, they buried themselves with 'shabti' figurines and spells from the Book of the Dead. When the gods called for manual labor, the spell magically activated the doll to do the work instead, making them the ultimate pioneers of eternal outsourcing.
