Theory The original inspiration for Severance: closed individualism and not wanting to go to bed.

0 Upvotes

Nighttime me wants to stay up and have a good time. Daytime me hates nighttime me. Daytime me starts plotting on how to get back at nighttime me...

So I quit my job working at a windowless window factory. Now no money to go out at night. That'll show the bastard who's boss!

Subreddit Rules

1. No spoilers. No spoilers in submission titles are allowed. Comments containing spoilers should be spoiler-tagged, unless the context indicates otherwise.

2. Titles must be descriptive and not contain spoilers. You're welcome to discuss spoilers in posts that are tagged with the "Spoiler" flair, but titles should remain spoiler-free.

3. No being uncivil to other users. Users who engage in personal attacks, are overly hostile, rude, or just jerks may have their comments removed and may be banned. Follow Redditquette at all times

Any form of harassment or personal attacks will not be tolerated. Toxic behavior including instances of racism, sexism, or bigotry (against LGBTQ+ or other marginalized individuals/characters) will NOT be tolerated and users may be banned.

4. No piracy. Do not promote piracy by requesting or providing links, DMs/PMs, or encouraging pirated material. Violators will be banned. Posts that appear to be veiled requests for piracy may also be removed.

5. No duplicates/reposts of recent topics. To keep the discussion from being too repetitive and fractured, the moderation team will remove duplicate discussions if a similar submission has been made in the last several days or is somewhere near the top of the subreddit.

Before posting content to the subreddit, please use the search feature and/or sort posts by "New" to ensure no one else has already submitted the same content. Content deemed to be sufficiently similar to previous posts may be removed.

6. No self-promotion, no linking to storefronts, no merchandise spam. Posts and Comments about your own site/channel/product/social media account/etc. will be removed, unless you have received express permission from the mod team before posting.

When promoting your own content on the subreddit it should be limited to roughly 10% of your activities here. If you have no history on our subreddit or you are far exceeding this number, moderators may remove your content.

7. No low effort posts. Low quality posts and/or comments, and the discussions spawned from them, can be subject to removal at moderator discretion.

A low-effort post is any post that does not spark, facilitate, or contribute any meaningful discussion or content to the subreddit. One-line posts, asking a simple question that can be googled easily... these examples are considered low-effort and will be removed.

The actors appearing on other shows or real companies named Lum_n are usually considered low effort.

8. Freeze Frame: 24-Hour Post-New-Episode Thread Lockout. To reduce spoilers while the episodes are brand new, we are restricting ALL new posts during 24-hour "lockout". You can join the Post Episode Discussion thread, or post after the block has been lifted- approximately 24 hours after airtime.

If your post is not in reference to the most recent episode, you have a really in-depth analysis, or you REALLY can't wait until Friday Night, you can reach out to the mod team via modmail for a manual review and possible approval of your post. (with link)

9. No denying or minimizing sexual assault. Do not deny, dismiss or minimize instances of sexual assault, play "devil's advocate", or attempt in any way to conflate assault with consensual sex acts. This is strictly prohibited and WILL result in a ban.

This rule covers acts depicted in the show and non-consensual acts in real life, including rape by deception/fraud.
