    UK here and I was unemployed/irregularly employed back around 2012-2014. The requirement was like 10 applications a week.

    I used a web plugin that automated it. Just one click applies. You also need to log each thing you do to search for a job. It is trivial to lie. Honestly the system is so awful I think it actually makes it harder to find a job than having zero requirements beyond being unemployed. Not like it’s enough money to live off anyway, it would comfortably cover food and water, but that is all.

    Then they made me work full time at Argos (retail) to continue getting welfare payments which works out to less than a quarter of minimum wage.

    I thought it was just a meme used for mocking people that think like that. Usually with overly ridiculous examples, a bit like an evolution of “its not gay if you are wearing socks” type of things. Essentially mocking people that feel insecure about their masculinity.
