Clearly, this guy was part of the 2010's beanbag-as-office-chair trend.

What about the late 90's kneeling chair fad?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wow, first time I've seen that! I'm currently half-kneeling on my chair, so I'm kind of intrigued.

It's shit for any prolonged sitting.

Yes, but they were excellent for kneeling on backwards, with your chest on the seat when you, uh, had need of that particular position for whatever reason.

Or so I've heard.

From a friend.

...this is the solution to a problem I've been looking for an answer for. Thanks!

You know, I feel like heels would make this even more awkward than it already is. How do you get any leverage?

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You have to do kind of a combination of pushing down with your butt to get upward momentum, then pulling up with your abs. Then you keep it going with the two.

It's hell. And to get up, you grab the edge of the desk and pull. 0/10 Do not recommend.

And then the desk collapses because it's not real wood
