Saved an image of my next fishing spoon!

They're good for brown trout, no?

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 3 months ago

Username checks out ^^

Not a native speaker, I just urbandictionaried brown trout and I wasn't disappointed 😅

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago

To be fair, brown trout is an actual fish and is very common in my area. I'm in Utah, US, and this is a recent news story about trying to get people to fish for real brown trout to cut populations.

I'm a native speaker and i didn't know what it was

[-] rain_worl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

one or two spaces after a sentence? none!

Two sided. Easy Goin' and Adventurous.

[-] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 82 points 3 months ago

He probably sits on his feet

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 3 months ago

With shoes on yea. Would explain the dirtyness too.

[-] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Or has a pet. I could see a cat doing that over time, and my recliner in my living room has a similar tear because it's basically my dog's chair/bed, and he does that digging-to-make-the-ground-comfortable thing before he lays down.

[-] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 65 points 3 months ago

I'm guessing they shift around a lot, turning their body the way people turn the controller on a sharp turn.

[-] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 70 points 3 months ago

Probably wearing shoes and sitting on their feet.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 22 points 3 months ago

They may have a sweaty, moist, even wet rear. Constantly degrading the material. Making it even more susceptible to ... friction.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

Yeah, and the material on that chair isn't helping. That's why I have this ikea chair, which has a mesh back that keeps everything much cooler.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

The Markus is the chair goat simply for being far too good for costing basically nothing.

Also I recommend taking the arms off, if even just to try. I did it a while back and it greatly Improved the experience.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Good idea. The arms kinda suck since they're right at the height my desk is at. Thanks for the tip kind stranger!

[-] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

FYI the arms being at the same height as the desk is exactly what you want for a good posture ergonomic computer using position.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Then how make chair underdesk not used

[-] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

My cheap home office chair has adjustable arms and a gas lift, either of those work if you really need to tuck it right under.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago

Plus a wallet digging in makes this believable enough

[-] dogsnest@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

You've met my buddy, Fidget McFarty!

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 4 points 3 months ago

Yep, combined with lax seating positions. You press into the back so your ass kinda pushes forward, being stopped by the friction with the chair, which then slowly but steadily wears it down. I change my position fairly frequently too as I can't stand (...) sitting in the same position the whole time. Especially cheaper chairs will degrade like this very quickly but I've yet to see a chair that not goes through this process (I'm too poor to afford the expensive models though). If you reach the point of having a big hole I'd suggest putting some other fabric beneath it - that at least helps preserve the foam some longer. Also, this faux leather material is very bad with sweat and starts to become stiff quickly, causing it to crack and peel.

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 10 points 3 months ago

I used to have this problem, but switched to mesh chairs a few years ago and it's completely solved it. (Doesn't need to be a super expensive one.)

What's convenient is that we find it obscene to patch the assrest, which would mark the posterior-stressed spot unless executed unusually well.

So we just replace the whole fucking chair, piston, wheels, back, bolts and all.

Makes the chair business go round and round like a kid who just discovered the only remnant of joy mankind allowed to exist in the office.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 0 points 3 months ago

Yep... :( I've given up on finding a chair that simply offers compatible replacement parts. It's stupid and wasteful as hell but I guess it is just not worth it for the manufacturers. I'm sure conceptually it is entirely feasible to do this - especially since you have to assemble them out of their different parts anyway. With the mentioned mesh chairs you could even have a removable frame that just holds the mesh that you can buy again if needed and have it snap into the main char frame holding it.

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

No pets? Looks like a dog or cat's favorite chair... or a Goat, for that matter.

All that said, I've seen plenty of cheap office chairs with no such excuses just crap-out like so.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Lots of Taco Bell, I'd guess.

[-] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Is your roommate JD Vance?

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 3 months ago

okay, listen, this joke was funny but it's run its course

[-] Michal@programming.dev 15 points 3 months ago

Studded pants

[-] Californian_hotel@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

Your friend might be a butt vampire.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

They keep buying shitty chairs?

[-] maxenmajs@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

With a special gaming chair like that, I bet they're just going to hold onto it until the logo tears off.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 10 points 3 months ago

The sequel to Teeth?

It's what happens when you create a lethal combination of Flaming Hot Cheetos and Mt Dew Code Red inside your tummy

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago

They just have maaassive heavy balls.

Like the sandworm in the Dune movie?

[-] SteefLem@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Ooohh chipotle

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I don't want to know what the brown stain is

[-] paws@cyberpaws.lol 9 points 3 months ago

But you do. You do know Daddle.

[-] FUsername@feddit.org 3 points 3 months ago

Is the roommate male? It kinda looks like the chair has been subject to modifications regarding creating a comfortable hollow for a ballsack along with one for its neighbor.
