Saved an image of my next fishing spoon!

They're good for brown trout, no?

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Username checks out ^^

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

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.

Two sided. Easy Goin' and Adventurous.

He probably sits on his feet

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 1 year ago

With shoes on yea. Would explain the dirtyness too.

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.

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 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably wearing shoes and sitting on their feet.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago (1 children)

Then how make chair underdesk not used

[–] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Plus a wallet digging in makes this believable enough

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You've met my buddy, Fidget McFarty!

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lots of Taco Bell, I'd guess.

[–] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is your roommate JD Vance?

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Michal@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago

Studded pants

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

They keep buying shitty chairs?

Your friend might be a butt vampire.

[–] maxenmajs@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year 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 1 year 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

They just have maaassive heavy balls.

[–] SteefLem@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ooohh chipotle

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] paws@cyberpaws.lol 9 points 1 year ago

But you do. You do know Daddle.

Like the sandworm in the Dune movie?

[–] FUsername@feddit.org 3 points 1 year 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.
