Saved an image of my next fishing spoon!

They're good for brown trout, no?

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 month 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 1 month 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

Two sided. Easy Goin' and Adventurous.

[-] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 81 points 1 month ago

He probably sits on his feet

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 1 month ago

With shoes on yea. Would explain the dirtyness too.

[-] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

Probably wearing shoes and sitting on their feet.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

Then how make chair underdesk not used

[-] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month 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 month ago

Plus a wallet digging in makes this believable enough

[-] dogsnest@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

You've met my buddy, Fidget McFarty!

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 4 points 1 month 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 1 month 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.)

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago

Really? I know they're better for airing but I always thought they're kinda worse because you only have that one thin layer of fabric to go through and they usually don't have replacement parts.

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 4 points 1 month ago

That one layer is far sturdier than the covering on a traditional office chair, at least if it's a budget model and not actual leather. You can also replace the mesh, but if you aren't using a super expensive model, I think it's easier to just replace the chair at that point. Anecdotally, I sit on my feet all the time and haven't had any problems with the mesh tearing.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Lots of Taco Bell, I'd guess.

[-] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Is your roommate JD Vance?

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] Michal@programming.dev 15 points 1 month ago

Studded pants

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

They keep buying shitty chairs?

[-] Californian_hotel@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

Your friend might be a butt vampire.

[-] maxenmajs@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month 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 month 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

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago
[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago

They just have maaassive heavy balls.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] paws@cyberpaws.lol 9 points 1 month ago

But you do. You do know Daddle.

Like the sandworm in the Dune movie?

[-] SteefLem@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Ooohh chipotle

[-] rand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 1 month ago

Okay, I'm just gonna say it... it kinda looks like he may have been sitting on this chair while bouncing aggressively on a dildo.

Like, it's just in the perfect, exact middle of the chair and the front looks all crumpled, like they were sitting near the edge.

I dunno. Just some details I noticed.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 11 points 1 month ago

maybe the gamer version of the ass-pounder 4000? .

[-] FUsername@feddit.org 3 points 1 month 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.
