a fruit that was once highly sought after but now has been mostly forgotten

ah the horrors of twink death

That setup is as ergonomically friendly as a medieval breaking wheel

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

the bottom of the keyboard "tray" looks like it would touch the chair seat if fully extended.

I'm imagining the chair has no back, and the legs are all different lengths.

For most people yea. He's a contortionist. So would he actually notice i wonder?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

This was my immediate thought. For all we know he multitasks by sitting in the lotus pose on that chair.

This guy is honestly one of my favourite youtubers. I had no idea so many weird and wonderful fruits existed in the world

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Same! Wholesome, entertaining, and informative. What's not to love?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He sounds like the Technology Connections of fruit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

That's actually a good comparison lol. A bit less snark, a bit more docile nerd and you're on the money

I really hate those under desk keyboard drawers if they get in the way and / or are un-ergonomic

[–] Aquila 8 points 7 months ago

I love mine! The front plate has hinges so it folds down and outta the way. When I’m not using my key board I can hide it and leaves desk open for mouse and snacks

I need to report a desk crime to the desk sergeant please.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Will they issue a bench warrant?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They’ll need a sitting judge to sign off on the bench warrant.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

The judge should give him the chair

Ow! My back! My shoulders! My carpal tunnel!

Wrists is what immediately jumped out at me, but a chair with no back support = no good long term

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Isn't it the exact opposite, as you are really forced to sit straight and don't lean against the support?

[–] nyahlathotep 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

IIRC the thing that causes long term damage is staying in the same position for long periods of time. Without a back rest, there isn't much movement you can do to change position. I could be misremembering though

Edit: of course you could just stand up every once in a while and that'd probably take care of it I guess, I'm not an Orthopedist

Weird Explorer in the wild is a rare sight.

I don't get how anyone can trust those mugs with a tapered base.

Are you trying to spill your drink as far as you possibly can?

You just need one finger to catch the edge of the cup, and gravity/momentum will do the rest.

[–] ZombiFrancis 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The orientation of the mug handle to the desk and chair for the picture bothers me regardless.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Can't have the mouse hand leave the mouse. Sanest thing in the post.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

That's like driving without ever taking your hand off the stick

[–] ZombiFrancis 1 points 7 months ago

Left side of desk for mug then. No reason to cross all that paperwork with a full mug.

That mug was posed, dare I say it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I've got a couple of cups like that. The bases are usually very thick which shifts it's center of gravity lower. It's not nearly as top heavy as they look

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Is it mangosteen? I'm guessing it's mangosteen.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I really hate the fact, that the word "goon" now has a new meaning. (Bring back "coom"!)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

it's not instagram reels comments

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That KB is slightly too wide for the tray.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

It's a drawer that he's pulled the keyboard into to free up desk space for highlighting text on the printouts.

More worryingly, the space between the bottom of the drawer and the top of the chair would make a XKCD character wince.
