Saved an image of my next fishing spoon!

They're good for brown trout, no?

Username checks out ^^

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

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 13 points 5 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.

Two sided. Easy Goin' and Adventurous.

He probably sits on his feet

[–] [email protected] 48 points 5 months ago

With shoes on yea. Would explain the dirtyness too.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 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.

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

Probably wearing shoes and sitting on their feet.

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

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 10 points 5 months 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.

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 4 points 5 months 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!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Then how make chair underdesk not used

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Plus a wallet digging in makes this believable enough

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

You've met my buddy, Fidget McFarty!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Lots of Taco Bell, I'd guess.

Is your roommate JD Vance?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

Studded pants

[–] DudeImMacGyver 14 points 5 months ago

They keep buying shitty chairs?

[–] Californian_hotel 14 points 5 months ago

Your friend might be a butt vampire.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 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

They just have maaassive heavy balls.

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

Ooohh chipotle

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

Like the sandworm in the Dune movie?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

But you do. You do know Daddle.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 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.
