I’m using a “laying chair” which is superior for posture
Still better than AI slop.
This had me actually giggle out loud.
Looks Like someone needs a Paleo Chair 😁
(350-450€)

dude i want the emperor too, i will save up another car’s worth for my chair
Who let you in my house?
I actually do this sometimes, feels good

Actually my back hurts because your mother damaged it with her large mass when we were engaged in coitus.
I read coitus as combat. Makes sense I suppose
combat is implied. if you’re doing it right.
Nah it’s because I don’t have enough monitors.
Need a 4th one to balance things out nicely
TL;DR your back hurts because you’re poor.
Nah, OP is just being elitist trying to justify those purchases. (not that they’re bad ideas, just unnecessary)
The real answer is posture and lack of stretching and exercize. Unless you have an underlying issue like scoliosis, stretching and exercize fix 90% of the aches and pains young people whine about with “getting old” in their 30’s.
Pretty sure OP is sarcastic
Yea, it’s a meme. Though sadly a lot of people I run into unironically think the meme is the best solution.
Until knowledge becomes laughably common, I’m going to try to spread what is best. Especially when the better option is way cheaper.
Yo I swear by my trackball mouse. Vertical mice are trash tho, complete placebo I’m sure of it.
Absolutely, I love my trackball, too. As much as I always want a better one, I’m never going back to mice.

I popped my two discs around L5. So far I’m trying to avoid surgery, pain is mostly under control at the moment but I’ve had extreme ups and downs for the last few months so…
Thank you for the exercise advice, I’ll look them up and compare with what I’m currently doing. I do the McGill big 3 every day plus some other exercises and stretches I learned during physical therapy but I don’t know the names of those.
I don’t know exactly what these are based on your descriptions, but I went through physical therapy and was given some stretches/exercises that do for sure help some. It isn’t a “cure”, but as you said, if you have back pain and can do them, you should be trying to.
Ty for this
I suffered a slipped L5-S1 disc last Nov - suffering symptoms of pain and numbness in my left upper calf and outer side of my left foot. I did an MRI in Dec and there was nerve compression found and a degenerating L5-S1 disc.
Eventually the pain went away and the numbness became much less obvious but the doctors I saw recommended microdisectomy to avoid further potential damage to the nerve.
Immediately after the op (I did it 20th Feb) I did feel better but one or two days later the numbness returned stronger than before the op. Now on medication to try and see if the inflammation is temporary or something long term. Sigh
Your back hurts because you keep the same posture even when your body tells you not to.
When you have a job, and say work for 3-4 hours, your body will tell you to stop and do something else for a couple hours. But you can’t cause life.
The ergonomic stuff are fulfilling their purpose by giving you a decent posture, your just holding it too long.
This is also why being rich would be a solution, even those who are rich but work, they aren’t working 40 hours every week nonstop. It’s also why they are so keen that “golf meetings” are so effective.
“Hmmm, I’m going to write you a prescription for 75% more RGB LED backlighting”
While dumb expensive the Aeron chair makes sitting at a desk all day do able and not painful.
They’ve come down in price and there are actually better options out there now.
What are those better options…?
Fleeing into the woods.
Curious about the chairs too though.
See, I keep trying to tell the wife that, but she’s all “how gonna eat in the woods?” Apparently squirrels was the wrong answer.
Agree. You can also find them second hand at pretty decent prices
Used steel case leap. Doesn’t look pretty or have RGB, or a built in mini fridge or whatever, but it works and it costs like 100-200usd.
You’re talking about v1 I assume? V2’s go for quite a bit more
Both ours are v2. We bought them at like office wholesale warehouse things. Like when offices closed and sell off all their stuff.
I could have sworn it was due to the severe injury I sustained, but who am I to argue with science?
Degenerative disc disorderbad mouseHundreds of upvotes on a shitpost can’t be wrong!
Could also be kidney stones
no, my lower back hurts because i got impaled there. it hurts less because i have a chair with a double rocker and well positioned monitors
Did you meet Vlad?
I use a trackball mouse. That must be why my back is doing great.
i find trackballs fascinating because i really like it but everybody else in the family fucking hate it as if kicked the dog or something. on the brighter side of things - everybody gave up on snooping around on my desktop
I tried a standing desk and it made my back pain a lot worse.
