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 😅
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
one or two spaces after a sentence? none!

He probably sits on his feet
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.
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.
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.
Good idea. The arms kinda suck since they’re right at the height my desk is at. Thanks for the tip kind stranger!
FYI the arms being at the same height as the desk is exactly what you want for a good posture ergonomic computer using position.
Then how make chair underdesk not used
Plus a wallet digging in makes this believable enough
You’ve met my buddy, Fidget McFarty!
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.

They have neither replacement parts nor are they in any sort of way affordable when they cost like 2-5 times the amount of my PC.
You can buy replacement parts
Don’t complain that you can’t get replacement parts if you’re not ready to pay the price to buy from a manufacturer that will invest to produce the extra parts necessary to offer the service instead of manufacturing just what is necessary to assemble new products.
Offering replacement parts means manufacturing them and storing them, potentially for years, there’s a cost to that and that cost is paid when you purchase the product. Cars would be much cheaper if manufacturers didn’t have to make replacement parts as well!
I checked the official German store and they did not offer any replacement parts there, or at least I could not find any.
Also, modularity is not that much more expensive to the point where you have to pay thousands of bucks for a chair. That’s a bullshit argument. Every single office chair is assembled at home, even the cheapest ones. The manufacturer not offering the same parts separately is simply a marketing strategy so that you have to buy a whole fucking chair again.
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.
Lots of Taco Bell, I’d guess.

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

They keep buying shitty chairs?
With a special gaming chair like that, I bet they’re just going to hold onto it until the logo tears off.
