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.
Well actually the worst thing for posture is having the same all the time so sit/stand desk are rly helpful if you use them by shifting you position.
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.
