A lot more sore backs and so much more spilt food.

[–] CptHacke@lemm.ee 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's what I was going to say - a LOT more back issues. Chiropractors would be overjoyed.

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Are beanbag chairs in with big chiro? 😯

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Is other seating outlawed in this scenario, or just no one has the capability to conceive of a chair or bench? Or does physics just not abide a seat in this universe?

...is it possible to sit on tables?

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A lot of people with back problems unable to get up from their chairs. I’m guessing it would become commonplace to see people rolling onto the floor.

Someone would eventually invent a dual frame with a small horizontally mounted primary bean bag chair to sit on, and a small secondary vertically mounted bean bag chair could support the back.

That's brilliant! Why hasn't anyone made one of these better bean bag chairs?

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

I'd probably stop wearing skirts.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 5 points 4 days ago

Some people would question if there could be, perhaps, a better chair. Of course, anyone with common sense knows that beanbag chairs are a perfect and infallible design.

Have you put all your money into polystyrene beans again Kevin.

[–] iamdefinitelyoverthirteen@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No more chairs in the ESD controlled areas 😭

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 3 points 4 days ago

Someone would invent conductive and grounded beans. Maybe aluminum foam could be used?

Driving a car becomes a lot more difficult. Also, all cars would be mid- or rear-engined so that you could put a windscreen far lower to the floor and still see from your shitty chair.

More laptops or standing desks for computers.
