# legendary uncomfortable couch this nasty old thing 'gave you' rsi you spent three and a half years writing notes for an imaginary republic then another six months editing you eventually ended up in hospital writhing in agony due to impinged nerves and severe shoulder pain the couch while host to a billion dirty silverfish also slowly exudes toxic fumes which help cause cancer the cushions and structural support have partially collapsed in on themselves so when researchers try to sit back they find themselves partially eaten and enfolded within the couch resulting in bad backs the whole thing should have been scrapped from the outset; only being a two seat couch isn't even long enough to lay down on for a nap not only that it weighs about two tons and is a real pain to get up and down the stairs an example of something badly andor actively non-designed which encourages sedentary non-movement behavior in its users get oneself a large thick square rug and some sitting cushions or beanbags; even better learn to full sit-squat couches are deff dear researcher get up keep moving and lively up oneself today // republic of bob
