To use a chair

  • 1 points AutoModerator

    Hello everyone! As a reminder this is a satire subreddit for the dumb/silly things children do. The subreddit name is not literal. Although posts can have kids doing actual "stupid" things. It is not a requirement. Yes, blaming the parent is valid. However, this does not mean crossing the line into actually insulting the parent is ok (assuming they are the OP) (Rule #1).

    This is also not a hate sub for children. If you don't like kids, that's fine. Just don't spread vitriol.

    Please read the sidebar for more information.

    I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

    my guess is one of the various flash game websites, this image feels like 2012 to me (the PC, the 4:3 aspect ratio monitor, the two printers, and the desk speakers all make me think early win7 or late vista, the proportions of the nested UI's scream Kongregate/Miniclip/ anything from the 2000s ish internet where all you needed was a sense of colour coordination and a metal sheen effect on all your UI elements to be ahead of the pack.

    this is a kid using the computer, He's fully locked in because he's only allowed on the computer for like an hour a day.

    thats my guess anyway

    I’m gonna be honest. As already an adult, i do that too. Though very, very rarely for no reason. I just feel like doing something weird. Usually ends with me tumbling backwards

    Isn't doing it just for the sake of doing something weird kind of the same as doing it for no reason?

    The reason would be to do something weird.

    So how would you it for no reason then? You just find yourself doing it and wonder how you got there?

    its more like an itch you need/want to scratch. Something itches you scratch. You get an impulse to do something weird, you fulfill that impulse.

    parent root
    2 points reticulatedtampon

    Right… so you’re saying doing it to be weird is the reason. In that case what is an example of doing it “for no reason” then? The only way I can think of is if it’s with no intention at all, like you sleepwalk into it.

    You’re confusing the phrase “no reason” with “no GOOD reason”. Is there a reason, yes. It’s it a “good” reason, no.

    A truly “no reason” moment is doing something without realizing. Like staring in space. It’s mostly an unconscious decision.

    The person said "no reason" not "no good reason" so that's what I'm going by. Not confusing the two at all.

    I’m not saying “this was said”. I’m saying the meaning of one is being lumped into the other. Also fair enough. Let’s replace “you’re confusing” with “people confuse” so we can make the sentence more accurate.

    No because doing something weird on purpose makes you feel alive.

    I’m sorry. After reading your comments, maybe i should have written “for no good reason” to avoid any confusion. Since i usually consider ‘Being Weird’ not a reason, as it’s not a good reason nor a bad one. It’s just……naturally happens

    Yeah, we all have those random "why am I doing this" moments where our brain just decides to revert to toddler mode for a sec.

    Usually when I do something like this it's because I'm getting up a bunch. Not gonna commit to the whole sit if I gotta jump up again, and so a half stance forms.

    I might be wrong, but the title is structured like it's a repost from r/therewasanattempt

    30 points StuntHacks

    I notice that with a ton of posts in recent years. Posted to some completely unrelated sub, with the stupid /r/therewasanattempt titles (which make sense there but are complete nonsense in any other sub lol)

    7 points OMG_A_CUPCAKE

    I dislike it when subs use titles as extensions to the sub's name. Funny idea, but completely falls apart if you see the posts anywhere outside the sub and you just have a bunch of cut off sentences on your feed.

    It probably is; this sub doesn't allow cross-posting, so sometimes people just copy/paste the og title and make new posts here.

    A poorly designed chair. The gap between the seat and the backrest is too large. He couldn't get back support without slipping into the gap. And the seat was too high for him.

    Maybe he needs to take a piss but doesn't want to stop playing so instead he's sealing off that path for urine.
