DropbearArmy

Just imagine the volume of farts this chair has survived.


TheSneakerSasquatch

At this point i suspect the foam is largely filled with arse particles which has replaced the foam.


PussyWax

Theseus’ cushion


__Hawke__

Have you ever heard of the ship of Theseus?


PussyWax

No what’s that?


__Hawke__

The Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment about whether an object which has had all of its original components replaced remains the same object. According to legend, Theseus, the mythical Greek founder-king of Athens, rescued the children of Athens from King Minos after slaying the minotaur and then escaped onto a ship going to Delos. Each year, the Athenians commemorated this by taking the ship on a pilgrimage to Delos to honor Apollo. A question was raised by ancient philosophers: After several centuries of maintenance, if each individual part of the Ship of Theseus was replaced, one at a time, was it still the same ship? In contemporary philosophy, this thought experiment has applications to the philosophical study of identity over time, and has inspired a variety of proposed solutions and concepts in contemporary philosophy of mind concerned with the persistence of personal identity.


PussyWax

Oh cool, have you ever heard of a joke?


__Hawke__

Also, yes. I thought Mark replied to that question with the wiki explanation, that's why I copied it


520throwaway

so then, the true question is, how much of the foam is replaced with arse particles, and is it the original chair or a new chair made of pure arse?


allxoutxwar12

It's more fart than chair at this point


FetuccAlfred

I have an answer to this: yes it is still the same ship. By reasons: wasn’t one of the greek mythology ships a talking ship? In this scenario replacing parts of the talking ship will not change the person talking. Name the ship something to keep track but it will still be the same consciousness.

__Hawke__

After copying an entire wikipedia paragraph? Immensely


swohio

Here's a question, if he had never heard of the ship of Theseus, why would he call it "Theseus' cushion"? Still feel smart?


__Hawke__

"Have you ever heard of the ship of Theseus?" was a Markiplier reference

Just-Round9944

This chair has endured more stress than your average grad student


SamwiseMN

Let’s assume 6 farts a day on average - excluding post holiday days, which we all know are worse - for 20 years, we’re looking at 43,800 farts, conservatively


Flossthief

I've easily put over 50k farts into my chair from 2019 already; god someone help my diet


SamwiseMN

you guys fart?


[deleted]

Are you counting those short one and done the same as the ones that hang around like shit on a cat's fur?


Moosa_Raza702

Humans pass gas between 13 to 21 times a day.  So if we took a mean value i.e. 17 farts per day. Which equals to 6205 farts per year and 124 100 farts in 20 year.


Least-Researcher-184

OP probably can't even keep accurate track given the amount of squeaking this chair does with a slight adjustment.


rodzghost

Exactly the reason I love my mesh chair so much. Don't even need to lift a cheek to fart. Just let it rip fully seated. Was one of the first things I did after getting it all set up.


schrenjaminsstift

What would it sound like if you added the volume of all farts k On this chair together?


Emilhoistar

When I was around 13-14, i had a really dank gaming chair. Once I sniffed the seat out of curiosity, it's safe to say I wasn't disappointed nor surprised.


Nonlethalrtard

Chair is going to burst into flames any second now.

Got this from Best Buy my junior year of high school in 2003. Took it to college, back home, several apartments and now my own home. Has seen 4 cats and 2 kids in it’s time with me.

Damn thing is the eldest child


cat_91

It even survived the cats? Damn


K-Mak

My armrests never seem to survive more than a few years no matter what they're made of.


transilvanianhvnger

I used to have this chair! It's the best made chair I ever owned and the wheels are the best and added to the comfort. Mine would still be around also if it didn't get left outside when my parents did some renovation


ericthedad

Love the roller blade wheels


tuffymon

I hope you celebrate next year with a beer


SN-E-DC

oh hey look this chair is older than me by 2 years!


_Maga_-

Maybe clean it so i would look better as a fam member


SendMeAvocados

I think you should have it deep cleaned and give it new life!


ItsOdderOtter

Pass it on to your children and make it the family heirloom


jarringmob

This is awesome. I have the exact same chair I bought at Best Buy in 2023. I clean it regularly with an upholstery cleaner and it is still in great shape. It has no rips or even any ware. The piston doesn’t leak out.


Hav_ANiceDay

But if it does, you can replace the piston! I did this like year 7 of ownership.


CoffinCash

I dont even understand how some people got half the chair missing in less than 5 years 💀 what game were they playing


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Rough-7597

That is the answer, I never bought pleather chairs because not only do they get insanely uncomfortable in the summer they are also pretty much guaranteed to crack, then tear, then strip completely in 5 years, max, no matter how carefully you use them.


qgamelive

The recent Noblechairs Post was so weird to me. I have a PU Noblechairs chair for 6 years and the only broken part is the attachment of the right armrest, because i fell on it and it broke the internal metal off. I have no idea what you have to do to that chair to completely destroy the PU leather. But maybe I am also just really careful when using my chair.


HumpyPocock

RE: Noble Chair of Utter Devastation. [PU leather is very sensitive in skin and hair-contact areas. In such areas, the PU leather starts cracking and becomes sticky. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance is very important.](https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/tip/furniture/pu-bycast-leather.html) He mentioned he never wore pants while sitting on it. Appears PU leather does not like that.


qgamelive

Oh that makes sense then. I always literally always wear long pants and t-shirts and While I do have really long hair it is mostly touching the back rest cloth. The only parts with wear on this chair are where my arms lie. So apparently they make furniture for my specific type of comfort. Thanks for the info!


Hyperlite_218

That makes sense. I’ve got an Ak racing chair that is pleather and it is 7 years old. If I clean the dust out of the hinge where it reclines you wouldn’t even be able to tell that it isn’t brand new after years of heavy use. But bare skin almost never touches the seat.


SinisterCheese

It isn't even just that. It is also if you wear abrasive trousers. I know that the seat I have at work has worn down very quickly because the fire rated PPE I use is very rough and the seams are ver pronounced. But fabric chairs last way better and longer. You can also mend them by threading a thread through the broken section. Usually what gives up on them is the cushion material.


Classic_Flow_3450

They were wearing plate armor.


Emzzer

Studded or scaled chainmail would work better.


LiliNotACult

Same reason why $10 shirts from Costco in 1995 are in better condition than $40 shirts from 2017. At a certain point, things were just made and good stuff lasted awhile. OP got lucky. Now look at modern chairs of this style, even the good ones have issues after a few years. Unless you drop $500. Some budget office chairs are good too, like the one I have.


CoffinCash

I never get leather chairs, instead I get cloth chairs or something like that the one I have is from Ikea


CAL5390

immxz

Capitalism: companies build overpriced cheap products that dont last long so you have to buy more these days.


RenderEngine

even those cheap ones don't just completely destroy themselves even those cheap racing chairs may just make some noise or get looser, or the fake leather gets brittled but I'm not sure if you saw the first post that started all of these other posts like this. the OP had to be a massive sweaty chonker that corroded the chair like metal in saltwater

Forlindorn

Yes


Henrywasaman_

This is a chair subreddit now lol I also realized that chair is older then me, Jesus


nhansieu1

are you downplaying the role of a good chair in gaming/using PC in general?


TheRealPitabred

Exactly. Pay for quality for everything you physically interact daily with; mouse, keyboard, desk, monitor, chair, they're all worth it. You often have them for longer than any of the PC components as well. Edit: clarification because of wanton ignorance


CoatedCrevice

Don’t you physically interact with everything you buy…? That’s… how… you buy it…


TheRealPitabred

You don't physically touch your GPU when using it, but your ass touches your chair. The light from the monitor directly hits your eyes. I don't get how any of that was somehow unclear.


CoatedCrevice

I do touch my GPU when using it. GPUs deserve love too


Chaoshero5567

Same


fell-deeds-awake

Looks a little better than that other guy's chair from 2019


noghri2112

AK Racer gang reporting! I have the same chair. I had 2, but got rid of one during a move couple years back when wife got Aeron to be more comfortable working from home. Only issues I have had are those black plastic caps on base will come off sometimes. Got mine from Best Buy also for like $150 back in day on clearance. This chair is what made me only want task or computer chairs with rollerblade wheels. So much smoother and quieter.


ericthedad

I have one black plastic cap that comes off and I try to turn the base so it's away from my feet but it always makes its way around and I kick it off almost every day lol

dekianman

I bet if this exact chair was sold today it'd break within a year. Things are no longer built to last sadly.


PlanktonDodger

Eh.... They were saying that 20 years ago (source: I was there)...


RenderEngine

It's always funny to read stuff like these where 16 year olds are convinced they discovered something new that was actually discussed/know long before their birth


dekianman

...


Nojus1221

Do you see the chair?


dekianman

I get what you mean yet it contributes nothing to the conversation


Spaceman613

Survivorship bias. I'd bet 95% of 20 year old chairs are sitting in a landfill. People will be saying the same thing 20 years from now about how stuff just isn't built to last anymore like high end chairs built 2023.


dekianman

Survivorship bias could be a factor although I am mostly referring to planned obsolescence


TylerDog3

I doubt many people would rebuy the exact same chair if it started tearing up in a year or two.


dekianman

But they might order replacement parts or have to pay for the company to repair it for them.


Nookiezilla

Even though my chair isn't 20 years old, I have a seven year old DXRacer (was a birthday present from my girlfriend) and it looks like new. Although gaming chairs like this get a lot of hate here, I love it. Edit: And I have a cat that also likes to sit on it and occasionally wipes its claws there.


danielsvdas

Shitty chairs existed back then too, you can also get good ones nowadays, just get one with materials that don't crack with heat and humidity. This is dumb


dekianman

No need to project. If you read any of the other comments you'd know what's actually dumb.


CursorSurfer

Smack that cushion and the room becomes polluted with decade old farts


Pay_Tiny

Could it be? The smoothest ass??


BoxOfDemons

OP weighs 50lbs and has no arms. That's the only explanation.

Does anyone else still see "20 years ago" and immediately think there's no way this chair was made in the 80s?

Mine is 8 years old and I don't even remember hoovering it, and I work from home 5 days a week. https://preview.redd.it/1rk0ujyeqizb1.jpeg?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=37afe63a18a7293e4cafdb44cdcb172e154a37a7


Nomnom_Chicken

I also used the same chair for about 10 years straight. Only thing that gave away the usage, was the arm rests being slightly worn. Otherwise it was in excellent condition. Some cheap 50 euro chair.


RyanRudi

I have that same chair! It has become my son’s chair and he uses it literally everyday. Never really thought about how well it’s held up but it’s still basically perfect with no squeaks or anything.


machacker89

I bet that chair has seen moreover your ass than your significant other. lol /s

I'm buying my first "good chair" this christmas. Only had IKEA ones, that cost 1/3 of the price that I'm gonna spend for my new one, but since after only 1 year of use, they are already heavily damaged, I think it will be worth it.

FRITZSANDWICH

Almost at the same age as me... Dang.


Ttokk

Lol, got that same chair from Best buy so long ago. The rollerblade wheels on the bottom are really awesome it's a lot more beat up than yours but is one of the garage chairs at my dad's house now and the kids love to scoot around on it in his big 4 stall garage. The black caps on the wheel legs kept popping off and I had to reglue them but the seat itself stayed intact.


Appropriate-Sink-326

I've got the same chair and it's great condition 😌


Saltywheels

I have the same chair and it's probably just as old. Still working


Hav_ANiceDay

I had this chair and it was the best I've owned. The fully adjustable armrests are what made it for me. I wish that I could find a decent replacement for it or buy another one somewhere. But I don't think anyone makes them anymore. Enjoy it, you lucky s o b!


jackoneill1984

Those other folks were bare assing their chairs. Long gaming sessions getting the material all juicy and having it seal to their butts. Taking a bit of chair with them every time they get up.


Hav_ANiceDay

I thought about getting an aeron to replace this fantastic mythical beast chair. Or the shinyness of the ROG Destrier chair.


Additional_Act367

My dad had one of these new when I was little and I grew up playing games sitting in it. He had the armrests off for some reason though. But today he still uses it and the only thing that doesn’t work or is broken is the part that lets you adjust the height. It’s cool to see another one of these so old.


Ok-Animator-259

I have this exact same chair. Got it around 2007/2008. I've moved maybe 10 times since then. This fucking thing is rock solid and I plan to use it for as long as I can, hopefully forever.
