I can’t wait to see people passing out or getting injured because of these seats.

E: plenty of people arguing like people of good health will be the only passengers.

What could go wrong standing for two hours... Nothing probably if you're a healthy young individual

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

People are often advised to not lock their knees for a long time while standing (ex: marching band, or standing at attention in the military), and you cannot force anyone to have healthy posture. The ergonomics of these seats appear to take some of the load off the legs and feet, but it's something to consider for patrons with more sedentary lifestyles. Many people believe themselves to be fit individuals until they are placed in uncomfortable conditions for a long time or experience unexpected stress. They could manage to injure themselves in some way, then find some reason to litigate.

honestly might even be more healthy

See, this is an example of Hopium. Or toxic positive optimism. Tech Bro shit. But I think you're joking. I hope you're joking.

Only if you do it on a regular basis, not a one-shot like this (if you do not stand a lot usually).

Also, Turbulence!

apparently trombosis is a rather large problem even when flying only occasionally for vacations. That's what I meant.

But yeah, turbulences could give you a headache lol

How fat you would have to be to pass out from standing for 2 hours?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm skinny and I'll pass out in less than an hour. Have severe POTS from EDS, heart went into asystole after 35 minutes into a tilt table test and they had to put me back down. I've passed out several times in other settings.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

So you got a skip journey button and you say this is a bad thing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Right? And we should just take all the unfit people and just put them in camps and create a perfect society, right? Like, I get angry at America for being so fat, but not because they're fat. I get angry at how far down the pipeline we have gone of lowest common denominator thinking. To the point where we just eat poisonous food that our body doesn't know how to process and just stores as fat. Also, capitalism is in crisis. With lowest common denominator thinking add a little slippery slope and the power in the hands of the few with a sprinkling of toxic positive optimism with the cherry of Hopeium and now we've got out of touch shithead sundae. I mean, people are claustrophobic and, you know, I think the claustrophobic element makes it even worse when you're crammed with other people. Some of the outbursts that we see on planes is not just people losing their minds, but it's also that people are crampacked in a plane. I can see a lot more mental episodes with this type of seating Structure. And I get angry at society cheering on diminishing returns for the working class, while the billionaires are making money over hand over fist. They justify rich people to be in charge of things and to profit, but they still have yet to innovate and give us the future that they said they were going to. We're being lied to and this is just an example of you getting dominated.

I don't know about how much fat it might take, but my 2 knee surgeries and both my deteriorating hip joints, (been searching eBay for a good used hip joint for cheap), tell me that standing for 2 hours is a painful idea.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

They will lock in place and you will be gucci for 10 hours

Afterwards you just ask this 6'3 bear like guy to give you a slight kick and off the ramp you slide out like a newborn out of uterus

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Just wait til they stick these on international flights. You'll stand 14 hours and you'll love it, peasant.
