    I've been thinking about this for the last few hours, even have a nice little design taught up.

    What would chairs look like if our knees bent the other way?

    lol
    a box maybe

    Here's my first draft. Promising design could work as a desk too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,648 ✭✭✭jezza


    They would look the opposite than they do now...
    Or after a few vodkas.

    I'm afraid the rollercoaster has already been invented.

    Besides we'd just use regular chairs but the other way round. Cowboy style.

    Yee haw!

    Some further enhancements! The possibilities are endless

    I'm afraid not, the top of our legs would bend the same way, its just our knees that would bend the other direction. A normal chair would be useless if you wanted to rest your feet rather than having them dangling up in your face

    Yes, but we'd now sit with the tops of our ties resting on the seat of the chair rather than the bottoms of them, if you get me.

    So there'd be no need for you new fangled design (which as I've pointed out is just a rollercoaster box) unless these new knees are rigid and the bottom of our legs are fixed in place.

    I'm afraid you have it all wrong! We would still sit on our ass and the bottom of our thighs the conventional tried and trusted way, but instead of our knees bending the rest of our legs to the ground, they would be bending the other way.
    Perhaps another picture would help you get your head around this facinating concept!!

    We wouldn't use chairs... just bar stools.

    Naw man, human beings would adapt.

    You can't just take down the chair industry like that. There are a lot of powerful people in chairs.
