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

MadYaker

A fascinating conundrum altogether. I just can't quite get my head around it.

Suggestions?

If your knees bent the other way, every time you sat down, you'd kick yourself in the face.

I know! I just can't picture it. Where would the legs be?

A stool

Talib Fiasco

F*ck your chair/couch, imagine the cut of us running or even walking!

The seat bit would be tilted forward, and probably a bar in front to rest your gammy legs on.

Anyone from Wexford town will know of the beggar with that affliction. Creeps me out every single time I see her. Not quiet as famous as Maggie Hurley but definitely something you don't forget

OP, having troubling telling arse from elbow?

Sure, as long as your hips bend the same way the chair could just have an extended seat to put your feet up... Problem solved!

How the fook would we walk if our knees bent the other way!! Do you want to answer that one first OP and then get back to us!

I'm not going near any chair designs 'til you answer that

King Of Wishful Thinking

They wouldn't look any different as you still have a back, arse and arms to rest but you sure would make more use of footstools.

Assuming our feet are still facing the right way we'd have to walk backwards to go forwards?? I think...

Yeah, if our feet faced forwards it would be quite awkward to walk forward wouldn't it and hence it wouldn't be the same as walking backwards now..... you're a pri** OP for messing with us like this

If our knees bent the other way as a result of the chair then the chair would look broken...or something.:o

Ah, your brain is as fried as mine is right now, damn this is mind boggling.

I shouldn't have clicked on this thread, I saw the title, I knew it was stupid, but I had to click on the bloody thread.

Like I said, the chair wouldn't need to look any different, as where your knees bent, makes no difference when you're sitting down.

Would be fcuking hard to get up though and so I'd imagine there would be an ejector button in all armchairs to spring us into action.

It'd be u-shaped with a piece missing in between your legs so that you can watch the telly.

PingO_O

You guys don't understand, the chair is just the beginning! Think of all the things we'd have to re-design;cars, airplanes, everything! The world would collapse!

What would we do with all the normal folk who still haven't evolved yet? There'd be massive competition for resources, outbreaks of violence and mass wars, and we're wondering what a bloody chair would look like? COME ON PEOPLE!

You shouldn't have asked this OP, keep your crazy thoughts to yourself!

Sorry, I'm bored

Would the knees not just go under the seat part instead of out in front of us? (assuming the feet are still pointing forward)

example:

King Of Wishful Thinking

I can't believe people are struggling with this.

People with no fecking legs, still use ordinary chairs.

So, if your knees bent the opposite way, the only thing different when you're sitting would be that you're legs would be straight out, as opposed to bending and resting on the floor and sooooooooooo .. all that is need is a fecking footstool and the ejector button in the armrest, otherwise - chairs would be the SAME!

TheBegotten

OP, this one of the most intrigingly baffling and utterly pointless questions I've seen all year. I love it. I'd imagine we'd walk like ostriches. Chairs would look like this:

| Backrest
}- Ledge for arse
|\ Lean shin against slanty bit.

confusedlad

If we were to be twisred from the waist down then we would only need to turn the chairs 180' to watch the soaps. Or my prefered option is beanbags for everyone

Lyaiera

Lying down in bed would be a lot easier.
