The Peak of Human Achievement: A Chair on a Chin
Seriously? A chair. On a chin. For an hour and twenty minutes. Is this really what weve come to? While scientists are battling climate change, artists are striving for profound expression, and children are… well, just being kids, some man is dedicating his time – our time as a collective humanity – to balancing furniture on his face.
And not just any chair! Apparently, it was to recapture a title. Like thats the pinnacle of ambition! “I lost my crown!” he must have wailed, before embarking on this monumentally pointless endeavor. Did anyone ask him what pressing societal issues he was addressing? What brilliant insights into the human condition were gleaned from maintaining precarious equilibrium with a wooden seat?
I bet there’s an entire support system behind this: trainers, nutritionists, therapists probably just to cope with the sheer absurdity of it all. And were celebrating! Were awarding records for feats that contribute absolutely nothing but fleeting internet amusement and a vague feeling of existential dread.
Frankly, I have better things to do than contemplate the physics of chair-chin balance. Like questioning all my life choices that led me to read about this in the first place. Someone get me another cup of tea and a very long nap; I need to forget I ever learned about this.
