Pro tip: Add a background image to your video conference for privacy.

Most unsettling part here is toilet paper positioning (if not cat owner).

    So it would look like you are chest deep in a toilet. It's the way I prefer it anyway.

    The toilet paper is loaded backwards

    Excuse me, that's the best way to load toilet paper. The best overall, however, is a bidet. Ascend, my child.

    Is there a way on Lemmy to downvote and upvote at the same time?

    The first part of your statement says you should up your meds, the second part is lucid though.

    Lemmy needs to distinguish itself with character-level voting. Somebody made a great post but unironically used an interrobang? Hit 'em right in the analytics.

    A bonus is you can invite your dental hygienist over and have your teeth cleaned while you work

    I don’t think people realise that these setups (less exaggerated) are usually for disabled or chronically ill people unable to sit up.

    For some chronic illnesses. Yeah. But imagine that for life. And that’s the best you feel. It can get worse. Sometimes for long periods, you don’t know if you will get back even to the that “shitty best you feel”. And even at your best, you barely feel a fraction as good as a healthy person.

    You don’t get to feel okay your birthday, or on christmas, or when you need to do something special. You just feel ill, like a bad hangover or bad flu, in perpetuity.

    That’s the reality for a lot of severe chronic illnesses.

    Can get a dental cleaning during meetings, awesome

    Combining "company quarterly review" with "dental cleaning", while time efficient, is a kind of sensory combo that's right up there with "nuts and gum". Sounds great until you think it through a bit.

    Edit: I've actually done the latter by accident. 1/10 - "I don't know what I expected."

    That looks a lot more expensive than just a VR headset and a recliner or bed you likely already own. And in VR you can pick whether it's 3 monitors, or one seamless curved triple-wide, no matter what you own in real life. And you can keep the monitor(s) with you when you stand up if you want.

    But, what I'm curious about... how is this a "shoes on" occasion?

  • it's not a sounding tool, it's a "i have significant trouble getting or staying up, or significant trouble with urinary continence, or both: and have a penis, and do not want to use a traditional catheter" tool. dad used them when he was dying and losing control of (all of) his muscles so he wouldn't wet the bed at night at 65. it's basically a condom that, instead of having a little bubble for semen at the end, it has a non-inserted catheter, so you can urinate into it. they make at-home catheter management a lot easier, as foleys only safely last a month to my knowledge.

    When I see this I think of the week I worked flat on my back with sciatica. It was literally a pain my neck as I turned my head sideways to look a laptop on the side on the floor.

    So I see a guy with bad sciatica, but a more comfortable work setup.

    Buddy I just did that today from my bed threw the laptop aside and slept 30 minutes more. Luckly I don't use my cam for meetings.

    I'd get tired of picking the mouse up off the floor. Wonder how long it would take for me to learn to not drop it - like an astronaut just back from the space station.

    I work at home. In my bedroom. My gamer computer has a couple monitors, but the big one is the 43 inch TV, pointed right at my bed. After all the meetings are done for the day, and most of the complicated stuff is over with, I move to that computer and relax there propped up on pillows with my keyboard on my stomach, mouse on another pillow, perfectly reclined, much like this guy with all his gear, except I don't need assistance removing myself.

    ... but ... that has to be some photoshop shit. It looks like the xray machine at the dentist office with some monitors attached. Probly radioactive.
