AFAIK, standing all day isn't any healthier than sitting all day. No idea about the last panel tho ...
Pure anecdote, but as someone with a long, shitty back, I definitely noticed a marked improvement in how my back felt when I switched to a standing desk.
Maybe that's part of the reason I can't sit still too long, for I too have a long, funky back.
My back feels better, but my hips are killing me
I'd get pain in my feet (flatfoot) and my lower back about one hour in.
Are you standing all day, or are you swapping between sitting and standing throughout the day?
I stand all day. When I first switched I alternated when my legs got tired, but that only lasted a couple days.
You’re suppose to move around throughout the day. Being sedentary is what makes it unhealthy. Standing in the same place all day is as bad as sitting in the same place all day.
Offices are bad for our health.
Hybrid desks are where it's at. As soon as I start to get uncomfortable sitting in up like a meer cat. Then twenty minutes or so later back down I go.
A Home Assistant standing desk controller exists. I don't have a standing desk, but if I did I'd have it automatically rotating every half hour.
Would this actually be healthier, or would it be just as bad as sitting?
I don't know, but I actually do want to try it
The constant bouncing would definitely be a lot more exercise than sitting.
Hmmm... does this mean bouncing my leg all day counts as exercise? :P
yes
Are those supposed to be the bouncy things rhat young children have?
I think so
They exist for adults too, but I've only ever seen extreme versions at carnivals.
Wow, I’d forgotten about this strip! I used to start my day with several comics and they were one but that was years ago now
