I’ve been shrimping for decades with minimal back pain so I think I’m doing something right.
Weird. Here™ (swiss), we learned that always looking down (phone) is bad for posture.
Btw, screen top should be at least eye level.
bottom one totally me basically every night.
Til some people still use 15 inch screens.
If you’re going through the trouble of plugging a keyboard into your laptop, you might as well add a proper screen.
Wait, you’re meant to be looking down? I was always told my eyes should line up with the top of my screen.
Yes, level with the top of the screen, so you’re looking slightly down.
In the graphic the screen is way too.
It’s probably just as important though that the screen is in front of you, so you’re not constantly looking to the same side.
Also, slouching every once in a while is actually better than keeping the same “correct” posture for 8 hours straight. We’re built to move.
Don’t slouch, go walk around
I sit close to the bottom one. Apparently, a coping mechanism of undiagnosed ADHD, now diagnosed but hard to break the habit.
So in the office I sit kind of like the bottom image but my feet are in the seat. Maybe one sole down and the other foot I’m sat on.
At home my lower back is on the seat and my legs are on my bed.

Old people (I’m not even old yet) who used to sit like the below picture and have incapacitating back pain when they sit wrong now.
From what I understood it’s mostly about changing positions all the time. Any static position will cause discomfort if held for too long.
The bottom illustration is surprisingly accurate.

Usually it isn’t this bad, but yeah, it’s me.
Proof positive that even if you don’t think you have an ass, the right posture can make you look THICC
Isn’t lumbar support just a bit of marketing that Herman Miller made up in the 90s and that those kneeling chairs are actually the best ways to sit for long periods of time?
I understood that it is comfortable, but not good for posture, as it weakens the muscles by disuse, whereas kneeling chairs do the opposite.
I have no sources to substantiate this.
