Do Laptops Cause Double Chins?

[Colmc54]

Sitting at a laptop you are always looking down. The venous and lymphatic drainage stagnates and maybe more fat is deposited.
It's just a theory but only a PC with an independently positioned monitor meets the recommendations set out by the H and S executive.

Only if you eat a lot of them.

Droll as always OG but it really isn't healthy to sit for hours with your neck flexed downwards by 45+ degrees.

Colm, the H and S executive recommendations are about spine safety not avoiding a double chin!

Most of us have bad posture anyway. I always used a laptop (when I couldn't avoid doing so) with a proper keyboard attacked and a proper monitor attached.

I see they haven't solved this Kaspersky / site issue yet then.

Maybe our species will evolve into a more computer friendly shape and our muscles change to accommodate our technological requirements. A problem in this house is my keyboard's ability to attract cat hairs - whilst the hairs are still attached to the cat

Big Billy our 8kg monster cat, all cats being thermophiles, likes to sit on my Surface's keyboard. I don't have the heart to move him after all he went through before we rescued him.

Frankie has asthma and is on Prednislone, since treatment started he has gone up to 5.5kg. I thought that was heavy and big. Big Billy proves otherwise. I hope that he has a long future of happiness, and bullying you, ahead of him. Fascinating animals - also very frustrating.

I would have thought its no different than reading a book, and people have been doing that for 100s of years.

[Colmc54]

The reason Billy is with me is because after decades of being a vet I think he was gracious enough to acknowledge that I had some rudimentary understanding of what it's like in a cat's version of reality.

His lower canines are all but gone, who knows what desperate solutions were needed for him to survive.

We too now have to make a decision about what's best for the survival of our socialist/capitalist post-WW2 experiment.

We need to leave so we can rediscover who we actually are and decide for ourselves what we believe in and what we don't. We have been submerged under the authority of the EU for too long.

[Canary42]

? ? ? ? I don't follow - are you now blaming the EU for double chins ?

[1ozzy]

No, they are responsible for big toothless cats and laptops ;-)

[Colmc54]

Ha Ha, I think I nodded off and woke up on another thread hence the detour off the topic. I think most will realise that my original answer was tongue in cheek as well as double chin!

Yes these corpulent EU bureaurocrats all have double, even treble chins from slouching over the laptops perched on their bloated paunches. That's why we should leave lol!

[CrapAtCryptics]

Anyone else think its odd how the Kaspersky blip only works sometimes as in OGs posts above

Make that lap dogs not laptops ozz.

And those cats on your keyboards. Are they tabby cats?

[Colmc54]

After a while maybe QUERTY cats. I'm watching the football right now considering a question in the sport section with the Surface at eye level. Every now and again I massage under my chin to maintain circulation while keeping an eye out for Billy the thermophilic pouncer!
