Why just men? Pretty much anyone seeking nature, the outdoors, and some quiet time would like this.

Until sunset, when the big skeeters roll in.

I worry that's why the chair is empty. Someone got carried off by one of the larger mosquitoes.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

I defintely know more women that could just sit there and enjoy it than men. Now you add a fishing rod and some cold beers that would level if not completely flip the playing field.

If it's cool enough that the bugs aren't out, then yes definitely.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yeah, bugs are the one thing that could ruin it.

Otherwise best day ever.

We got my wife's dad like a beekeeper hat for when he goes fishing. We'd like to get him back, you know.

That spot looks like it would be swarming with mosquitoes.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Get a small fire going, or a thermacell

Absolutely. Not even a doubt. Bring my speaker for some music, a few preroll's, and a 6pk of beer and it would probably be a perfect day.

[–] Crostro@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Unless there's biting insects

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Adhd'er checking in. I wouldn't last ten minutes in that chair before getting up out of boredom.

[–] BlindPenguin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I may have to get checked...

[–] Andonyx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Think of all the rabbit holes you can get into looking up the history of the local flora and fauna. It's a sea of interesting stuff.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I don't get to choose when I hyperfocus and when I get bored 🤣

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Couple of hours is fine, more with a book. Otherwise, I guess I'm the 1%. Oh, and allergy meds first is a requirement

Edit: WTF is autocorrect even doing?!

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

All day long I'd probably get bored ngl. That looks like a primo reading spot though

masculinist gender ideology

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Daaaamn, is that a Grosfillex Miami monobloc resin outdoor patio chair in white!?

[–] Andonyx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Magnificent.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The mosquitos would ensure that chair remains empty, just like it is now.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I guess I'm the 1%.

[–] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

In our garden I have a bucket with a seat lid. When I love just sitting and watching the plants do their thing

[–] neomachino@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

For me it's the field out behind my barn looking into the woods, I built a nice bench out of left of 2x6. There's an insane amount of bird back there, all different kinds. I'll occasionally see a dead animal along the treeline and know it won't be long until the vultures come and carry it off, it's gruesome but very cool to see nature just doing it's thing.

switch me to a adirondack chair and I'm 100% about it.

[–] certified_expert@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Accoding to the likes, 92% agrees. So maybe not 99%, but still high!

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I've heard there are other genders on Lemmy than just men

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Too many flies on my face. Not worth it.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, that looks fucking great, where's the meme?

[–] meowcar42O@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

just appreciate the nice view, zote

[–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Depends on the temperature, humidity, mosquitos, and, of course, snack selection. But yes!

[–] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Looks like a pretty nice spot. Nice and cool in the shade.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Maybe like 5 to 7 hours, but yeah that's some good sittin

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Me with ADHD: That's pure torture.

is that water fine to swim in? I could swim all day with occasional breaks in the chair. otherwise sounds terrible.

Also, eyeroll at all these mEn WoUld WoMeN wOuLd memes. It's like the bottom of the barrel greeting cards at a chain pharmacy

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

That used to be me. My wife is teaching me about relaxation as a means of clearing the brain so I can be awesome again. Doing nothing for an hour or two is rough work but I'll get the hang of nothing eventually. I could one day be doing nothing all day.

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

This and some snacks

[–] trslim@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I am the storm that is approaching

Epic men moment men ftw

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Pass. Does masculinity require me to be a solitary misanthrope...?

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

With a book, absolutely

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

All it's missing is the fishing pole.
