Are those desks with built-in chairs? Is that actually a thing?

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 15 points 2 months ago (3 children)

You don't have these?

Even in college, I'm sitting in these horrible things.

Reminds me of these:

And the only time I saw one of those was on a school trip when we learned about life during WW2

We had modern versions of these in the 90s. The desks were dope too, you could store your lunch in there and school meals were subsidised enough that people usually wouldn't steal.

Also you could keep your slingshot, stash of cherry bombs, firecrackers, ar-15 ammunition, nazi memorabilia, and nuclear arsenal launch codes in there and no one would say a thing. Sigh the world is too safe now.

They make THE BEST spine-crackers. You missed out.

It has been 16 years since high school and I still miss cracking my back on these things.

So what did you do when you needed to move around to do group work or anything that required a larger table?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I got pretty good at squatting and moving them around like I was wearing a go-kart costume.

They could be moved and made to face each other
