Why don't desk chairs have seat belts? (lemmy.world)

So they say that sitting too much shortens your life and all that. They also say that most of us sit incorrectly. I know I do. I constantly slide my butt forward and slouch. And I was thinking, what I need is a seat belt to keep me from sliding forward. But such a thing doesn't seem to exist. There must be some problem with them that I am missing. Since Lemmy has lots of desk jockeys, I figured I would ask here.

You can’t slouch when wearing a seat belt?

If it's one of those race car 6 point belts it's pretty much impossible.

“Why don’t desk chairs have a 5-point harness?” 😂

Clearly OP had never taken a ride in a car

Well, I figured it would at least keep my butt back where it belongs, and maybe that would reduce the slouching. I also have a problem with my shoulders... seems when I slide forward, the arms of the chair are closer to my shoulders causing all sorts of issues.
