      I was thinking swapping chaotic good and chaotic evil. Sitting on the armrest is horrible for the chair and liable to injure you when the chair falls over.

      Maybe also swap chaotic neutral and neutral evil. Also true neutral and neutral good. I must be getting old, my whole definition of evil is based on the risk of damaging furniture.

      I’m sorry, I don’t understand anything in the image apart from attempting to do one of those matrices like with hotdogs are sandwiches or whatever. What makes a seating position chaotic versus lawful?

        The impossibility of a sensible, coherent answer is part of why I find this stuff fun. Like, one of my friends enjoys arguing “every good is either a salad or a sandwich” and it’s a fun false binary to play with (cereal is definitely more of a salad than a sandwich, for example )

        It’s based on character alignment in Dungeons and Dragons. It’s somewhat complicated and I don’t fully get it, but the general idea is that lawful characters follow laws (including personal views and societal norms, I think), chaotic characters tend to disregard and even reject them, focusing on their own freedom and behaving more chaotically, good characters seek to help others and follow a moral code, and evil characters seek to harm others, especially to their personal benefits. Neutral characters in an axis behave mostly like normal/average people, generally leaning towards lawful and good, but unwilling to make significant sacrifice and capable of succumbing to temptations.

        As for what makes seating positions take certain places on the chart… Yeah, no, it’s just personal opinions without too much thought put into a joke. Generally though, IMO, lawful/chaotic would be about following/rejecting the letter of the rule, whereas good/evil would be about following the spirit of the rule. So lawful good sits correctly, lawful evil technically follows the rules but does it intentionally wrong, chaotic good tries to keep a healthy position while ignoring the guidelines, and chaotic evil just does it as wrong as possible.

      As someone with chronic pain, these are just the positions I cycle through trying to feel comfortable for a second.

    I’m true neutral for sure.

    I feel like lawful evil should be switch for chaotic evil, putting the shoes on the coach sounds bad

          The absolute derangement of Americans truly knows no bounds. /s

          Living in Germany, it’s always so astonishing to have people ask me whether to take their shoes off or leave them on when entering my flat. Like, dude

      they’re all evil. lawful isn’t “less” evil than chaotic. it’s just evil in a different way.

      all three lawfuls are sitting in a conventional way.

    LG should actually be LN - you’re sitting in the intended and expected position of the chair, following the rules of the chair design to a T. LG would probably be the same position but scooched to one side of the chair so another person could sit, and LE should actually be the same position as well but with a manspread.

    I knew I was evil, but I guess it’s some consolation that its effect is neutral.

    Chaotic evil. Really stretches out the neck muscles and relieves that pinched nerve that makes my hands go numb.

    So I’m a true neutral? I’d never guess that about myself …

      Do you sit everywhere cross-legged, and are you shorter than average?

      I find this is most often done by people at least one standard deviation below average height. I’m one of those people. My feet don’t touch the ground sitting normally in normal chairs, and it puts pressure on the back of the legs, making cross leg much more comfortable.
