dear figgies community

im thinking of buying an eames lounge chair for my (cheap) rental apartment. its like 5k. it looks good and im guessing it should have some resale value

im aware this makes me edible as per the latest yospos memes

please offer your thoughts (and prayers)

buy the chair your rear end deserves, op. figgies are made to be spent.

out of loyalty to the pedantic roots of the great figgie debate, i feel obligated to inform you that dropping one or two figgies on a chair would require you to spend somewhere between 90% and 99% of your gross income, which seems excessive for a piece of furniture, however nice it may be

a 90% reduction is a 10% retention i.e. decreasing log10(cash)+1 by exactly one, such as from a marginally middle-class income like 219k to 21.9k. 99% is a 1% retention

Given a total annual compensation X, figgies are calculated as 1 + log(base 10) X.
Given figgies F, total annual compensation is calculated as 10 ^ (F - 1).

1. they are not as comfortable as they look
2. you can get a used one w/ new upholstery for a couple grand
3. knockoffs are even cheaper

i mean it's literally made of plywood. when you live in a loving rental, there is no reason to spend $5k on plywood and stitching ok?

By convention, operations on figgies are first converted to units of currency. Thus, for figgies, 2+2 is approximately 2.3.

wrong, it’s 449999.5 because that’s halfway between 100000 and 999999

but probably 449999.50000001 because a computer toucher who didn’t know any better thought it’d be OK to convert it to floating point representation at some point.

Figgies do not increase linearly. If they did, then 6.5 figgies would equal $6.5.
