You could burn all of your calories with a little bit of Kerosine in a few minutes! :fire:

Extended periods of standing (especially in the same position the entire time) can cause a lot of stress/strain on your back and shoulders etc. Over time it's known to cause problems and I think can wear down cartilage in your spine and neck? Not certain about that though.

I'm sorry I'm calling BS, that sounds more like a rumor than anything else. If it is true, please provide some studies to support it. This is how we get things like cellphones cause brain cancer (there are many much larger sources of EM radiation than your cell phone, your microwave for instance).

I got exposed to an open microwave before. Made my eyes burn like Hell for a day.

I don't see the point in getting a huge argument for it. No offense but I'd rather spend my time elsewhere lol. Simply Google around a bit and I'm sure that won't be hard to find. I have heard many people having issues with this including doctors (IRL, legitimate doctors) explaining some issues with it. A lot of the time I'm sure it won't necessarily cause permanent harm but most definitely does cause pain. Obviously there can be similar issues with sitting for prolonged periods of time as well though. At least when you're sitting you're comfortable though.
EDIT: And if you want to search yourself for sources and what not to prove me wrong that's fine I can admit to being wrong. I'm just speaking from personal experience more or less.
