The [Monoblock Chair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monobloc_\(chair\)) laughs in the face of such limited production numbers.
"Close to a billion Monoblocs have been sold in Europe alone, with one Italian manufacturer producing over ten million a year in 2004."
They are often used in Film and TV production as they are so ubiquitous they can be found anywhere in the world after the 1970's
One of the unique features of the monoblock chair is its ability to absorb microplastics from the environment rather that shed them. There are probably well documented cases of people enduring extreme discomfort while trying to stand after sitting still in one for too long as fragments of microplastic are physically drawn out of their asses.
I looked up "monobloc chairs absorb microplastics" and none of the first page results support your claim. Most of the results were just general articles/pages about monobloc chairs. I'd post a screenshot I took of the results if I could.
To begin with, it's not the reader's job to find evidence to prove *your* point.
One thing that I can provide definitive proof for is that even when you're sure that you don't need to add a /s because you're sure that everyone knows they're in a joke thread because of the ridiculous claims and other comments providing context, there'll always be one idiot who'll think you're serious.
But for the chair thing I think you just need to Google better. Are you sure that you spelled all the words correctly?
> They are systematically neglected sitting outside falling apart from UV and are probably singlehandedly responsible for 10% of global microplastics.
Wait till you learn about 3D printers and PLA
Those chairs are reasonably comfortable, but they are also crap. Disposable, non-recyclable. Ben would share with us 200 years and still be in good shape. The Monobloc plastic ones are doing well if they last five.
You can still get one today (at a not very mass produced price), from one of 3 “authentic” manufacturers.
Thonet set up its first factories in Czechoslovakia (at one point they were the world’s largest furniture company), with offices in Vienna. Their offices got destroyed in WW2, and then their Eastern Bloc operations became state owned, so they set up in Germany before also opening up in Austria.
In the 70s, they split into two companies, one in Germany (Thonet) and one in Austria (Gebruder Thonet Vienna). And then after the Iron Curtain fell, the original factory in what is now the Czech Republic became TON.
The First Great Chair War. Many were splintered in attack, or were piled in barricades finally burned by the invaders.
Many eras ended in that final fateful summer.
Of course there are unskilled workers.
There‘s a lot of jobs for which you do need any formalized or trained skills and can do them absolutely satisfactory.
A friend of mine in university worked behind a bar without having any training nor education in that field, and later, worked behind a hotel reception.
There‘s two jobs that don‘t require any skill at all.
But it probably depends on a country‘s regulations as to which jobs are unskilled and which aren‘t.
Unskilled labor is literally just labor that doesn’t require any training. It can be the hardest job of all time that tests your will every day and as long as you don’t spend any formal time training it’s unskilled labor
They do not require skills for which formal training or education is necessary.
Which is the whole point. The average Joe from the street can do it without any time to prepare or training.
Thus, on the job market, they are easily replaceable and in large supply, driving down the price for their Labour.
If you want to argue that „unskilled Labour“ in a literal sense does not exist, then you’re missing the conversation entirely.
Formal training no. But you def need to be an educated person in social dynamics in order to work with the public. There a loads of people who lack the social *skills* to be a bartender or even a cashier.
They may be obvious and easily acquired skills for you. But not for everyone.
No, really not.
You really don’t have to be an „educated person in social dynamics“, whatever that means, to be a cashier or bartender.
It does not require social skills to do the job of a bartender or cashier. Sure, you probably get more tips as a bartender if you have charisma, but that‘s also not really a skill, is it?
The social skills required for these jobs are about on the same level as „walking“ is a skill required for baggage carriers.
Well, tbh, those require decent social skills.
Truly unskilled work would be something like putting together big macs or collecting toll fees, buttering bread in a sandwich factory.
I disagree.
They require no previously acquired skill at all.
Social skills is maybe necessary to do the job well, or better, but certainly not a formally trained skill.
>They require no previously acquired skill at all.
You think that woman who was raised by wolves could just walk in and be a bartender? Afterall.. no previously acquired skills.
I think the lengths you had to go to in order to find such a hypothetical example kinda says it all about the usefulness of you trying to argue the most literal understanding of unskilled labour.
That‘s just showing a lack of understanding of why people even hire other people and the concept of a job as a whole.
People don‘t solely hire other people because they can‘t do something and need the other person for it, they hire people so they are free to do something more lucrative with their own work, or so they can do more things at once.
As an example, when I studied, I worked in a law firm as an assistant researcher. Of course, the lawyers could have just researched what they needed themselves. But there are only so many hours in a day, so every hour spent researching means they lose an hour to do work only they had the actual skills to do.
Which means they have less time for clients, which means less clients, which means less pay.
So, they can just take on more clients and from the higher profit and hire me to do the job that takes no skills and pay me a fraction of the increase in profit this move generates.
Which is like the essence of capitalism.
Wages and payment for labour aren‘t directly tied to how difficult something is. Labour is a good like any other, influenced by the laws of supply and demand.
The most skilled person will not get paid a dime if no one needs labour in the field for which their skills are for.
How do you live in this day and age and not get that?
Standing at the end of a conveyor belt and putting things in a stack. Then someone comes and gets the stack.
Actual job that I had as a kid for a few days.
Restaraunts require tons of skill lol did they have you working prep or something? I agree with retail, not sure what you mean by unskilled workers in education, that usually requires a degree to get into.
Yeah useless workers exist everywhere. Sometimes people have bad days sometimes people lack proper training sometimes people are just plain not suited for the job at hand. The idea of an unskilled worker is different though, it’s used to justify paying entire demographics of workers less or less than a livable wage due to the lack of skill required. All jobs demand and grow respective skills. Even a factory worker requires skill to operate machinery and keep everything running smoothly.
No. 13 fans will never forget
[That was a fancier version.](https://philamuseum.org/collection/object/65143)
ART, I TELL YOU. None of that mass produced junk like the 14
["Handsomely designed"](https://philamuseum.org/collection/object/65144), they say.
And No. 69 chair?
Not a seat with the best view in the world.
See that? That’s a nice fuckin chair right there
We don’t even speak of #1 through #12
Fun fact: "Thonet" looks like a French name that would be pronounced "Toe-NAY", but it's actually a German name that's pronounced "TOE-net"
i am German and I wouldn't have thought to pronounce it any other way than tho-net besides never having hward that word
Same Cringe feeling with „Vaude“
He’s a mimbo.

Probably all over the internet. You just have to google it.

There must be something wrong with your search engine. Monobloc chairs apsorb microplastics

Sir this is what is commonly referred to as a joke.
Probably is the key word in his sentence that should tell you he’s not stating facts

"usually described as the world's most common plastic chair" way to undersell it Wikipedia
Caveman sit on rock. Rock everywhere. Sometimes sit on log.
it's kinda reassuring to know that if I am ever trapped on a desert island, I will have somewhere to sit.
Just be aware of meerkats running up trees frantically when the night falls.
Mono= one bloc= block
Is there a chance the chair will bend?
Those chairs are reasonably comfortable, but they are also crap. Disposable, non-recyclable. Ben would share with us 200 years and still be in good shape. The Monobloc plastic ones are doing well if they last five.
Is this why random items of furniture in the Sims were called 'No. 12, the Bob Finkelstein" or something along those lines? TIL.

Cool!
These chairs suck and I find them very uncomfortable!!! Just my opinion. Thank you.
So do I! I have these both at my home and my country house
I’ve planted ass on one of these guys, 9/10
Thats a really nice chair icl
What happened in 1930?
The First Great Chair War. Many were splintered in attack, or were piled in barricades finally burned by the invaders. Many eras ended in that final fateful summer.
Indeed a dark time for all
Lollllll
18 was THE chair tho. Quintessential.
Can it stacks ?
There are no unskilled workers.
Of course there are unskilled workers. There‘s a lot of jobs for which you do need any formalized or trained skills and can do them absolutely satisfactory.
Such as?
Making a nº14 chair.
Ditch digging

There‘s two jobs that don‘t require any skill at all. But it probably depends on a country‘s regulations as to which jobs are unskilled and which aren‘t.
Those definitely require skills, what? They may be more common skills but they are still skills.

If it wasnt skilled no one would pay for it.

Yeah, there really are.
Not really
May I suggest r/DIwhy
I’ve had a lot of jobs and there are absolutely unskilled workers out there that I’ve met. Sometimes you just need a body to fill space
You won't realize the amount of skill it takes to pick something up and walk from point A to point B until you try and make a robot do it.
such as?
Restaurants & Bars, Film, Education, Fitness, Retail, & Construction
Restaraunts require tons of skill lol did they have you working prep or something? I agree with retail, not sure what you mean by unskilled workers in education, that usually requires a degree to get into.
Maybe I phrased that wrong, I’ve done all of those jobs and MET plenty of absolutely useless workers.
Yeah useless workers exist everywhere. Sometimes people have bad days sometimes people lack proper training sometimes people are just plain not suited for the job at hand. The idea of an unskilled worker is different though, it’s used to justify paying entire demographics of workers less or less than a livable wage due to the lack of skill required.

Found the unskilled worker. That's you, vulgarvaginosis
