Really? Really with this archaic technology? With all the preaching going on about wood recycling, are we really are going to sit on these hard wood, butt breaking, planks? Picnic tables allow 6 people to sit at a table. Great. Great. There's absolutely no accommodation allowed for posture or expression, it's just a plank of wood. Maybe someone wants to cross their legs. Maybe they want to slid out a bit. Maybe they want to “skooch” away from their neighbor. Not possible with the picnic table. We have the technology, people. We have the means. We don't have to settle for the picnic table. 3D printed modular tables exist and they are cheap. The only thing preventing customizable table progression are the people who vote every time they sit. Maybe you don't realize this but every time you sit at a picnic table you're voting. You're voting for the status quo of social sitting. You're living in the past. We don't need it and it shouldn't exist and you’re the problem.
