That is atypical.

Now if you become one with a chair for most of the day, expect it in your 40s. And expect an active 80+ year old to physically kick your ass by the time you hit 60.

But 30s? That’s an outlier.

If the wheel was emotional pain, I think it would be more appropriate.

Psychic troubles will sooner or later affect the body and might explain what the meme describes.

No joke.

I had about 15 years between 30 and 45 as a zero-exercise desk jockey and it early killed me.

The deterioration was unreal. Took a few years to get back fitness and any kind of core strength.

So, my best advice to young people with desk jobs : Keep up your exercise, even if it’s just a little.

it early killed me.

Prophetic typo

Back pain stared when I was 10 then my knees in my mid 20s. Buy a good mattress and go to the gym people!

Hey I'm exceptional at something at last.

I dunno about it being as much of an outlier nowadays. People seem to sit a lot for their jobs, and then glue themselves to their couch when they get home.

Getting up and walking around a bit goes a long way.

You underestimate my unity with my chair.
