Should all furniture items be restricted to 10lbs/4.5kg?

[Rock Lobsters]

I don't know how you can make Washing Machines, Stoves, or Fridges less then 10 pounds. Or Beds for that matter.

It simply can't be done, unless you try to make it out of a material that simply won't be durable such as Styrofoam or cardboard.

A cardboard stove...I can see the fires now.

Infected Mushr....Wait, Galloism?

Seriously though, great satire.

Carbon FIber

trust me mate that stuff isn't nearly durable as they say it is.

[Valystria]

Seriously though, great satire.

Why brush it off as satire? The reform proposal has genuine merits to it.

Maybe because it's satire? This doesn't take a genius to realize.

[Grand Britannia]

Why stop there.

You can cause serious injury to yourself by tripping and falling on concert, which is used in a lot of homes and buildings in America. We should ban concrete, too.

We should also ban mirrors since some people are triggered by their own reflation and vampire-kin find it offensive.

It doesn't matter if it's satire or not. It has no bearing on the validity of the proposed reforms.

You're right. This here is an obvious trigger warning for those affected by similar events as myself. Anyways, I won't belabor the point, here goes;

My life hasn't been the same since the traumatic experience I experienced on January 8, 2010. I was moving furniture from the house of my deceased grandfather's house, when an ottoman was dropped on my foot. I....I.....I broke my toe.....

I'm sorry, I just can't continue, it's too much. GALLOISM, YOU BRAVE BASTARD, BAN IT, BAN IT ALL!

[Ifreann]

Better to ban all furniture.

[Zaldakki]

Someone should write a nationstates issue out of this.

[Grand Britannia]

It does due to the impossibility of all furniture being limited to a ridiculous weight ceiling, and even if we had the materials for it no one is gonna buy them because they're bloody expensive for the common folk.

Totally doing that now.

We should just take it a step further and ban humanity IMO.

This is a cause that I can get behind. Forget saving the whales.

[The Serbian Empire]

Yeah, how do you intend to ensure structural stability under conditions of heavy load?

Heavy loads are part of the problem. Themselves, they would be illegal.

This sounds like a candidate for thread of the year 2016 and we haven't even entered 2016 yet!

Government subsidies should help with the upfront costs, but with mass production the price of carbon nanotube furniture should come down.

Yes.

Perfect.

It doesn't matter if it's satire or not. It has no bearing on the validity of the proposed reforms.

because for a large number of furniture items this is flat out impossible without either:
A. weakening its structural integrity
B. making it impossible to use for its intended purpose.

If you feel that way you should make a thread for it.

There can be regulatory categories with different limits for different types of furniture. There need not be impossible to meet weight targets. A gradual move towards lighter furniture weights would be beneficial.

When the OP doesn't take him/herself seriously, then I see no reason to be serious.

And it has no bearing on the validity of the content of the OP.

You are entitled to feel that way. For the rest of us an OP intended as satire can be a starting point into meaningful reforms.

you know what would be easier, teaching people to lift the proper way.

We should probably consider banning whales, too.

That is why the weight targets can be gradual and phased in as the technology allows for it.
