Mayonnaise is cut when a woman has the rule, the government throws hormones in the tap water to control the population and play the PlayStation in the living room of your home is a risky sport that can cause you serious injuries from the waist down . These are the three big problems of our time and, although the first two have no fix, Puma has found the solution for the most important.

The German multinational sells it as if it had found the philosopher's stone for video game lovers but its two star launches for this Christmas are still a pair of slippers to be at home - for the modest price of 90 euros , yes - and a rocking chair - like the one your grandmother had covered with a knitted toquilla - that costs 229 euros .

After hearing the news I had to search Google if it was a joke of the Day of the Holy Innocents but it turns out that the thing is totally serious because, as everyone knows, playing the console or the computer in the living room of your house is A strenuous physical exercise that requires specialized footwear to prevent all kinds of injuries and ailments. This is a problem of such magnitude that the specialists in sports medicine of the Royal Institute of Medicine of Lepe are already studying it .

Under the name of "active gaming footwear" - which in the language of Cervantes could be translated as something like "sneakers for active players" - the Bavarian sportswear brand sells these slippers at home as state- of-the-art sports shoes .

As benefits of the product, the brand highlights that this footwear fits the feet like a sock, which is breathable, that has a rubber outsole that gives it a special grip for roofed floors and that is also complemented by a template with two layers of different densities modeled with 3D so that the foot does not dance. You can see it yourself in this promotional video.

It was time for a brave man to take a step forward to put an end to the endless list of kids and kids who collapse the consultations of podiatrists and physiotherapists after having suffered an injury playing Fifa or Fortnite.

However, specialized footwear is not enough. It was necessary to go one step further. Millions of people have been playing video games badly since the PlayStation was launched 25 years ago . Having a vice in the console sitting on the sofa, in the bed or in the chairs in your house has prevented you from giving your best and, therefore, it was necessary that Puma also launched an invention that gives you " total freedom of movement "to" get maximum performance when playing ".

Like the renaissance, it was a period of splendor for humanity, recovering the classic Greco-Latin knowledge, the gaming world - a label that usually serves to enchant any product related to computer science or videogames by magic - is going through a new era of flowering rediscovering the rocking chair of yaya house .

Now millions of people can enjoy "the fun of sitting" (I swear that this slogan is used by the company as a claim is real) and play video games as God commands. At last!

Since at this point in the text you will have been able to intuit, I think that all this has less logic than ordering coffee with saccharin after compulsively swallowing half a kilo of roscón, than taking out life insurance for the incorrupt arm of Santa Teresa or Pol Pot Give the Nobel Peace Prize for his deep respect for human rights. Go ahead that everyone is free to do what he really wants and spend his money on whatever he wants but sometimes it is necessary to stretch his arm, point the finger and shout that "the king is naked " .
