If the post of the bar stool went into the floor, it could be
embedded sufficiently to remain steady. And if the floor
had multiple holes into which bar-stool posts could be
inserted, that would be almost as good as normal movable
chairs (except for trash getting into those holes, of course. |

Nonsense. It would not require any combination of
gyroscopes, clever power cord handling, wireless electricity,
and internal electronics and would therefore be objectively
worse. |

[Ian Tindale], okay, high-heel spikes would be expect-
able
to get caught in the holes. Alternative footwear should
be
recommended (there do exist high-heeled non-spiky
shoes
for women). But the holes don't need to be as big as
you
seem to be otherwise implying (maybe 2 to 3 cm in
diameter).
Modern materials tech is good enough for that diameter
of
post to be strong enough to support any ordinary human
body weight. |

[smendler], all the bar-seats could be swings! |
