I have a Starbound Chair. I've taken a quick ride down on it a few times,
and have seen others do the same.
It is humorous, when it happens to someone else.
I think it happens when you unconsciously "tip" the seat up a bit, either
with a misplaced hand, or the back of a leg, while placing posterior on
plastic.
It wakes you up.
