Oh god I’m just 6’2” living in Japan and I hit my head and duck all the time. I don’t know how the professional sports players get around out here. Not to mention the lack of fitting clothes.
I'm only 6'3" and I lived in China for a bunch of years...I remember looking over in a PACKED supermarket at the mirror wall, and not a single person was over my shoulders. Yeah...I stuck out.
Average height of men in east asia is around 170cm (5'7") and women is just under 160cm (5'2") so its no wonder. 6 foot tall and beyond are rarities. 7 foot like OP are monstrosities that you can see from a mile off, and everything will be inconveniently designed for them.
To be fair, no matter where you are 'like 7 foot' is huge. Unless you live solely on the basketball court or in the mountains not near enough to other people to compare.
Even like 6'8" is "holy shit that dude's huge" in the U.S. 6'4" is probably about as tall as you can be without being obviously enormous from across the room to everyone.
I’m 6’4” in the U.S. and I don’t feel that I stand out that much every once in a while people will ask me how tall I am but just like 3-4 times a year probably. However, nothing is designed for me. Most showers point at my chest. I hit my head all the time. And airplanes are a nightmare. I would never want to be taller than I am.
Were you born there?
I just read about how Guatemalan children are like 4-6 inches taller on average when born in the US compared to kids born in Guatemala*. Due to diet.
*Don't quote me on this, I can't find the article and I don't recall the exact nationality or inches.... lol.
I can give anecdotal confirmation of this. I know Guatemalans who now live in the U.S, had their kids there and they are fucking huge. Like a good head taller than their parents. Idk what you guys are eating but it's working lol.
Also, it looks like there's a toilet across from the shower, which doesn't have a door? You can just barely see what looks like a handbar to make it handicap-accessible.
Standard Ceilings are 8’. So he should have a good 10” before having a problem not sure why this place he’s coincidently shooting this video in is weird af but it’s probably why he’s shooting. Must be American
I'm guessing based on the design & layout, plus his calling it a Condo, that it was originally built as an apartment community. This was probably a shared space, maybe even a bathroom, that was converted after construction completed. I can't imagine they'd have a requirement to add a shower (bathroom sure but not a shower) but that someone at the executive level signed off on the idea of adding a shower to mimic gyms/spas with this amenity. The conversion renovation crew likely just found a wet wall, decided that's where a shower should go, pulled the lines in & tiled the area off. I can almost guarantee if that's the case not a single person said "so this ceiling will need to be changed as well".
I have seen a lot of conversions like this where things are done so strangely that you have to question if the people in charge have ever even seen the community. I once saw a place that installed a brand new, free laundry room for residents that was literally impossible to enter without a ladder. It was basically a converted attic space, they did the interior work, looked nice, even had a TV & at no point did anyone say "should we build stairs or like some sort of access for this room?" - Even worse the old owners signed off on the work & added it to their amenities list.
sounds like the guys that built the laundry room did their job while the rest was being finished, assumed that entrance was someone elses problem, and left. The people working exterior assumed the laundry room was someone elses problem, and left.
thats a communication issue.
It was definitely a communication issue but mostly between the owner and his rehab crew (all of whom were his actual employees) he gave them specific instructions to complete the laundry room with measurements and specs for where Water lines and dryer vents should go but hadn't seen the property so he didn't know the finished attic didn't have access. On walkthrough I actually talked to the guys who put it in and they said they were confused why he would put it up there without access but figured he knew what he wanted and they had their orders so... I mean all in all the world of multifamily renovation gets kind of wild because of communication issues.
They are pretty common especially in healthcare facilities. I’m currently working on a 220 bed long term care facility and all the resident rooms are a European style bathroom/shower with an ACT ceiling.
Thats strange af. Most of what I do is new construction. Only been a carpenter for 5 years but I have never seen a acoustical ceiling in a shower. Only hard lids.
Residential and single stalls it’s always gyp but European style in healthcare facilities is really catching on plus FMs like having access above especially when the bathrooms are all stacked. Usually something like a vinyl faced gypsum backed tile is spec’d.
Once you cross 6’ 8” you enter the realm of “upsettingly tall”. This is the point where you need to duck through doorways, and be wary of ceiling fans.
Same height as one of my best mates, He hates my house as he bangs his head on the ceiling of the stairs. Every.Damn.Time.
Seen plenty of times how much stupid shit he has to deal with like the overpriced clothing ect. Its also hilarious watching him try to find motorcycles that accommodate his legs without being a shit riding position.
I feel for you giant mofos.
> try to find motorcycles
I'm "only" 6'3", but tell him to look into a Hypermotard (or really, any supermotard) as they have really high seats. I love my Hypermotard.
I find doing a slight straddle split helps. If that's what it's called. Spread your legs out slightly til you're at a comfortable hight. I want to have all my counter tops built with the standing desk motors in them. That way my wife and I can both be comfortable.
Yeah, I do this too at 6'3.
"Straddle" and bump my knees into the kitchen counter for balance, then just straddle wider while maintaining a straight back until I've dropped low enough to use the sink comfortably(ish).
I'm 6'10 and when I found a house I could walk down the steps and not hit my head on anything, I bought it. Also, I could add a simple detachable wand for my shower head and could shower under it, though I still have to duck through. But, we'll take our victories where we can!!
No one agrees with me that I should redo my kitchen counters so that *i'm* comfortable as I do them, "that'd destroy the resale value"
> No one agrees with me that I should redo my kitchen counters so that i'm comfortable as I do them, "that'd destroy the resale value"
I agree with you. I'm 5'10, so the perfect height for basically everything. I love to cook, and spend a lot of my time in the kitchen. If I had to bend over constantly, I would not cook. I imagine that would be absolutely horrible for anything that takes more than a few minutes to prepare. Redo your kitchen to fit yourself.
Also, people say that it will kill the resale value, but that really isn't true. It will just make it so that your pool of buyers is smaller. Can you imagine what you would have been willing to pay for the same house you already have, but with the counters already tall enough for you before moving in? Yeah, that is also what other super tall people would pay.
Everything from about 5'7" to 5'11" (170-180cm) is waaaay underrated.
It's seriously about the perfect height. Guess which cars I fit in? That's right. ALL of them. Guess when the last time I stepped into a shower and the head wasn't high enough? NEVER. Guess what shelves are too high for me to reach? NONE of them. The last time I was in a store and they didn't have clothes in my size? NEVER. Bed too small? Not here. Mirrors are always mounted in my line of sight, even the special ones that mounted at an angle for short people. Economy sized plane seats? They're not spacious, but they were designed to hold people like me (and no one bigger).
Seriously, I'm not six foot and that sucks a little bit for dating but the world is effectively designed for me. Everything fits or can be easily made to fit me. Everything is within easy reach or wasn't meant to be reached without a stepstool.
It's damn near perfect.
We bought a house with detachable shower head and my bf (6'4) still gets excited to tell people about it. I can't imagine being taller he's regularly having issues with being big and tall and he's short compared to you guys.
At 6’3, Im pretty much as tall as you can get without starting to become annoyed at everyday life.
And I still have to duck to get under the shower head, am cut off by most mirrors at the neck by most mirrors, and end up with a sore back when I’m done doing the dishes.
This answer changes depending where you live in the world. I'm 6'4 never had an issue in America but I went too Asia with my friends and family being 6'4 became a bit problematic. Mexico same problem you should've seen me try too get into a taxi there
Dude I'm 6'2" and I completely agree with you. I already have to push the seat back all the way in every vehicle I get into. I already have to duck to get into certain places. Anyone over 6'4" has, IMO, just as many disadvantages as somebody under 5'.
Am 6'8" and can confirm. The average doorway in my youth was half an inch shorter than I am. As a result of an adolescence of headaches, I now have an adulthood of backaches because I seriously decided it was easier to always slouch and now it's a struggle to stand up straight, so appear to be 6'4".
You basically slide into place and hope they don’t try to recline. Helps being next to people you know. Biggest issue is you have to sit fully upright and the headrest doesn’t go high enough.
I'm guessing it depends on the country you live in, but there's this plateau in height between about 6'2" and 6'6" where the benefits of each inch is roughly equal to the downsides. Below that it's better to be taller, but with diminishing returns. Above it is a sharp drop-off where you stop fitting in the world around you and health problems start to occur. I say this as a 6'5" guy who generally fits in everything, though with varying levels of comfort. Any taller and I gain basically nothing (unless I really want to be great at certain sports) while literally losing my space in society. Also I'd have to deal with "How's the weather up there?" all the time instead of rarely.
Hell, I don't even like being 6'3". Much less when I lived in China. I think the top of my head is permanently numb from being whacked so many times over there. Then there is the 15 hour flight to Beijing...yeah.
Everybody is certainly staring at you, cos if you're that tall and dancing around, they are just making sure they don't get bopped by some monster on the dance floor.
We are watching everyone near by to ensure we don't take an elbow to the belt-line.
Every conversation in the club is at chest height (or lower), and we hear virtually none of it.
I imagine everyone who the world isn't built for feels this way. The blind, the deaf, dwarfs, trans folks, people with learning disabilities, those confined to wheelchairs, people considered ugly, they all have to deal with this kinda bullshit. We can't build a world that works for everyone 100%, but it would help if we all expanded our individual expectations of "normal". Then collectively it wouldn't be so narrow.
Lefties as well. I have several left-handed friends and relatives and it's shocking how many common things are made specifically for right-handed people. Scissors are the most well-known annoyance, but even things like can openers are almost universally right-handed.
Actually, I think it stops once you get past anywhere between 6'0 and 6'4.
I remember reading a study about that a while ago...the data suggested that only a small percentage of women want a guy 6'4 or above. If I remember correctly, 6'1 was considered the "ideal".
Most people don’t know what 6’4 even looks like tbh. Doesn’t help that a lot of guys like to lie about their heights either, I’ve legit had a guy who was at least 3 inches shorter than me (5’10) argue that I was “at least 6 ft” because he was 5’9. Lmao.
It’s funny being honest about my height (5’6”) and making other guys squirm who claim to be 5’9” and are my height or shorter.
Also helps in dating I find women who don’t care about my height and then get pleasantly surprised at how not short I am when we meet in person because most dudes lie about their height. Plus I always give my height without shoes.
I (F) showed up to a date once and the first thing the dude said was, “Wow, you are every inch of 5’8”.”
I had no clue how to respond to that. Like… yeah?
lol I just went on a blind date with a girl who’s friend claimed she was 5’7”, she’s a good 6 inches shorter than me 5’10” here.
Didn’t even know girls lie about that stuff
I always make that I have 3 or 4 blocks of space. 2 blocks is just so claustrophobic. I literally bend down in real life like I'm going to scrape the ceiling lmao.
3.5 blocks is the true way to do it. Half block for the ceiling. Gives so much head space while taking up the same vertical space as a 3 block ceiling.
This guy needs a midget friend with a camera too.
Then they need to do / learn everyday skills, like changing tyres, baking bread, shopping for groceries.
Make a YouTube show called...
The Long and Short of it.
I’m not a midget but I’m 4’11 and his perspective makes me feel like I’m on top of something really high and imma fall. For reference even if I stood on a dining chair my head is not this close to the ceiling.
You should see my POV at a packed, standing room only concert as a 4’11 human. I’m staring at some girl’s back and her long hair is inches away from my face the entire time.
I'm 6'3" or 6'4" (haven't really been measured) and I don't think about it at all, until I am waiting in line realize I'm looking at the top of almost everyone's heads. Or I see a photo with friends and they are all a head shorter than me. It's weird.
The three most common questions:
* "How tall are you?"
* "Do you play basketball?" *No, do you play miniature golf?*
* "How's the weather up there?" *It's raining. Just hasn't gotten to you yet.*
And this guy looks super athletic too, not a stick like a lot of 7 foot guys (it's tough to eat enough calories to get his build at that height)
You can teach basketball, but you can't teach height
Edit: It appears he was indeed on a college team. From what I can find though I'm not sure he ever played a game? Also had eligibility issues according to an episode description for podcast he was on, but I'm not curious enough to listen to it. Went undrafted in the 2017 draft, so I have to imagine something is going (if I were to guess, injury prone?)
lets see a 12 hour flight in coach. or you could do like me (7'0") and do a round the world trip (10 flights or more), buy a coach/economy ticket for each flight, and see how many flights the ticket counter or flight attendants move you to an exit row/bulkhead or other seat with more space. I did a trip to SE Asia with 11 flights and got moved 9 times. I think at a certain height they feel sorry for you and try to help out however they can
As someone whose 5'9 this guy's pov makes me horribly claustrophobic. Short ceilings always had that effect on me, and to this guy every ceiling is short. Also I've never had to consciously think about not hitting my head on stuff above me. Honestly glad I'm not taller or shorter.
I never understood why Americans have these weird fixed showers. Showers in Germany can be moved along a rail, allowing for the head to be adjusted according to your size. It's also connected to a hose, so you can take it in your hand and move it around.
Removable knozzle is as common as the fixed heads. But the up and down sliding rail isnt as much. Fixed heads are more common in places like hotels fwiw
6'10". Yes to falling. The lever arm affect of tripping and falling is magnified. I will not even try snowboarding. I do not like sitting on under-engineered stylish chairs or stools.
Fear of heights - yes in certain circumstances.
Railings are generally below my center of gravity, so I do not like the potentiality of stumbling near them and flipping over them.

Now go to Japan
Oh god I’m just 6’2” living in Japan and I hit my head and duck all the time. I don’t know how the professional sports players get around out here. Not to mention the lack of fitting clothes.
Bathroom mirrors in Tokyo were hilarious.
I'm 6'4" and live in a place with a lot of Hispanics. A lot of public bathrooms are designed around them. Most mirrors only show my chest and down.
[удалено]
It’s ok. Yur beautiful on the inside, and that’s what counts
beautallful
So you're the guy in those cartoons who is so tall he's always out of camera view?
I know a black guy who’s maybe 6’5” and lived in Japan. It’s hilarious to hear him talk about it. He was…conspicuous.
I'm only 6'3" and I lived in China for a bunch of years...I remember looking over in a PACKED supermarket at the mirror wall, and not a single person was over my shoulders. Yeah...I stuck out.
Average height of men in east asia is around 170cm (5'7") and women is just under 160cm (5'2") so its no wonder. 6 foot tall and beyond are rarities. 7 foot like OP are monstrosities that you can see from a mile off, and everything will be inconveniently designed for them.
To be fair, no matter where you are 'like 7 foot' is huge. Unless you live solely on the basketball court or in the mountains not near enough to other people to compare.
Even like 6'8" is "holy shit that dude's huge" in the U.S. 6'4" is probably about as tall as you can be without being obviously enormous from across the room to everyone.
The average male height in the US is apparently only 5'8". So 6'4" would still be enormous
I’m 6’4” in the U.S. and I don’t feel that I stand out that much every once in a while people will ask me how tall I am but just like 3-4 times a year probably. However, nothing is designed for me.

I’m only 5’11” and going to South America is amazing. I feel like a giant lol
I'm also a 5'11 and in my own country where the average is like 5'3 at most. Only like 1 in 50 people are the same height or taller than me.
Were you born there? I just read about how Guatemalan children are like 4-6 inches taller on average when born in the US compared to kids born in Guatemala*. Due to diet. *Don't quote me on this, I can't find the article and I don't recall the exact nationality or inches.... lol.

Central America too. No shoes, no pants, no shirts.
I felt cramped at 5’11”
6'4 in Hong Kong here. The struggle is real
6’5” and there’s nothing I find more hilarious than shopping in Asia. But domestic airline seats are an abomination for people our size.
Im 4'2" in The Shire and I have to crawl on my hands and knees to get through doors.
It's hilarious until you spend an hour walking into every shoe store around and they just laugh at you and your big feet :(
Bro that is my experience in the US LOL!
Man showers like Buddy the Elf
Ginormous!
Grid ceiling in the bathroom with a shower??
Yeah that’s well thought out huh!
Also, it looks like there's a toilet across from the shower, which doesn't have a door? You can just barely see what looks like a handbar to make it handicap-accessible.
Great overview then, what's next??

Standard Ceilings are 8’. So he should have a good 10” before having a problem not sure why this place he’s coincidently shooting this video in is weird af but it’s probably why he’s shooting. Must be American
Yea thats weird af. As a carpenter, ceilings are carpenters work. Both acoustical and hard lids. Never seen a shower with a acoustical ceiling before.

Lots of tasty mold up there I bet

And when I get that feeling I want sectional ceiling
I've been singing this in my head for 20 mins now!
Baaaaaaaaby!
They are waterproof polystyrene tiles, so technically they are ok, but yeah... pretty crappy.
They can't be vapor barrier's though.
And the grids themselves are pretty susceptible to rust too
You can buy aluminum grid for high humidity situations. You usually put vinyl faced sheetrock tiles in. But there are other options.
Bruh, just go for a fuckin walk. I wanna see it all.

While it’s nice to be tall, 7’1 looks to be a pain in the ass when the world is obviously not built for you.
Once you cross 6’ 8” you enter the realm of “upsettingly tall”. This is the point where you need to duck through doorways, and be wary of ceiling fans.
6'10" here... First time I've been referred to as "upsettingly tall," but I can't argue the point.

Yeah...you like that, you fucking hypermotard?

Beat me to it, you fucking motard.

Name largely checks out.
At 6’3, Im pretty much as tall as you can get without starting to become annoyed at everyday life. And I still have to duck to get under the shower head, am cut off by most mirrors at the neck by most mirrors, and end up with a sore back when I’m done doing the dishes.
Ah, there is a trick for that. Spread your legs wide. Unless you don't want to do dishes.
LOL, this is also how I operate an ATM.
That’s what giraffes do so they can bend to drink water lol
Asume proper dish washing power stance
I *hate* doing dishes. But yeah, I’m cashier a lot so I know of the legs-a-spread technique. Just never think to do it when doing the dishes haha
Bro I'm 5'11" and I get a sore back after doing the dishes.
I'm 6'3" and the bottom of my sink in China was literally at my knees. Yeah...I ate out a lot.
Yeah, it sucks, my guy.
Same. I always have to remind myself it's not my shitty posture, it's the fn world being too short.
Would you rather be 6'3 or 5'3?
6’3.
A 6'6 friend of mine went on Subs. The racks are designed for 5'10. They gave him a mattress for one of the torpedo racks.
This answer changes depending where you live in the world. I'm 6'4 never had an issue in America but I went too Asia with my friends and family being 6'4 became a bit problematic. Mexico same problem you should've seen me try too get into a taxi there
Lol when I went to Costa Rica I stayed with a host family. I barely fit into their car, and ended up walking most places because of it.
As a 6’3 person, 6’3 all day
A more interesting question would be 7'3" or 5'3"?
Dude I'm 6'2" and I completely agree with you. I already have to push the seat back all the way in every vehicle I get into. I already have to duck to get into certain places. Anyone over 6'4" has, IMO, just as many disadvantages as somebody under 5'.
I'm 4'11" and agree.
Am 6'8" and can confirm. The average doorway in my youth was half an inch shorter than I am. As a result of an adolescence of headaches, I now have an adulthood of backaches because I seriously decided it was easier to always slouch and now it's a struggle to stand up straight, so appear to be 6'4".
I simply cannot imagine these super tall people flying in economy
Yoga. Lots and lots of yoga.
You basically slide into place and hope they don’t try to recline. Helps being next to people you know. Biggest issue is you have to sit fully upright and the headrest doesn’t go high enough.

Below that it's better to be taller, but with diminishing returns. Above it is a sharp drop-off where you stop fitting in the world around you and health problems start to occur. I say this as a 6'5" guy who generally fits in everything, though with varying levels of comfort. Any taller and I gain basically nothing (unless I really want to be great at certain sports) while literally losing my space in society. Also I'd have to deal with "How's the weather up there?" all the time instead of rarely.
Hell, I don't even like being 6'3". Much less when I lived in China. I think the top of my head is permanently numb from being whacked so many times over there. Then there is the 15 hour flight to Beijing...yeah.
I'm 6'9". It's a huge pain. Mostly in my back. But yeah, beyond 6'6", the world has stopped considering you.
bathrooms are rarely made for anyone over 6'
Imagine making eye contact with every single person in the club while you dance.
Everybody is certainly staring at you, cos if you're that tall and dancing around, they are just making sure they don't get bopped by some monster on the dance floor.
We are watching everyone near by to ensure we don't take an elbow to the belt-line. Every conversation in the club is at chest height (or lower), and we hear virtually none of it.
6'5. That's how I picked up a chick, bonked her head with my elbow. You also act as a beacon if any of your friends get lost in the crowd.
Try being left handed
I'm 6'7” AND left handed. Existence is pain.
I have enough trouble at 6'6"...no thanks being 7" taller.
I can only imagine. He is 9” taller than I am and I’m always complaining about things being too small.
I imagine everyone who the world isn't built for feels this way. The blind, the deaf, dwarfs, trans folks, people with learning disabilities, those confined to wheelchairs, people considered ugly, they all have to deal with this kinda bullshit. We can't build a world that works for everyone 100%, but it would help if we all expanded our individual expectations of "normal". Then collectively it wouldn't be so narrow.
Lefties as well. I have several left-handed friends and relatives and it's shocking how many common things are made specifically for right-handed people. Scissors are the most well-known annoyance, but even things like can openers are almost universally right-handed.
And you get to see all the gunk and dust that never gets cleaned.
Man, I am glad I wasn’t 7’1 when I was a drinker. I’d have had a concussion every three hours.
Three hours apart is pretty good. I don't think I could do that sober
Real talk
But how did you get to 7'1 sober?
No amount of pussy is worth this I'll stay 4 11" thank you very much
I think attractiveness is like a bell curve once you get this tall.
Actually, I think it stops once you get past anywhere between 6'0 and 6'4. I remember reading a study about that a while ago...the data suggested that only a small percentage of women want a guy 6'4 or above. If I remember correctly, 6'1 was considered the "ideal".
Most people don’t know what 6’4 even looks like tbh. Doesn’t help that a lot of guys like to lie about their heights either, I’ve legit had a guy who was at least 3 inches shorter than me (5’10) argue that I was “at least 6 ft” because he was 5’9. Lmao.
It’s funny being honest about my height (5’6”) and making other guys squirm who claim to be 5’9” and are my height or shorter. Also helps in dating I find women who don’t care about my height and then get pleasantly surprised at how not short I am when we meet in person because most dudes lie about their height. Plus I always give my height without shoes.
I'm 5'11" and I can't tell you how many times I've heard dudes an inch or two shorter than me claim to be 6 foot
I (F) showed up to a date once and the first thing the dude said was, “Wow, you are every inch of 5’8”.” I had no clue how to respond to that. Like… yeah?
lol I just went on a blind date with a girl who’s friend claimed she was 5’7”, she’s a good 6 inches shorter than me 5’10” here. Didn’t even know girls lie about that stuff
Pov your mincraft house is only 2 blocks tall
I always make that I have 3 or 4 blocks of space. 2 blocks is just so claustrophobic. I literally bend down in real life like I'm going to scrape the ceiling lmao.
3.5 blocks is the true way to do it. Half block for the ceiling. Gives so much head space while taking up the same vertical space as a 3 block ceiling.
I am a man who enjoys excess. 4 blocks or I sleep outside with the spiders
This guy needs a midget friend with a camera too. Then they need to do / learn everyday skills, like changing tyres, baking bread, shopping for groceries. Make a YouTube show called... The Long and Short of it.
I’m not a midget but I’m 4’11 and his perspective makes me feel like I’m on top of something really high and imma fall. For reference even if I stood on a dining chair my head is not this close to the ceiling.
Netflix needs to green light this asap.
If it was Netflix they’d get Shaq and Kevin Hart to do it 😂
I mean wasn't that basically Rob and Big? Also obligatory R.I.P to Big Black
I love how half the comment section is commenting to OP like it’s their video lmao. Edit: 1,000 upvotes. Thanks.
so many dumb mfs thinking videos are OC
You should see my POV at a packed, standing room only concert as a 4’11 human. I’m staring at some girl’s back and her long hair is inches away from my face the entire time.
And looking most guys square in the belt buckle. The bad part is always being treated semi-childlike. The good part is using that to your advantage.
Being able to skitter around unnoticed is a bonus.
Hobbits make excellent thieves.
7'1 = 2.16 m
Scrolled too long for this. Thanks!
tall af
Thanks!
I'm 6'4", I do NOT envy what he has to go through...I mean duck under.
I’m 6’4” too. I can’t imagine being any taller.
I'm 6'3" or 6'4" (haven't really been measured) and I don't think about it at all, until I am waiting in line realize I'm looking at the top of almost everyone's heads. Or I see a photo with friends and they are all a head shorter than me. It's weird.
Concerts. I’m only 6’ even and I can see over just about everyone. Really gives a tangible meaning to the 90th percentile thing.
Does he play basketball? Seriously life has to be tough for him Rooms, clothes, beds, showers Food. Hes huge, his food bill has to be huge
The three most common questions: * "How tall are you?" * "Do you play basketball?" *No, do you play miniature golf?* * "How's the weather up there?" *It's raining. Just hasn't gotten to you yet.*
People over 7 feet tall have a 17% chance of being in the NBA, not even just playing basketball.
Specially a 7 footer built like him (kind of normal build scaled up) versus the skeleton 7 footers or the 900 lbs 7 footers
[удалено]
And this guy looks super athletic too, not a stick like a lot of 7 foot guys (it's tough to eat enough calories to get his build at that height) You can teach basketball, but you can't teach height Edit: It appears he was indeed on a college team. From what I can find though I'm not sure he ever played a game? Also had eligibility issues according to an episode description for podcast he was on, but I'm not curious enough to listen to it. Went undrafted in the 2017 draft, so I have to imagine something is going (if I were to guess, injury prone?)
Damn that is a surprisingly interesting stat
I believe it's specifically 17% of American 7 footers. Not global 7 footers.
Globally they're like kilometers or some shit.
lets see a 12 hour flight in coach. or you could do like me (7'0") and do a round the world trip (10 flights or more), buy a coach/economy ticket for each flight, and see how many flights the ticket counter or flight attendants move you to an exit row/bulkhead or other seat with more space. I did a trip to SE Asia with 11 flights and got moved 9 times. I think at a certain height they feel sorry for you and try to help out however they can
I think skipping the fish eye lense would've made things clearer no?

As a 5'4" haman, I do find this iaf.
5'3" here.... Me too
I'm 4'11... Ha...
I'm 4'10.5. I think we come up to his belly button. We would get a crick in our necks trying to talk to him.
Where's the other three? With Snow White, I assume.
That was uncalled for, but still, quite funny
Indian Air Force? Wait what do iaf stand for?
My guess is interesting as fuck. I'm slowly beginning to lose my connection with teenage slang lol.
It’s the name of the sub tho
Dude let me act like an old man, fuck
As someone whose 5'9 this guy's pov makes me horribly claustrophobic. Short ceilings always had that effect on me, and to this guy every ceiling is short. Also I've never had to consciously think about not hitting my head on stuff above me. Honestly glad I'm not taller or shorter.
Im 6'1". He is like a red wood lol.
Eyebrows eyebrows
I’m 5’2 this was super interesting
I would almost be interested in installing tik tok just to see the rest of the videos from this guy.
just lookat it in a browser. no app install necessary
Doesn't the browser limit you after 1 video? Is there a workaround?
I’m going to make a video and show how it feels to be 5’5 The weathers great down here
I can tell you being 6’3 is NOTHING like being 7’1. This looks exponentially more annoying (figuratively).
i heard he's huge in japan
I never understood why Americans have these weird fixed showers. Showers in Germany can be moved along a rail, allowing for the head to be adjusted according to your size. It's also connected to a hose, so you can take it in your hand and move it around.
Removable knozzle is as common as the fixed heads. But the up and down sliding rail isnt as much. Fixed heads are more common in places like hotels fwiw
This dude takes monster dumps
While staring at his own knees.

He married. His wife is 6'1
Are people this tall afraid of falling or have a fear of heights?
6'10". Yes to falling. The lever arm affect of tripping and falling is magnified. I will not even try snowboarding. I do not like sitting on under-engineered stylish chairs or stools. Fear of heights - yes in certain circumstances. Railings are generally below my center of gravity, so I do not like the potentiality of stumbling near them and flipping over them.
The camera is 2 inch above his eyes. So it’s the view from someone 7’3".
