But once everyone buys an Oculus Quest and meets up in Facebook horizon, we can see each other's heights 😱 1 Linh Mar 14, 2021, 6:13 PM That can’t be right Utsav Jaiswal 😂 2 Linh Mar 14, 2021, 6:13 PM Limarc you and David same height!

I had no idea the Dutch were giants Natasha Mar 15, 2021, 2:43 PM richard-kubina can confirm! most prominent theory last I checked is dairy consumption; personally, my favourite theory however is that it's because a lot of the Netherlands is below sea level, so, from an evolutionary perspective, they're preparing for when the water comes. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: 😆 3 Natasha Mar 15, 2021, 2:47 PM haha Linh you HAVE to come grocery shopping here with me and understand what it feels like to be a literal hobbit 😂 3 Arthur Mar 15, 2021, 3:09 PM :awwyeah: 2 😂 3 Arthur Mar 15, 2021, 3:10 PM this is 100% slogging post 😂 1 Amy Mar 15, 2021, 4:09 PM Natasha for some reason I pictured you closer to 5"5' richard-kubina Mar 15, 2021, 4:15 PM Amy 171cm is ~5'7.32288" !!!! 🤓 googles says 171cm is 5.61024 feet and so .61024 * 12 inches will get Arthur to a lil over 5'7" and considering he is proud of the extra 1 cm we ought to give report the .32288 extra inch! 😂 2 richard-kubina Mar 15, 2021, 4:16 PM Natasha gains the extra 3 inches in demon form (that is, in zoom meetings) 👿 3 :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: 1 Amy Mar 15, 2021, 4:16 PM richard-kubina this is why I am a copywriter/editor 😂 math and conversions = no thank you 😁 2 Linh Mar 15, 2021, 4:20 PM so Utsav Jaiswal how tall are you actually though?  haha richard-kubina yes i think the rule is in inches you can TOTALLY round up since it’s such an inaccurate system anyway Arthur Mar 15, 2021, 4:21 PM 😁 1 Utsav Jaiswal Mar 15, 2021, 4:26 PM Physical height - 5'8" Ego height - 11'11" 😂 2 Amy Mar 15, 2021, 4:28 PM Utsav Jaiswal I’m also mentally operating at around 11'11" 🍺 1 Linh Mar 15, 2021, 4:28 PM theres a saying in vietnamese (Kien & Hang would know this) không cao nhưng ai cũng phải ngước nhìn that basically describes that phenomenon =)) 🆙 3 Hang Mar 15, 2021, 4:30 PM I'm like almost 5.1 LOL so I can't really attend this thread with confidence lmao Linh Mar 15, 2021, 4:31 PM hey - you’re still taller than me =)) 😂 1 Utsav Jaiswal Mar 15, 2021, 4:31 PM that's why we don't get along so well Amy - we constantly try'na dunk over each other (Shaq vs Yao Ming) 🏀 2 🗑 1 Arthur Mar 15, 2021, 4:36 PM Amy Mar 15, 2021, 4:36 PM Utsav Jaiswal Okay you can be 11'11" and I’ll be 11'10" because I’m not very good at basketball Hang Mar 15, 2021, 4:37 PM Natasha do invite me over for that grocery shopping. i feel like a literal baby everytime i'm in walmart 😂 2 Linh Mar 15, 2021, 4:40 PM Maybe i’ve been here way too long i stopped noticing things like that. although i remember my first time in the US how embarrassing it was to not see myself in the bathroom mirrors. Although, my unpopular opinion is that it’s not bad to be short. I never have any problems sitting in economy seats on planes or fitting myself in any space to sleep =)) Kien Mar 15, 2021, 4:47 PM Amy dang we got a conversation starter over here 😂 anyways im just your average 5'7 asian guy :standing_person::standing_person::standing_person: 💚 3 Hang Mar 15, 2021, 4:48 PM Linh I'm too insecure about it that I can't help noticing lol. however, have to agree on the economy seats or such. 😂 Linh Mar 15, 2021, 4:49 PM Short people unite!
