According to the Google, I am precisely average! 5'4"

As an American, I will leave you to translate that into the sensible measuring system everyone else uses but we were never taught.

see that's about average - 162/163

I thought they taught you both systems but you only used one system

There is an awful surgery where they can add a few inches to your height, but they do it by breaking your legs.

I am 5/7 if that applies

parents weren't that tall tbh imo

except mum, she was short as heck

That would be sensible, but no.

Though maybe they teach both systems these days. I've been out of school for a while lol

well you can always teach yourself
if you can learn croqueting and knitting and mahjong then you can learn the metric system!!!

(interesting how croqueting is one "T" and knitting becomes two "T"s - bloody english)

 

[centen]

Yeah, it seems insanely not worth it.* Apparently it can add a max of about 3 inches, and it works by them breaking your legs intentionally, and then you re-breaking every single day for several months to encourage bone growth. Then you let them heal for real and relearn to walk.

*Asterisk being that the surgery was initially developed to solve legit medical issues and not just cosmetic. So it's probably worth it for those.

But you have an option!! And all for the low, low price of roughly $50K and 6 months of your life being unable to walk.

I don't know croquet. I do know crocheting. But you're still right on the two Ts!

I will think about it. I did teach myself two new board games today and I learned mahjong recently. I think the one downside is I'll forget it again since it's never used here.

that's cool - which system of mahjong did you learn (since there's like many variations of mahjong)
