Damn his junk is at eye level while standing.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

I have a very short friend who is into very tall (by my standards, anyway) men.

This thought occurs to me every time she introduces me to or shows me a picture of her newest love interest.

[–] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

This is exactly what I wanted to see thank you

  • Kevin Hart -> 5’2” / 158 cm
  • The Rock -> 6’4” / 193 cm
  • Shaq -> 7’1” / 216 cm
  • Yao Ming -> 7’6” / 229 cm

Shame that Voyager doesn’t appear to have a way to input a clean table in a comment.

No markdown tables? :(

Let me test

Edit: It works but the text and background are both black??

It's displays correctly for me in Boost.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Connect and any half decent app as well

[–] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where do I find a version of half decent, and how do they compare?

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Compared to the others, I'd say it's half decent

Text is white for me (voyager beta 443 and 445)

Always reminded of this hilarious clip whenever the heights of Kevin Hart and The Rock are mentioned:

[–] MonkeyTown@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hmm..

Well now I know exactly how I compare to all of these men in a very literal sort of way, since I’m apparently the exact same height as Kevin Hart. Tho I am a bit surprised that the first person I dated is the same height as the rock. He looks a lot bigger.

So that’s fun! Thanks for providing that info :)

I knew Ming was a big guy, but not that big wow. Dude towers over Shaq.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I saw him in person once when I worked in a mall. Poor guy has to duck to avoid ceiling fixtures.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wonder how many times he's walked into a spinning ceiling fan.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This strikes me as a mistake you can really only make once.

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They don't hurt as much as you would expect. They are generally as light as possible and spinning with very little torque for energy efficiency. So even at max speed, it hurts less than bonking your head on something solid at walking speed, which is much more common. I am only 6' 4", you don't have to be as tall as you would think to "get to" experience this.

I also didn't realize the height difference. I knew Ming was taller but I didn't think it was by THAT much.

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

well, no, at some point, there is no bigger fish, you've found the biggest fish, you are the biggest fish, congratulations, all the other fish are ashamed

[–] Kyrrrr@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 month ago

Eventually the fish would be so large it would collapse into a singularity, arguably being fish no longer

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Falling down an MC Escher stairway and passing a portrait of Kevin Hart towering over Yao Ming.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 19 points 1 month ago (7 children)

I love how everyone involved looks positively delighted to stand with a taller person, except for Kevin Hart.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Here's an older pic with Shaq and Hart, he seems delighted

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago

I mean it's probably Shaq, but there's no way to know for sure...

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's like a father and his 8 year old son.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We're all very proud of you Kevin

[–] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

I hope Shaq has a matching picture of his smiling face and an arm around someone but we can only see the top of his head

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago

For the others, it doesn't happen that often, so it's interesting when it does.

For Kevin Hart, it's just his reality.

Ok but why did they leave Godzilla off the last panel?

So Hart could blow Ming without braking a perfect posture.

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

By my very scientific calculations... Almost.

None as tall as Grant

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I only recognize Dwayne, who are the others?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Kevin Hart, Shaq, and Yao Ming

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There has to be at least one person shorter than Kevin Hart

Shaq flicking Vs like a filthy Gallagher.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That's not a fish

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Starting at Kevin Hart feels like cheating.
