And now to scale:

Damn his junk is at eye level while standing.

toynbee@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 1y

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.

  • 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.

Feathercrown@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 1y (12 replies)

No markdown tables? :(

Let me test

Col1 Col2
val1 val2

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

NAME HEIGHT (ft) HEIGHT (cm)
Kevin Hart 5’2” 158 cm
The Rock 6’4” 193 cm
Shaq 7’1” 216 cm
Yao Ming 7’6” 229 cm

How’d I do? L

Looks good!

It's displays correctly for me in Boost.

Connect and any half decent app as well

Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

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

SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

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

Looks fine on Jerboa

toynbee@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Shows okay for me using the Connect client in dark mode. White foreground, black background.

How'd you do that? I'm on Voyager, but it doesn't seem to be in my list of markup shortcuts

Feathercrown@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

There's no shortcut for me either, but I can do it manually. See here: https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/markdown/tables

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

https://youtu.be/gYic1W-1ybE?t=453

MonkeyTown@midwest.social · 4 pts · 1y

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 pts · 1y (4 replies)

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 pts · 1y (3 replies)

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

BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 1y (2 replies)

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

Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y (1 reply)

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.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y

And you can easily just put your hand in front of a spinning fan and try for yourself. Don't do it with metal fans though, only those wood ones.

glimse@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y

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 pts · 1y (2 replies)

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 pts · 1y

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

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

PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat · 19 pts · 1y (12 replies)

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

CaptDust@sh.itjust.works · 35 pts · 1y (5 replies)

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

BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca · 17 pts · 1y

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

Anticorp@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y (2 replies)

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

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y (1 reply)

We're all very proud of you Kevin

technohacker@programming.dev · 8 pts · 1y

Yey :D

__Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 1y

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 pts · 1y

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

For Kevin Hart, it's just his reality.

SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Kevin Hart and Dwayne the Johnson always play this bit in front of the camera and pretend that they don’t like each other.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Dwayne the Johnson

I'd really rather not think about Dwayne's johnson.

otp@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Nah, it's a different Dwayne. You're talking about Dwayne the person, but the other commenter is talking about the johnson named Dwayne

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y

Ah, my mistake. Dwayne the johnson is fine, I just don't like Dwayne's johnson.

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

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

That's just Ming's left elbow.

random_character_a@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y (5 replies)

So Hart could blow Ming without braking a perfect posture.

FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee · 14 pts · 1y (1 reply)

By my very scientific calculations... Almost.

I refute your science and insert my fantasy.

Shaq is leaning.

UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Only if Yao's dick is 2' long.

BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 1y

This seems like a legit question for science though.... Like I assume there is some proportionality?

tacosanonymous@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 1y

It might be. :shrug:

lemmyknow@lemmy.today · 8 pts · 1y

None as tall as Grant

Mothra@mander.xyz · 6 pts · 1y (6 replies)

I only recognize Dwayne, who are the others?

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y (5 replies)

Kevin Hart, Shaq, and Yao Ming

ryedaft@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 1y (4 replies)

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

gibmiser@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Peter Dink

Anticorp@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Who is taller than the Willow actor, who is himself taller than the Mini-me actor. I think the scale stops there though.
