Looks like there’s some lying going on, lol
As weird as it seems, it may partly be external pressure.
My precise height is 5’11 and a half.
Each times it comes up in conversation, I tend to say I am 5’11, but people close to me insist I am 6’.
I feel like nobody would insist if I was 5’10 and a half that I am 5’11, it’s just the magic 6’ number that make people weird.
I only ever get measured without shoes on at the doctor these days. I’ve been 6’6’’ since I was 16 or so. My shoes would add probably another inch.
I wonder if that’s what happened to me …… I’ve been 6’2” or 6’2.5” for my entire adult life, but there was at least one time the doctors office measured me at 6’3”, maybe I had shoes on. I have to admit to using that some of the time even though it’s an outlying data point
Part of it is that my ex was exactly a foot shorter. At some point she started calling herself 5’3” so I had to continue being a foot taller than that
As someone closer to 6’1" usually, I just go with 6’ because it’s easier. It’s funny that both ends of 6’ seem to just report 6’. The shorter side seems more likely to do this, obviously, but I think there’s a lot of people like me who just choose the slightly easier option too. I’d be curious if you got the same anomaly if multiple foot markers were within the majority of the normal distribution.
Just use centimeters, Jesus.
Just using this data to show how stupidly wealth is currently distributed in the country assuming 5’11" or 1.8 meters average if we converted this into 2022 wealth values with average income of 61,136, top 1% as 785,968 (12.9x), and 0.1% 2.8 million (458x) the top 1% height would be 23.22 meters and 0.1% would be 824.4 meters tall.
I’m pretty high and I can’t make an ounce of sense of what you’re on about
Naturally occurring normal numeric distributions will tend towards a bell shape, or curve, as you acquire observations. Artificial distributions like income will follow a different curve that is sometimes difficult to visualize especially when the differences are measured in millions or billions. It’s easier to visualize the differences in artificial distributions if you use a natural distribution as a familiar basis.
Tl;Dr Do you think Paul Bunyan and Paul Blart are related?
