ok I’m high for this one
so like you know a tall person isnt wider when they get taller? like when we were growing up our hipbones are bigger than like a 5 year old?
then when our spines are stopped growing why didn’t the hipbones not growing?
oh I am reading this and I’m definitely higher than I thought i would get from the edible lmao
I am bigger around than a short lady, but proportionally more taller than wider, elongated. I am not sure why it works that way.
What I wonder about more is fat people. My shape is defined by my skeleton, I’m not that skinny but like, my ribcage and hipbones, shoulders are my frame, the outer edges of my body shape. If someone is so fat, how does their body extend far past the bones, what holds it up? Or do they have a wider skeleton?
They… Do.
You can definitely get wider if you put your mind to it.
I am both
I look more like a scaled up person than a conventional tall guy
From a biology perspective, it may not be totally advantageous to grow in all three dimensions at once. Certainly, as life forms become larger, they also require more energy to sustain, and also become harder to cool (at least for the warm blooded ones). Generally speaking, keeping cool is a matter of surface area (aka skin). But growing double in each of the three dimensions would be 4x more skin than before, but would be 8x more mass/muscle. That’s now harder to keep cool.
So growing needs to be done with intention: growing taller nets some survival benefits, such as having longer legs to run. Whereas growing wider or deeper doesn’t do very much.
But idk mang, I’m in a food coma from holiday dinner, just shooting from the hip lol
The square cube law or whatever
You can simplify me as a perfect sphere with no friction.
As long as it’s consensual I guess objectification is ok.
I prefer round cubes…
shooting from the hip
they’s gone wide 🚨🚨
Tall means higher caloric needs, which means its easier for a tall guy to also be skinny
Damn, that missed me. Now I gotta contend with the fact that my Jack Black gut lands me in the near 400 range.
It just means you ate more to get that gut than the average person, and having a gut isnt necessarily a bad thing. You good.
There is interesting physics in this, because you can look at height and say “double it” but our bones are three dimensional. So, what exactly are we doubling? Our height and girth? But then what about our weight? Our intuition doesn’t quite tell us these things.
nutrition. compare shaq with manute bol. Shaq is well proportioned, Bol is thin
I dunno, I’m 6’4 and broad shouldered. I’ve let myself go a bit and am getting chunky but people still act like I’m an NFL linebacker or something. It’s weird and uncomfortable when people are openly talking about your physical traits, even if they feel like it’s a positive thing.
Same exact issue. Went to visit my mom down south and she was trying to brag about me to someone at a bar and added weight and height to my actual numbers. Like I’m not sitting right fucking next to her feeling mad uncomfortable!
Yeah my mom was from the south, and we’d go to family reunions where she and her brother would stay up late and loudly talk about me while I tried to sleep.
All humans should evolve into spheres.
America is working on it with support from mcdonalds.
We aren’t even in the top 10 fattest countries. Hell, for a few years at the beginning of the 2000s, GB was fatter than we were.
They are sometimes? It’s just gene and expressions. You can be short and wide just like you can be tall and wide, it be either and be slender
I’m fairly tall, 6’2" I quite often meet people much taller than me, that I don’t realise are really that tall, because they are more in proportion. So maybe it’s a perception problem, that you only notice tall skinny folks and overlook the tall average proportion folk.
This is definitely it. I am tall (1.94 m) and in proportion, and my equally tall friend who is skinny gets all the tall-person jokes when we go somewhere together.
Ok, so…tall person here - as I grew into my 6’4" frame I got progressively wider as well. In my later days (kinda old now) my width has increased unproprtionally to my stagnated growth in height. Damn! You just fat shamed me without meaning to! Uncool, dude!!
Same
Sometimes they are
Hmm, I’m pretty tall and high, and I think my hipbones grew like… normal? I don’t know.
Edit: enjoy the ride, space cadet! 💨
