I’m surprised that the US is so low.
Was the scale of this graphic decided on by an incel?
A Dutch one.
Why are half the comments talking about the scale??? That’s the joke, are they stupid???
Are they counting Homo Floresiensis for Indonesia?
I’m 188cm (6’2") and grew up in a fairly insular community of Dutch people and their descendants. I thought I was average height until I left that bubble went to university.
This scale is totally wack. The feet of the human bodies in the graph don’t start at 0 but somewhere between 4 and 5. Such a bad graph. That being said, we Dutch people are very tall and powerful and you should be terrified >:3
They have ridiculous accents, though. They got nerfed in the tulipmanie patch
I am 7 inches taller than the average Dutch person. Which, by this graph, means I am 50 times taller than you.
Pee-wee.
Apparently i’m almost 3 inches taller than average. So somewhat better but still scary
This is an excellent shitpost and made me laugh very hard.
Around 5’11" in Germany
I like how Indonesian men are the same height as a Dutch man’s knees.
Ah, yes, Netherlanders are indeed 4x taller than Indonesians, but at least the Indonesians get better saving throws from their size.
Kenyans aren’t on there, but I have to assume they’re pretty big given the 60’ move speed.
They’re actually in the middle but their legs are twice as long.
Dont forget theyre naturally Lucky aswell!
loll I remembering third grade being shown a graph exactly like this as the bad example, except they were using bags of money. increasing the volume of the bars instead of just the height
Worst fucking graphic ever lmao
It has to be a joke haha.
I’m 6’4" (193 cm) and I felt totally average walking around Amsterdam. As opposed to being a mutant freak in Tokyo.
Only time I ever felt small was when I stepped off the train in The Netherlands. (2m)
In the US, it also depends on the area. At 6’4" you might be normal in Salt Lake City but a freak in Tampa. My wife is 6’2". In most places she is by far the tallest woman (and often person) in the room.
When we lived in Park City (Utah) she didn’t seem as tall and often would not be the tallest woman there. It was fun to see.
6’2" is still 9 inches taller than the average woman in Utah. Is Park City some kind of extreme international anomaly?
I didn’t mean to imply that evey woman was 6’2"+ . Let me be more specific. In twenty years living in Louisiana, Texas, and Florida my wife never met a woman anywhere near her height with the exception of a set of basketball playing twins that lived in our condo building in Austin. We hit Park City and she sees women that are 6’0"+ pretty much daily. Not every woman, but also not unusual to see at least one. I do not know the reason for this.
EDIT: grammar
well to be fair the amount of people in Park City Utah that have Dutch ancestry is 1.219%
so on this chart its like half.
TIL that Mormons are just normal Americans that grew too tall and were driven insane by the altitude.
“So why aren’t Dutch people all Mormon?”, you might ask. Simple: cannabis and women with full legal control to do or not do what they want with their bodies are excellent inoculations against Mormonism.
Can I join LDS so I can also be inoculated?
I’m afraid you’ve gotten the order wrong. If you ask nicely by way of completing the necessary paperwork, you can visit the Netherlands for the inoculation, though!
This is already noticeable between Finland and England. According to the stats I’ve seen, the averages between the two are two inches apart. So, I’m average or just a tad shorter than the average man in the UK. In Finland I’m 5cm shorter than the average, and I kinda feel oddly tall every time I walk around in London because of that.
I’m about a centimeter above the average for an adult male in Denmark and feel like a giant every time I visit the US 😄
If it makes you feel any better, you’re a mutant freak no matter where you go, but some societies will be better at making you feel accepted.
As opposed to being a mutant freak in Tokyo.
How I imagined the crowds around you in Tokyo:
U smol
