Damn his junk is at eye level while standing.

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 2 weeks 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? :(

It's displays correctly for me in Boost.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Connect and any half decent app as well

[–] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] Statick@programming.dev 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks 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.

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 points 2 weeks ago

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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 19 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We're all very proud of you Kevin

[–] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

By my very scientific calculations... Almost.

None as tall as Grant

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I only recognize Dwayne, who are the others?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Kevin Hart, Shaq, and Yao Ming

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

That's not a fish

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Starting at Kevin Hart feels like cheating.
