    I am guessing this is one of these things where people think it’s awesome and has many advantages, but like everything else in life, it’s best to be near the middle of the bell curve, personally I am 197cm tall and that’s very much on the extreme end, I think that’s that taller than 99.6% of humans, I have to look out for not hitting my head, I don’t fit comfortably in the majority of cars, flying on a plane is a PITA as I have to look for specific seats, hell even something as simple as sitting comfortably on public transit is an issue. Buying clothes is a chore as I have to look for things that are designed with longer sleeves and pants sized for tall people. Just a minority of shoe selection is available as they mostly have EUR size 45 as the biggest and I wear 46/47.

    And I will probably die sooner than if I was like 10 cm shorter as my heart has to work harder.
