    Man gave his height in meters and his weight in kg unprompted, we just don’t do that in America.

    I’m the American (and yeah, the portion looks small, but I’m 2.43m and 120kg)

      If you aren’t trolling, you are ludicrously tall.

      You would be significantly taller than most doors.

        No no, I wasn’t trolling, just stupid and on lunch and somehow remembered a teacher laying two foot-long rules down and saying it was a meter

        Ignore me, about 2 meters total. 6 feet and 5 inches

            I got my education in a rural town of a backwoods region. They had a drive your tractor to school day. A lot of kids took the first day of bow or gun deer hunting off. I also don’t think he had a yardstick, this wasn’t a math class and so he had no business talking about units of measurement.

              To get one of those cut off measurements, google yardstick rule 43
