Wow its almost like mean height is affected by poverty and nutrition or something
Yeah I bet if you overlaid life expectancy it would map almost perfectly
I wonder if there are other non-obvious-once-you-think-about-it-and-stop-being-racist tells
Now do weight …
Amerikans winning, we greatest!
Greasiest
I think the British passed is a few years back.
We’re starving more people now, plus glp-1s.
Crazy! Did the small chinese hight come from malnourishment or hard labor? Otherwise that increase would be hard to describe right?
Better quality of nutrition - more protein and vegetables. Much more vegetables. An absurd amount more vegetables.
They also fixed their zinc deficiency, which has long been known to affect height.
But seriously, the vegetables.
Graphs pictured:
- Daily supply of calories that are available for consumption, Measured in kilocalories per person per day. 1985 to 2023
- Estimated share of the total population in each country with zinc intakes below physiological requirements, 1990–2005
- Average daily per capita protein supply, measured in grams of total protein per day, 1985 to 2023
- Average per capita vegetable consumption, measured in kilograms per person per year, 1985 to 2023
Wow. I need to upy vegetable game.
Unfortunately your government will not allow it on a large scale or allow you to do it too extensively on your own property.
the US doesn’t use cm

they are 3 feet, 2 elbows and a thumb high.
I prefer the standard units of

2% of a football field tall
The Dutch are incredible. Once upon a time they were the shortest people in Europe. Now they are the tallest in the entire world.
They do a lot of stretching.
tfw I’m under the mean height for the netherlands
It’s real shortcel hours
It shows americans growing after a decline, this study from 2025 shows they’re still getting smaller
damn. Smaller Americans means less real estate to accumulate products from the food industry. Smaller stomachs are faster to fulfil
German man is taller than me. That’s sad ;(
I see you have fallen into the “taller male dominant” trap. the great equalizer is the testicle strike - and you have the advantage :-)
What if it’s a really tall man with short legs and an extra long torso though?
This is really fascinating!
welwp, at 186cm i’m about average in The Netherlands.
What a weird set of countries.
Nope pretty normal actually. Netherlands is famously tall, Germamy and UK are good parallels to the USA in terms of HDI i think. And if you’re already deciding to shos the usa or netherlanda, it makes sense to show their nearest language cousins - the UK and Germany.
India and China are leading economies in their respective continent, and have “developing economy” regions. So this allows us to basically go “North America, Europe, Asia,” and compare and contrast developed against underdeveloped.
Also i’ve seen this selection of countries for a bunch of different stuff too.
Where’s the rest of Europe, where’s Africa, and where’s the Middle East ???
likely china and india are chosen as they are in the progress of uplifting poor populations, and the effect can be reflected here (with china already done much more progress).
Not every graph has to compare every country in the world all at once. However if you use the sites provided/named in the graphics, you can whip up your own comparison of any of those countries quite quickly.
The chart would be useless with too many, as you would not be able to identify it even see the lines.
Is this the result of dating apps letting women filter men by their height?
It’s obviously the result of the Dutch living below the sea level and the short drowning, it’s quite sad actually.
You should add a /s unless you are serious.
I guess. Or everyone else should take a chill pill.
in this day and age, too many people think that way unironically, so if you want to act like a dumbass you must accept to be treated like a dumbass.
lol, relax man
