"Dutch men born in 1930 had reached an average height of 5ft 9in (175.6cm). Those born in 1980 topped 6ft (183.9cm) – a growth of 8.3cm in 50 years"
"Dutch men born in 2001 were on average 1cm shorter than those born in 1980"
The average height of grown men hasn't increased in the last 2 decades, yet people here seem to believe that zoomers are 2 inches taller than millennials
Imagine if posters here were 20 years old in the Netherlands in 1950 when the average height of 20 year olds was 5'9, then in 1960 you were a 5'9 30 year old while the average 20 year old was almost 5'10, then in 1970 you were 5'9 40 year old when the average 20 year old was closer to 5'11
"Why the fuck are teenagers so tall in 1970? The average 18 year old heightmogs the average middle aged man by 7 fucking inches now. I was average height 10 years ago now I'm 4 inches below average"
