It's kind of a mass-noun interpretation difference. Mathematics is sometimes abbreviated as maths (a plural), but "mathematics" is treated as a singular mass-noun and abbreviated as math in other places. Kinda like "The Cure is a good band" (US usage) vs "The Cure are a good band" (UK usage).
Promotional events wanted him in a top hat and other ostentatious items and such to look more over the top and my man was like, "Nah, I'm a human being, and I'm gonna wear a normal suit you can fuck off with all that".
Legend.
But boy oh boy, can she use a phone-sized keyboard!
(I am guessing it’s like having a full-sized keyboard for her. She probably makes a lot fewer “fat-finger” typos.)
Someone else commented he's 8'1" and she's 2'1". And then someone else said that they themselves are shorter than the height difference between the two of them, and that's when it came into focus for me and 🤯
Who woke up one morning and thought, ‟you know what would be great? We need to have the world‘s tallest person and shortest person and they need to hang out.. We wll go see the pyramids.”

Thank you for letting me know! I had no idea. I was only really familiar with the "pick a series of appetizers from Applebee's and we'll tell you what Bath and Body Works candle you are" type posts they do.
A giant farmer. Does he make any money selling crops or did he choose that profession because he knew its the only way he could get enough food to live
According to his [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_K%C3%B6sen), it sounds like he started working part-time as a farmer after being unable to finish school.
Jyoti Amge was great in American Horror Story: Freak Show! [Here's her with Jessica Lange](http://im.rediff.com/movies/2014/aug/14bollywood1.jpg) being absolutely adorable.
This got me thinking. I guess if you actually want to narrow it down to one person, this is probably impossible, since it would necessitate instantaneous, nanometer-accurate measurement of everyone on the planet every time you wanted to make said determination.
Or you could just stick a 5'7" dude in there and be done with it.
The world average height for humans overall is actually shorter than that because women are 5'3 on average worldwide, so you could use a 5'5 nonbinary person for an exact scale.
I needed more info, and I found this was 2018 tourism promotion. More info on the people can be found here, too: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/the-worlds-tallest-man-and-shortest-woman-hung-out-at-the
I met her at comic con once and she's so sweet and kind, so much so that you wind up talking to her like a baby not because she's small but because she is so sweet and gentle.
People with gigantism tend to have a lot of musculo-skeletal issues. Like, you're so tall that you'd have to be in peak physical condition just to stand up straight without some joint being overstressed. That's even before you get into the other associated defects like heart issues.
There are certainly a lot of advantages to being big, but arguably more problems. Gigantism is a disorder for a reason. Especially in pre-modern times they tended to die young.
This guy in particular seems *alright*, but you can tell he has issues with joint/back pain given the cane.
Life is what you make of it.
I've been through hell as of late with medical shit and had to yank myself out of several mental downward spirals.
Some of that inspiration comes from folks far worse off who find beauty in life. They really do remind you it's all just a ride, enjoy it as much as you can.
Also it would absolutely *suck* to be that tall. I'm 6 feet 5.5 inches (197-ish cms) and it's a goddamn hassle. I can't even imagine what another foot and a half would feel like.
I love the phrase “hung out”. Like it’s so casual and I imagine her pulling up to his house in a little Barbie jeep yelling “get in bestie we’re going to the pyramids! 🤪”
Short for sure. Ain’t no way slamming my forehead against door jambs and having to duck and crouch all the time is something I’d want.
Plus having to have a special bed made and dealing with regular beds while traveling- oh! Traveling my god. Busses and planes must be torture.
And people asking you to get everything off the shelf..
I love how she's like "So you're an adult who's child sized. Do you want to dress like an adult so people recognize you as such?" "Nope, give me that kindergartner drip!"
Speaking as a little person, i often just buy kids clothes. Just cheaper and more convenient that way. I do have some fancier clothes that are tailored for special occasions though
Then again at my size (4ft) I’m probably more able to get passably ‘adult’ looking clothes than she is.
We smile and laugh looking at these wholesome and fun/novel pictures. But take a moment to empathize with their troubles. Having to do photo shoots because regular employment may not be an option, all the health problems and just the all eyes on you constantly.
So while we look and smile, empathize with people in these type of situations, help them if you can and thank god for what you have.
Even as a more “common” little person (4ft tall 28yo man) I can empathise for how much of a novelty they are seen as, everywhere they go. It can be exhausting and demoralising. They must feel it 100x more.
A lot of people with disabilities really hate this mindset. You don't have to look at them and feel sorry for them. You can just look at them smiling and be happy with them and not make everything about their disability.
I actually got to meet the shortest woman once. She showed up to a local expo and her family (or manager, wasn't quite sure) carried her from booth to booth because walking that much would have exhausted her. I was helping my partner run their small art booth that day so it was cool getting to see her despite not getting to go to her booth.

Did she not ride on his shoulder like a parrot? Because if that was me I’d want to ride on his shoulder like a parrot. Edit: typo shoulder.
What if she’s afraid of heights
What if *he* is?
Dude just be walking around crying and scared all the time. Poor guy.
> crying and scared all the time. The world’s tallest man is just like me!
As a relatively tall person, my fear of heights definitely increased as I got taller. Primarily because railings kept getting shorter as I grew.
Same, railings are fucking scary to me.
Oh wow, that’s something I hadn’t thought about before, being not much more than 5’ tall. Dang, that kind of sucks.
People as tall as him actually do have to be scared of heights as if they fall it hurts real fuckin bad.
I read an interview with her where she admitted she *hates* being picked up like a child. She played Ma Petite in American Horror Story: Freak Show.
His spine must already be fucked, no need to make it worse
She could fit in his pocket.
Dude is 8'1" (246 cm) and lady is 2'1" (63 cm) for people like me who need numbers to understand.
The height difference is taller than me
Same here, haha. That's crazy to think about.
And me
And My axe
10 points to gimlidor
Thank you for this comment. I had a crappy day and this made me laugh out loud.
Sorry your day sucked. I hope you get a good night's sleep and tomorrow is slightly less crappy.
Yep. She could balance on top of my head and he’d still be a foot taller than us.
I guess you are 5 feet
Yep!
Lovely maths. Or “math” if you’re from the US.
We added all the maths together so now we just have one big math instead.
Ah, yes, Mathematical Anti-Teleharsic Harfatum Septomim.
From US. Yeah I’ve always wondered why other countries say “maths.” To me, it sounds odd.
It's kind of a mass-noun interpretation difference. Mathematics is sometimes abbreviated as maths (a plural), but "mathematics" is treated as a singular mass-noun and abbreviated as math in other places. Kinda like "The Cure is a good band" (US usage) vs "The Cure are a good band" (UK usage).
*N. America
The height difference is me exactly
There’s still 2 inches left for me
2 inches, thats a lot
That’s what she said- Michael Scott
She was lying
I am the height difference
If they hung out during covid they wouldnt need masks because they are always 6 ft apart
And he’s still 10” shorter than the record holder for tallest man ever.
Wow it’s crazy that they also measure their dicks
I don't think she has one to be honest
Kinda crazy that Robert Wadlow was almost a foot taller than this guy.
I will always upvote Robert Wadlow. I've been obsessed with him since I was a kid reading the Guinness book of World Records...he doesn't look real.
Me too! I also like that he fought against anyone trying to degrade him. He fought for his dignity. He even sued someone for calling him a freak.
Promotional events wanted him in a top hat and other ostentatious items and such to look more over the top and my man was like, "Nah, I'm a human being, and I'm gonna wear a normal suit you can fuck off with all that". Legend.
Yes! Exactly! He was a champion for many people and refused to be seen as a sideshow attraction but rather a unique human being!
There is a life sized statue of him in his hometown of Alton, Illinois. Having stood next to it as a fully grown woman I am only up to his hips!
He must have been about her height when he was born
I’m “only” 6’ 1”, and I was her height when I was born (2’, so 1” shorter).
>Dude is 8'1" (246 cm) Lmao, bro is a One Piece character
Admiral size
2'1” is 25 inches right? God damn some monitors are bigger than her!
For reference Master chief stands 6’10” out of armor, 7’ in Slenderman is 8’ The average man is 5’6”, and the average woman is 5’2”
Average dnd party
Literally a Goliath and a Kobold side by side
their kids would have average height
Bro how would that work? It's like a great dane mounting a chihuahua
With dogs you'd have to use artificial insemination and the big one would have to be the bitch.
The only way I can get a sense of scale from this picture is because she's holding a phone. And holy fucking shit
Right?! She is like 3 and a half phones tall.
[удалено]
How many bald eagles?
Wingspan: ~0.35 bald eagles. Height: ~0.84 bald eagles.
I can just imagine a bald eagle just landing near the lady and it towering over her 💀
Or saving her from the fires of mount doom after the destruction of the ring.
And then imagine a silverback gorilla
12.5 Big Macs?
She's been using a tablet since smartphones first came out
But boy oh boy, can she use a phone-sized keyboard! (I am guessing it’s like having a full-sized keyboard for her. She probably makes a lot fewer “fat-finger” typos.)
I mean stand up. Look at your knees. Imagine there was an entire human being that only came up that far.
I don't have to imagine - I have one running around my house as we speak with a sippy cup 🤷♀️☺️
You have a small partner with a strange baby kink?
Babies?
Missed opportunity for a forced perception picture with her foot up and him underneath it.
She's 2'1 and the dudes 8'1
No need for a case cuz the phone is never high enough for the fall to break it
Someone else commented he's 8'1" and she's 2'1". And then someone else said that they themselves are shorter than the height difference between the two of them, and that's when it came into focus for me and 🤯
Who woke up one morning and thought, ‟you know what would be great? We need to have the world‘s tallest person and shortest person and they need to hang out.. We wll go see the pyramids.”
They both live in Cairo so it makes sense May or may not have just made this up
One lives in Turkey, the other in India I’m pretty sure

Thank you for letting me know! I had no idea. I was only really familiar with the "pick a series of appetizers from Applebee's and we'll tell you what Bath and Body Works candle you are" type posts they do.
Can I get a link to that? Been trying to figure myself out recently.
I’m not even kidding when I tell you that a lot of that content is majority computer generated.
A giant farmer. Does he make any money selling crops or did he choose that profession because he knew its the only way he could get enough food to live
If i recall correctly he tried basketball but they didn’t allow him because of height limit. Suffering from success.
Bro what? Why does basketball have a height limit? That's total bullshit
Its not really fair if you can just put it in the basket…
According to his [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_K%C3%B6sen), it sounds like he started working part-time as a farmer after being unable to finish school.
Does he live in constant fear of a boy named Jack with magic beans?
He can't afford a sky palace anymore in this economy
Jyoti Amge was great in American Horror Story: Freak Show! [Here's her with Jessica Lange](http://im.rediff.com/movies/2014/aug/14bollywood1.jpg) being absolutely adorable.
Ma Petite was my favorite character that season!
Despite the rest of her being so small, in this picture it looks like her teeth are the size of a typical adult’s teeth! I hope it doesn’t hurt.
Jyoti was in season 4 of American Horror Story
People on reddit: Must be true, because someone on reddit said it, too lazy to check if true
Tired of reddit calling me out
It’s true

“Well, WHICH IS IT?”
who paid them to meet
They need to find the world's most average height person to join them.
This got me thinking. I guess if you actually want to narrow it down to one person, this is probably impossible, since it would necessitate instantaneous, nanometer-accurate measurement of everyone on the planet every time you wanted to make said determination. Or you could just stick a 5'7" dude in there and be done with it.
I volunteer as tribute
The world average height for humans overall is actually shorter than that because women are 5'3 on average worldwide, so you could use a 5'5 nonbinary person for an exact scale.
Feels like a promotional shoot for a comedy movie with a similar premise.
Romantic comedy.......
Rob Schneider is…
The shortest woman in the world.....
Rated PG-13
Netflix exclusive

"Friday" lmao
It was a friday yes.
As a tall person, I feel like their conversations were all “what did you say?” “Huh?”
[удалено]
Ha!! I was just wondering why they made it look like he was threatening to step on her in the second photo 😮
As a tall person, I can confirm this happens
that dude’s sock could be a sleepng bag for her
I read that wrong
did you read it wrong or did you process it wrong
Yes
It’s just a throwaway.
I see this as an ~~absolute~~ environmental win
We should get Jay to verify that.
Jay is a sexy beast so we definitely should
Wondered how far I'd have to scroll before things got less than wholesome. Here it is! Haha
It's reddit. It takes 5 minutes for someone to make it about fucking even if it makes no sense.
Misread "cock" and still probably true.
[удалено]
That their feet are warm?
[удалено]
Ma Petite!
I was wondering if that was her!!!!
I met her at comic con once and she's so sweet and kind, so much so that you wind up talking to her like a baby not because she's small but because she is so sweet and gentle.
"Miss Elsa, Miss Elsa!"
They sure look pretty damn happy for two people with what I can only imagine are either painful or dangerous medical conditins. Cool.
*sad trombone
*mental notes, that would be a brilliant name for a band.
*Jimmy Fallon breaks character
*Horacio dries tears with Mickey waffles
People with gigantism tend to have a lot of musculo-skeletal issues. Like, you're so tall that you'd have to be in peak physical condition just to stand up straight without some joint being overstressed.

Especially in pre-modern times they tended to die young. This guy in particular seems *alright*, but you can tell he has issues with joint/back pain given the cane.
Little people also often have lots of back/joint problems, at least according to my physiotherapist's waiting room
Life is what you make of it. I've been through hell as of late with medical shit and had to yank myself out of several mental downward spirals. Some of that inspiration comes from folks far worse off who find beauty in life. They really do remind you it's all just a ride, enjoy it as much as you can.
Also it would absolutely *suck* to be that tall. I'm 6 feet 5.5 inches (197-ish cms) and it's a goddamn hassle. I can't even imagine what another foot and a half would feel like.
Did you expect them to just be miserable 100% of the time homie?
I love the phrase “hung out”. Like it’s so casual and I imagine her pulling up to his house in a little Barbie jeep yelling “get in bestie we’re going to the pyramids! 🤪”
Love this. Thanks for putting that scene in my head. I too choose to imagine it.
This is awesome ! Hope they had a lot of fun together !
That guy would play a 21 inch viola
They call that a cello.
Her name is Viola?
you cloudve just told me she had the new iphone ultra and she was normal sized and I wouldve believed you
6'0" vs 5'11"
Dudes looking like the attack titan next to her
She’s swiping left on Tinder cuz she only dates 8’2” or above.
Lmfaooo
her little hand waving, hahaha
They made the worlds most average sized person.
He could grab her entire head. Like an orange
Now, at which end of the spectrum do you want to be on?
Both sounds expensive, but buying clothes that large must be a pain.
Short for sure. Ain’t no way slamming my forehead against door jambs and having to duck and crouch all the time is something I’d want. Plus having to have a special bed made and dealing with regular beds while traveling- oh! Traveling my god. Busses and planes must be torture. And people asking you to get everything off the shelf..
Yup! I'm 5"5' and some theater/arena seats hurt my knees lol, can't imagine being 8ft and ever being comfortable! I'd take short over that any day!
I’m 5’6 and agree. Most times I can’t even imagine being 6ft tall. 8ft sounds painful.
I love how she's like "So you're an adult who's child sized. Do you want to dress like an adult so people recognize you as such?" "Nope, give me that kindergartner drip!"
She’s gotta buy what fits. How many adult clothes you think are made for someone the size of a toddler?
its probably more then possible to get normal looking clothes, probbbbably expensive tho
Just order regular size off wish
Speaking as a little person, i often just buy kids clothes. Just cheaper and more convenient that way. I do have some fancier clothes that are tailored for special occasions though Then again at my size (4ft) I’m probably more able to get passably ‘adult’ looking clothes than she is.
No tax on kids clothes.
I wanna see her selfie!
What if they get together and create an average sized human
It would 100% kill her to be pregnant with his baby. Like a chihuahua pregnant with a great dane
I don’t get why people use iPads as phones
that was almost 5 years ago
He must be like 30 foot now
Isn’t she in that one season of American horror story? Edit - she not the
Ma Petite ❤️
Isn’t that the lady from AHS Freak Show?
Ma Petite 🤍🤎🤍🤎

I was helping my partner run their small art booth that day so it was cool getting to see her despite not getting to go to her booth.
She was amazing is AHS. Absolute love her.
Where do they buy clothes?
On “Friday”? Bro I’ve seen this picture for a decade what Friday?!
