This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That’s cool but I feel like it would be a nightmare being that tall.
The back problems will kick in early.
Knees go quicker, especially for athletes
This is part of the reason I chose marching band over football and basketball.
Now I just have back problems.
Why? Height doesn't automatically equate to back problems. Uneven weight distribution (belly, boobs, etc.), poor stretching habits, lack of excerise, bad posture/form/lifting, or injury equate to back problems at ANY height.
I have one nephew at 6’10” and another that is 7’1”. They both cope well enough even when challenged with size obstacles. They are young and generally positively motivated which helps.
Oh yeah, being young would be great. I’d dunk on everyone.
I will clarify that being in my forties there’s no way that would be a good time.
I actually know someone who is that tall and he has a daughter who is tiny. It's really awkward talking to both of them at the same time because he stands at a normal distance which really feels far too close because of how tall he is, but if you step back you feel like you're about half a mile away from his daughter.
