This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

6 ft is just over 180cm

i noticed that in metric countries people seem to think about height relative to 180cm, like Americans do with 6ft. (cept 180 cm is more like 5'11'')

so 6 ft is 182.33 cm

There was an OkCupid analysis about this in 2010, with a mostly bell shaped distribution of self reported heights slightly skewed taller than the real world, with an an interesting stretch of a larger portion of people willing to stretch slightly more to a self-reported 6 feet tall.
