People vary in height throughout the day due to spine compression. You are at the tallest in the morning before your spine has had time to compress. Adults get shorter as they age largely due to the same phenomenon taking place over many years.
But I think that says “average human” and not “average height”.

When Topic A discourse is applied to Topic B, it changes the entire context and tone of the conversation. I’ve seen it used to make humorous posts where the OP was transparent about the fact that they would change their posts to make the person responding to them seem crazy. While being upfront about that for the lulz is fine, it can easily be abused if the OP has ulterior motives. The OP can post flamebait, some people fall for it, then the OP edits their posts to seem more grounded and reasonable, while making the people replying to them seem unreasonable.
All that said, I’m sure the mods have change logs of posts and some people would definitely notice the edits. Not to mention the Way Back Machine.
I’m sure someone smarter than me could come up with worse abuse of the post edit system, and why it wouldn’t really matter too much in the end.

For me it’s more kicking me while I’m down. I do not need a new windshield right now, life!
“Courage means being scared but doing it anyway” seems like a pretty succinct way of putting it I think.
My wierd compliment (if it can be called that) was when I was in high school English class. My teacher noticed how competent I was and how I was the only one to consistently raise my hand when he asked a question. He gave us a research paper to do and I got an F on it, exclusively because I fucked up the citations. He said the content was good, but he had to mark me way down due to improper citing. He said “I know you can do better than this.”
Is that a complement? Either way, I think about that interaction and scenario a lot even though I haven’t been in high school for well over a decade.
Anybody know what hydrogen and helium say?
I’m talking out of my ass, but it could mean that the natural conclusion of democracy is mob rule, where nothing matters besides the sentiment of “the mob”, a large group of like-minded people. Here he was falsely accused of theft but because enough people believed the lie, he was taken to jail based solely on sentiment.
Or not. This is my take on his “democracy manifest” comment.
What do all of these trees have in common to collectively be called “yew”?
Bob the Builder encourages confidence in one’s abilities. He says “can we fix it?” And then immediately responds with “yes we can!” and expects you to respond the same with him. The meme is saying their decline in their self confidence and even world view started when they didn’t respond “yes we can” but instead “no we cant”
Understood. Thanks for taking the time to educate me!

I gotta agree with the post. Millie would be a cute alternative Mildred. The name reminds me of mildew.

I didn’t have sex with a girl I had a crush on for the longest time.
It didn’t matter a bit in the long run, but it would have been nice.
I don’t understand how cereal box puzzles would translate over to DnD.
I also don’t know about ripping off movie and TV characters and just swapping out the names. I suppose it depends on the character, but I feel like this is the easiest one to tell that it was “stolen”.
Using Pokémon descriptions for monsters is aces though, even if you use the older mons. I think Monster Hunter monsters would also translate over pretty well.
The overarching answer is “people are different”. But I suspect you want a more granular answer than that.
Depending on various factors like age, sex, hydration status, disease process, etc., some people’s skin is more elastic than others. People also have different pain tolerances. If you mix and match all of these factors, you’ll get people reacting differently to the same stimuli.
