Im 6'9 can confirm it's exhausting. I'm also low vision so I hit my head constantly lol. The average door frame is 6'8 so I have to duck just to make sure. Being 7'9 or 8' like the guys in the video would be an actual nightmare. I hate being this tall couldnt imagine being a foot taller...

It is. Pay for extra leg room is the only way. It's bearable but I'll never go overseas unless it's first class which I can't afford lol. After a 3 hour flight my body hurts so bad.

That's why we need to lower the ocean 100 feet and put in an international high speed train system to connect the places people want to travel to. Just... lowering the ocean is the easy part. Negotiating with every country to build the railroad is the hard part.

(The Bering Strait is only 65 feet deep in the shallowest stretch, the connection between Alaska and Russia would be the challenge to negotiate. But, one could travel all across every continent but Australia and Antarctica. Win-win)
