Software engineers from big tech firms like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are paying at least $75,000 to get 3 inches taller, a leg-lengthening surgeon says

The surgeon breaks the patients' thigh bones and inserts nails that are extended with a magnetic remote control every day for three months, GQ said.

Sweet man-made horrors beyond my comprehension.

    seems like a bad fucking idea, its not like chiseling 1mm of bone off your face by cutting through your gumline leaving no visible scars, youre getting your femur cut in half and having metal with screws drilled in to it to extend it

    then of course its possible for the device to malfunction or need to be replaced in a decade or two. and of course there can be complications from moving and stretching so much muscle around, all the major arteries and nerves could be severely damaged.
