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.

    I legitimately have no idea how tall I am anymore, just the ballpark number. I play Beat Saber and when it calibrates to height it tells me I'm 1.9m

    I'd always put 5'11" on dating profiles back in the day because I thought putting 6' flat would sound like I was lying. (edit: I definitely subscribe to the under promise and over deliver philosophy in other aspects of life so I guess this makes sense in hindsight)

      I have the same bizarre problem where I've had my height measured a few times at the doctors for routine checkups and I've had up to 2 inches of variation.
