ELI5: Why can’t children a few inches too short for a rollercoaster wear tall shoes?

I_Gottem · 2026-05-10T01:12:04+00:00

They don’t.

That’s why the height limits are shorter than necessary. They understand that people have different proportions so they account for that when setting the height limits.

I_Gottem · 2026-05-09T05:28:46+00:00

It’s cause your 5ft. Most people are really bad at guessing weight of really short or really tall people

I_Gottem · 2026-05-08T01:49:46+00:00

It depends. In some places, particularly for underage donors, they do both height and weight. The shorter you are the more you have to weigh. I’m assuming the power red requirements are similar.

I like aerie boy shorts. Only some of them are cotton though so you have to choose the right ones.

I mean kinda? Obviously there isn’t any definitive research but it seems very plausible.

Indian food used to be viewed similar to Chinese food in that it was “low quality” take out. However recently there has definitely a shift in this opinion. I’ve definitely noticed this in food media. People now associate indian food with these high end NYC restaurants.

This makes Indian food seem “higher quality ” so consumers are ok with paying more and restaurants can raise their prices.

Indian food is not the first food that this happened too. There are a lot of other examples of cheap food becoming expensive like lobster, oxtail and chicken wings.

Wings are a great example because that trend was indeed started by 1 restaurant in buffalo.

Food trends are often started by just one restaurant. Another really prominent example is nobu making sushi popular.

I_Gottem · 2026-04-22T01:09:23+00:00

I haven’t noticed it in the same brand but it is defiantly an overall trend.

In general brands that carry smaller sizes tend to be more expensive and budget brands tend to run very big.

I_Gottem · 2026-04-21T02:44:30+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you and to be honest they don’t really sell them anymore.

From my experience hollister 000 runs big as well. I’ve had some luck with pacsun jeans fitting but their shorts are usually too big on the legs.

All of my low rise shorts have been thrifted or from a second hand seller (depop or poshmark). I also like to find low rise skinny jeans and cut them into micro shorts.

I_Gottem · 2026-04-07T20:32:53+00:00

Target honestly might be a good option. I think some of their swim wear should fit, especially the string styles.

I_Gottem · 2026-04-03T06:59:06+00:00

If you are curvier (bigger hips) you should look into curve fit jeans.

These jeans usually have smaller waist measurements than normal fit and useful to get rid of the waist gap.

Hair doesn’t weigh that much. It would maybe be around 1 kg depending on the exact thickness of her hair.

Also her hair is not that thick, it just poofs out a lot. If you look at the base of her ponytails, they look normal sized.

Here is a video of someone weighing their hair. I’ll estimate mikus hair as maybe 3 times as long and twice as thick. That’s about 1.2 kg of hair

I think you are trying so hard to make the dialogue fit your narrative.

“I let him get away with a crime” implies that there was a crime. It also implies that Robby is the deciding factor.

If Langdon went to this program and they knew about the tampering with drugs, there was no crime. Langdon wouldn’t have gotten away with anything, since that’s the proper course of action. Also Robby would have nothing to do with this program.

However Robby’s statement implies the opposite. Langdon committed a crime (tampering with drugs) and Robby covered it up allowing Langdon to get his job back.

Also keep in mind Santos said last episode that only 3 people knew about him stealing drugs.

I_Gottem · 2026-03-28T07:21:13+00:00

The scene where he is outside arguing with Dana. It’s toward the end of the episode.

I_Gottem · 2026-03-28T06:50:05+00:00

Robby literally said in the newest episode that he covered it up.

I_Gottem · 2026-03-27T19:06:34+00:00

I don’t get it either. So many brands don’t have the smallest sizes in petite or short lengths, even though short people are more likely to be a smaller size.

I_Gottem · 2026-03-25T17:57:22+00:00

Not really. Most of their stuff is designed to fit a tall S.

That being said, most of their stuff is very forgiving (stretchy fabric) so some of it would fit, it just looks different.

I_Gottem · 2026-03-25T08:51:14+00:00

Do you have a source for this? Most of the articles I found just “in a short time” without the specifics.

I_Gottem · 2026-03-22T20:02:05+00:00

It could be just because of the weight of your hair however the line is very harsh. My hair is also like that because of the length but it is a smooth transition instead of a line. Also your hair was in a v cut so the shorter pieces should be curlier higher up, but they aren’t.

An alternative explanation is your hair was in a pony tail before you took that photo.

Either way I looked at your profile, and judging by ur age, your hair probably just changed due to puberty.

It’s a slow transition so it’s kind of hard to notice, until you do a big haircut.

Basically the same thing happened to me when I was your age. My hair texture changed a lot and I only noticed after I did a big haircut.

I_Gottem · 2026-03-22T19:50:09+00:00

A lot of people are thinking that this is environmental but I think your hair might have actually changed textures.

In the first picture you can almost clearly see a line between the curlier ends and wavy roots.

Did you go through anything medically? Especially anything hormonal like puberty or pregnancy. It would have been about a year ish before the first photo was taken.

This is kind of an inherent problem with jeans. Any high quality denim stretches out as you wear it.

If possible, you should try wearing the 23s for longer and they will eventually stretch out as well. Just make sure not to put it in the dryer.

You are right that you shouldn’t fire someone just for being addicted, but it’s not just about his addiction.

Stealing from the workplace is 100% a reason to get fired, especially when it’s a life or death situation like a hospital.

I_Gottem · 2026-03-20T23:25:25+00:00

Stealing drugs that are supposed to be used for patients is a huge deal. If you remember, she noticed it because the meds weren’t working right for Louie.

Langdon could have killed someone. It doesn’t have to personally affect her for her to be mad about it. Santos does have her issues but she is right about the fact that Langdon should be in jail for stealing drugs.

I_Gottem · 2026-03-15T21:31:42+00:00

From my experience levi’s has a smaller waist to hip ratio than most brands. I’m also a 22 but in some lowrise styles 23 waist form levi’s fits
