I reckon double gees/ caltrops hurt more. They are prickles from an African plant and are designed to be carried around on the bottom of elephant and rhinoceros feet, which have 1 inch thick leather souls.

The common name of double gee is because you go ahhh gee wizz when you first step on them. Then you say it again when you try to grab them.

They are shaped like a pyramid and have a 3-4mm long spike sticking out each corner, so whichever way they land, a spike is always sticking up. When you step on one, it sticks in your foot and hurts. When you try to grab it, you get stabbed in the finger and thumb and more pain.

But stepping on Lego with bare feet is painful too.

Ouchhhhhh. Sounds a little bit like the sand burrs in Florida!

My dad is 5'11 but my brother is 6'3 I think. I am only 5'3, so I am a whole foot shorter than him! My dad's dad and my dad's brother are both very tall too, so height can clearly come from more than just what your parents height is, when it comes to genetics

I’m hoping to get over 6” by my 16th birthday. I’m glad I’m as tall as I am, but I, also glad I’m shorter or ridiculously tall.

There is this guy (dare I say friend) that goes to my homeschool group and occasionally works at my work, and he has to be at least 6”6’, and he’s only 14. It’s ridiculous how tall he is.

But, he says that being tall isn’t always that great. For one thing, people always mention it. He says usually the first thing people say to him, is “Wow, you’re super tall!”. He gets noticed for his height first.

Second thing is, tall people (including my friend) have back/leg pains, due to their height. There’s this other guy that goes to my work who is super tall, but he has to see a doctor every week because of his height.

At the Prom, my first dance was with this girl I sort of knew. But the first thing she said to me was, “Wow, you’re a lot taller than my last partner!”

I would say being short/moderately tall/super tall all have their advantages and disadvantages. :)

How about a Stone Fish? Probably the same, if not more, painful. :crazy:

Stonefish are more painful than double gees, and the stonefish can send you to hospital, prickles don't.

That is caused by poor posture and looking down all the time. There are plenty of people that are 6 foot plus and have no issues with their back or legs.

Now that you mention it, he does look down a ton. Maybe I should politely correct him next time I see him doing that.
 
I’m 6’0 and predicted to be 6’2 which I would enjoy because being taller than that just seems like a drag. They also said that about my brother he turned out to be 6’7 so I don’t really know how tall I’m going to be. I try to have a good posture but sometimes the weirdest positions to sit are the most comfortable.

Well... I was predicted to be over 6” when I was like 5, because the doctors measured me and did some freaky calculations. My sister and brother on the other hand, are crazy short.

I’m already taller than my dad and mom.
 
Super off topic, but why is TikTok SO obsessed with bettas? I've said this before in the Unpopular Opinions thread but I don't see the appeal in most bettas (unless they're particularly extravagant) and I don't see why the mainstream fishkeeping community is so fixated on them.

Not to mention the amount of betta-abuse you see on there.

TikTok is stupid and grotesque, I’m not surprised.

You see those “fish drinking” challenges, where people buy live fish and the swallow them whole so they can feel them alive in their stomach. It’s cruel and gross. ?

Once a guy did that (above), but he got a Cory, and it stuck its barbs in his throat - KARMA!!

I always tell my partner @randal_ivory that story when I talk about corys! They're so sweet and unassuming, you almost forget that they have the power to kill, lol.

Didn’t realize she was your partner! ?

They could only kill you if you ingested them I believe - they don’t have venom.
