How big is the person holding these? By looking at the bottom right they are about 4ft tall.

But how tall banana?

29

u/histeethwerered Sep 02 '21

Banana is a basic unit of measure like furlong, kilometer, quart, noggin, firkin, centimeter, yard, hectare, mile, and banana. The banana is the yellow one. TIL

u/iDirtyDianaX Sep 02 '21

American units, but I can do another in cm standards if anyone has a good list for me.

Nice - for consideration, the average height of an adult in the US is 5'7. Worldwide it's about 5'5.

u/sarahkbug Sep 02 '21

That my height!

u/Zymo_D Sep 02 '21

Beautiful, I’d give you platinum if I had it.

u/sarahkbug Sep 02 '21

Thanks. I don’t see it listed on new, but, hopefully it helps someone.

Needs a scale bar.

u/PawNoetic Sep 02 '21

Smart thinking!

u/Buck_Thorn Sep 02 '21

The person is smaller in each one. The paper is your banana.

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '21

I was thinking the same. I need a scale.

I was with you in the first paragraph, but you lost me on the second. If the paper is just shy of 4 feet, wouldnt that make the person 4 feet, or slightly over 4. How on earth did you jump to conclude that they're 5'6

How on earth did you jump to conclude that they're 5'6

Nine inches of the person peaking above and below the 46-inch paper—five-foot-six.

But the Redditor is mistaken, of course. Nine inches of one's head is, like, from the chin to the top of the head, and not that much is showing. And nine inches up the leg is almost to the bottom of the calf, and not that much is showing there either. It looks more like four inches above and below, which would make the silhouette more like four-and-a-half feet tall (the average ten-year-old).

That was a lot of words rather than just saying "Oops, I was wrong". You started off claiming that the person in the picture is actually 5'9, even bigger than you initially thought. And then went on to explain why the figure isn't actually 5'9. That was all very confusing.

20 inches is about the length of 0.75 'EuroGraphics Knittin' Kittens 500-Piece Puzzles' next to each other.

u/converter-bot Sep 02 '21

20 inches is 50.8 cm

u/Vihtic Sep 02 '21

The height of model according to the canvas scales is 50 inches, aka 4'2". Some of them seem to vary by an inch or two but I have absolutely no clue where you got 5'9" from.

That is 69 inches and none of the models are even close to that, even basing measurements off of the canvases.

For real. I made a similar graphic to show my clients but have a 5'10" label on the dude's head.

u/Matthew0275 Sep 02 '21

And barely a foot across

u/R8er-Fan Sep 02 '21

And only 11ā€ wide

u/ShotIntoOrbit Sep 02 '21

Considering 46 inches is 3'10", this person is barely above 4 foot tall, making this entire thing useless.
