what advantages/disadvantages do you see if we were giants, say 60 feet tall on average?
First of all, given the same force of gravity, you think we were able to survive for this long? The biggest flaw in the design of land based giant animals was that a small trip/fall used to break their bones cause they were so heavy.
Re: If we were Giants
advantage, we could peek into people's apartments even if they are on the 10th floor.
disadvantage, can't peek into 20th floor. :\
Re: If we were Giants
On a serious note, every floor would be 70 feet tall instead of regular 10 feet - which means we would be needing more material/resources per person. That is a disadvantage.
Re: If we were Giants
advantage: We could travel/walk to longer distances sooner 
Re: If we were Giants
Advantage: It would be easy to move from one place to another . I mean everything for them would be just at walking distance. They can just visit the whole world just like that 
Disadvantage:let me think 
Re: If we were Giants
oops hadeel just said that :D
Re: If we were Giants
If we were giants but the food was the same size then that would be a HUGE problem.
Like small tiny fruits and vegetables!!!
Re: If we were Giants
Too much kapra for the suit unless you plan to sleep naked.
Re: If we were Giants
never heard of baby carrots and baby corn?
sleeping naked might be ok, running around naked (as khatti was proposing) would be dangerous. Think of all that lose skin flapping around and killing small creatures in your vicinity/.
Re: If we were Giants
yeah I know.
Re: If we were Giants

Yeah okay then those will be like super mini if we were giants.
I mean.. oh :(
Re: If we were Giants
It would be so difficult to play hide n seek

It would be so difficult to play hide n seek
but would be so fun to play Twister.
Re: If we were Giants
I think transportation will not be used any further so pollution will be reduced
Re: If we were Giants
i’d be a sauropod :rotato:
Re: If we were Giants
We are giants ...
Re: If we were Giants
^ compared to ants, yes we are
Re: If we were Giants
Well you and bunch other are giants on GS.
Enjoy!!
Re: If we were Giants
Look at some of this tall fellas health problems at 8 something ft.
André the Giant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With the gravitational pull of the earth, tugging at every joint, a human that tall would not be possible. If somehow in someway someone created one that is 60 feet. It would move slower than a turtle, and eventually die a horribly painful and slow death due to rapid bone deterioration.
Re: If we were Giants
you are assuming that the current system of osteoblasts and osteoclasts would be responsible for bone dynamics in such a giant. Hardly true. Such a giant would “evolve” its own novel way of laying down hydroxylapatite crystals or a new type of mineral for cortical as well as spongy bone.
