How can I become shorter?

[u/berrypie888]

Biologically and overall stupid question i know,
but I really need to become 1inch shorter (approximately 2-3cm) in a fast period of time.
What exercises, or sleep positions or other things I can do to shrink (don’t suggest me to cut smth bcs it’s a serious question, I need a job that has height limit)
Thanks!

If this post is real, this sounds like a job that has a height limit for safety reasons and you're trying to skirt those safety features.

If this is the case, there is then a strong possibility of you endangering yourself and possibly others through this selfishness.

it’s real, but 2 cm is like nothing but they create so much problem. like i slouch in real life, when we slouch we become shorter automatically, but they force us to stand straight as possible for taking measurements 🥲

What job has a height limit that you need this badly?

Humans shrink over the day, so you're taller in the morning.

So get measured in the night.....

Stand a lot. That also helps.

Sleep standing up, then your spine never has a chance to decompress

[u/rynnbowguy]

Wear baggy pants, bend your knees a little, practice in the mirror.

Use an orbital sander on the bottom of your feet to shave 1 inch off your height.

[u/gyozafish → u/CosmicDance2022]

They measure from the top, so it is better to sand down starting with the head.

Brilliant!

Are you going to be a jockey?

You could watch Tom and Jerry for some ideas

You'll need a frock coat, some strong rope, and two peg legs

Ridiculous

Heavy barbell squats

There’s nothing you can do that wouldn’t cause permanent damage. Wear flat shoes, slouch, and scrunch your neck down like a turtle. Then stand up, walk out, and look for a real job.

Posture.
