Put a few hundred seedlings to ground and my back started to ache.

Then I considered my figure during the planting and that was like stretching down, because of the tools. This made me wonder why everything is made for really short people?

Planting tools, spades, chainsaw bars, cupboards, whatever. Everything is made to be reached down to. It's like we're following a standard which was created in 1800 when all the peole were 150cm.

When can we see tools and design for real people?

Idk.. you been to a new movie theater lately?

The seats they fill them with nowadays are definitely not for restricted growth people ?

WW Obesity Chart, I've never seen one regards short people, however did read Dutch are the tallest. Just think how much red there could be once Canada and Greenland are "absorbed. "

Finland? You're probably descended from Vikings. They weren't farming, they were conquering the known world! Drop the trowel, take up the axe!

We have been americanizing Saudi for the past few decades, and it shows. With the order of F15s you need at least 4 McDonalds per jet.

Also I am not short, just started growing in another direction instead.

See there, the handle bar is too low and too short. The operator does not have relaxed arm posture and can't walk comfortably instead making these small steps. Make 30 years of that and he'll have shoulder and hip pains.

My 6'5" neighbor drilled an extra set of holes in the mower handle bracket to raise it up another few inches. He bought a snowblower based on how high the handles were.
I just make my wife do those things. ;)
If there's a will, there's a way.
