Discussion Are quora posts about increasing height truth, manlet cope or jew propoganda?

[blackraven]

I have recently been browsing quora and they suggest that playing, basketball, bouldering, jogging, jumping, stretching, pullups, chinups and sunbathing can help increase height.
Is there any merit of truth to it or is it just cope?

Even they say that it only works on teens and I honestly can't even think of a way to verify that

This is pure survivorship bias, there's a Tails video where he debunks PUA's and uses a swimmer as an example. He noted how all top swimmers have the same body shape and that they make training videos for other men to follow these videos, but very few of them ever develop such bodies. This is because their genetics allowed them to have the best bodies for swimming and men who are better swimmers enjoy swimming more.

Then he talks about American football jockeys and a selection bias in those that join, he said that smaller and weaker kids don't enjoy playing and stop participating and in the end only the big strong ones are left.

Basketball selects for taller players, it doesn't make them.

That would be like saying dating toilets makes you taller and White.

A coach told me you can gain about 1 cm by putting on muscle.
