There was the trend of making your legs longer so you’d be taller, at the cost of being unable to walk comfortably ever again

Wouldn't... That make your legs look disproportionately long in comparison to the rest of your body?

It's pretty funny how the before/after pictures in the article don't show their entire body, subtly cropping them so that you can't see their short guy torsos and their freakishly long legs altogether

Is there a surgery to do the opposite? I wouldn't mind losing a few inches. I'm pretty lazy too, so I could just sit around all day if walking became painful afterwards.

It depends on your initial proportions. There's a fair bit of variation in leg/torso ratio in humans so if you have stumpy legs it wouldn't look weird. An ethical surgeon would recommend against the procedure if your proportions don't suit

This is what kids who want to be a flight attendant do. Break their legs as they're growing so the legs don't get as long and you don't end up too tall for the job requirement. Sometimes it backfires and the kid ends up too short after deliberately breaking their legs a few times growing up.

I don’t think society can sustain gatekeeping body modifications once we can economically modify our limbs and poo poo. We’re normalizing gender changes, face modifications, breast augmentation, hair transplants.

Bring on the mod scene!

The mod scene started back in the 50's. Most people alive weren't even born before that started up.

The scene scene started much more recently though so it kind of comes out in the wash.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I had a Ilizarov frame a couple times for non-lengthening reasons and there was some excruciating pain involved when those pins were tightened. I also still get infections in the scars left by the pins.

Wouldn't recommend even if you're very insecure about your height.
