Yeah 12ft doenst seem to work on any sites anymore. Does anyone have any alternatives that work? I'm already familiar with the airplane mode trick but that's not always fit for purpose.

So what you're saying is that we need 13ft.io

12ft1in.io

Go as small as possible so that our ladder only has to get slightly longer. Plus I’m petty.

Everyone besides US Americans won't understand imperial measurements

Since there’s approximately 17,000 Subway Sandwich locations across 100 countries outside the United States I’m gonna say that most people can just imagine 12 (maybe 13 if we assume the 11in subway lawsuit) full size Subway Sandwiches stacked on top of each other.

More than 400000 of us for each of those locations then, and how many of us have then bothered to wander in, I wonder?

Anyway, would you really trust an American company to actually make their sandwiches 1ft tall?

How would you even start to eat such a thing?

(Also most standardized feet are around 30 cm, so 12ft is ~ 3.6 m)
