This one is for you, @hotdogsladies.

FAQ:
1) This is a proof-of-concept; no promises
2) I don't know when it'll ship, if I can even get it production-ready
3) Data coverage (Wikidata) is okay but not stellar; not all actors will have their heights shown
4) I'll try to use sensible units for countries that aren't idiots like us

I think I've got units working for countries that make sense.

This is all based on your setting in Settings → General → Language & Region → Measurement System.

🇺🇸/🇬🇧 get feet/inches.
The rest of the world gets cm.

I genuinely don't know how this will play in 🇨🇦, so, uh, good luck, northern friends? 😬

@caseyliss It’s our fault for not concretely choosing

@christianselig @caseyliss We’re weird. km, °C - I adapted to those easily / quickly (I’m barely old enough to remember pre-metric) - and can move between those and the (barbaric) US measures easily.
Height/weight, though…it’s always “ok - I’m 5’11” = 180cm; RR is 188cm, so that’s 8cm diff, divided by 2.5 = ~3.x, so…he’s like 6’2”. “
