Cool Comparison Pictures That’ll Put Things In Perspective
You never know how massive, small, or different some things are until you've compared them with something else. That goes for the length of your pants compared with your girlfriend's, and many more things as well. A great example of this is before-and-after photos of celebrities before they made it big.
Take a moment and see some of the best comparison pictures ever.
Nailed It
What is this we see here? Did someone really compare a woman's ombré hair with the levels of burnt toast you can cook?
That's some next-level trickery if you ask us.
Video Game Graphics Are Insane
Imagine thinking that the graphics on the lefthand side once left us mind-blown.
Today, we're playing games with virtual reality, and the looks of games are only getting better. This is a vast difference.
The Difference Is Amazing
The image on top is after the pup got adopted in 2012.
Years later, this dog looks as happy as they come, and we're glad this person could be a help.
Things Change In The Winter
Take a moment and look at how much distance is between the top of the sign and the guy when it's summer.
So many feet of snow piled up when the winter arrived!
Don't Drink The Unfiltered Water!
This is crazy. That fact that in just three months a water filter can accumulate this much dirt is terrifying.
Honestly, this would be a great ad for a water filter company because it's totally convinced me.
Day And Night
It's really cool that squares make up the beautiful city of Barcelona.
What gets us, though, is how the city looks at night when it's lit up compared to the daytime.
Dolphins Are A Rare Breed
Dolphins are some of the smartest creatures out there next to humans. Look at the size of their brains next to a shark's!
This should let you know you can outsmart a shark if push comes to shove.
Tornado VS. Wind Turbines
On a regular day, whenever you see wind turbines, you'd think they're pretty big.
On a scary day when a tornado this large arrives, the turbines look like mice in comparison.
It Makes Sense Why They Call Kawhi Leonard The Claw
Looks like he was built to play basketball from the fingertips up!
Leonard's hands measure a whopping 11.25 inches from thumb to pinkie, and just knowing that you can definitely infer why he's so good at what he does.
They're Both 13!
Okay, one of these kids looks like they might have a future in sports.
The other one might still grow later down the line, but that other 13-year-old looks like he wants to dunk on someone.
Left-Handed Compared To Right
Why there are many more right-handed people in the world compared to lefties still bewilders us.
What's so great about the right hand anyway? Look at how many people don't use the left door handle.
A Falcon And A Stealth Bomber!
If we didn't know any better, we would think that the military ripped off the aerodynamics of a falcon for their B2 Stealth Bomber.
Well, they more than likely did.
This Is Only An 11-Day Difference
It looks like a maple tree can go through a lot in less than two weeks.
Changing from a solid green to being completely yellowish-orange is wild, but we appreciate it.
What Living Next To The Ocean Does
This house is pretty close to the ocean.
If you look at the doorknob on the outside and compare it to the inside one, you'd see the difference ocean air makes.
Movies VS. The Real Thing
Unless you have a fun cat, we suggest you do not try this.
It looks like this person's cat wants to claw out everyone's eyes in the vicinity, no matter their affiliation.
The Titanic Wasn't As Big As We Thought
This picture of the Titanic in front of a modern cruise ship today just demonstrates how far we've come in engineering.
What was big back then looks like a little tugboat next to today's behemoths.
The Fluffy Or Clean Cut?
There are two types of look these corgis can rock. Either the super-fluffy style or the clean-cut style.
Many owners like to go with the neater cut, but some like them fluffier!
That's The World's Smallest...
That's the world's smallest computer next to a grain of rice! That computer measures 0.33mm on each side.
They use this small device as a precision temperature sensor according to the folks at Google.
Wow, They Look Very Similar...
We're not here to tell you what to believe.
But after looking at these skeletons of a human and a gorilla, some theories start to make more sense than others.
Big Cat, Little Cat
This is quite the difference. The tiny prints you see on the right belong to two smaller cats.
The trail on the left is from a heavier cat running through the snow.
Both From The Same Era
The tiny boat you see is a model of one that Christopher Columbus sailed. The one that's 10 times its size belonged to Chinese explorer Zheng He.
They both lived in the same era, so that's quite the difference.
Which Do You Think Is The Bee Stinger?
What you're looking at is a bee stinger and a needle. Clearly, one seems more threatening than the other, and that's the bee stinger.
It has extra ridges and even looks sharper at the tip.
Her Jeans Next To His
Wow, the size discrepancy between this couple is huge! He looks double her size if we're judging based on these jeans.
He probably gives her great piggyback rides at concerts.
A Great Anti-Smoking Ad...
This is the only picture the anti-tobacco lobby needs to show to convince people to put down the toxin.
One set of blinds isn't as white as the other because the occupant is a smoker.
The 10-Year Phone Challenge
In 1998, they had it rough when it came to phones.
Sure, they were probably grateful to have those pieces of junk, but look what we casually had in 2018!
You Get What You Pay For
The moral of this story is that you get what you pay for.
Also, if you're going to pay $400 for a lightsaber, it had better be able to slice through something.
Cleaning Time Is No Fun
This doggo looks miserable while getting cleaned up.
The beach smiles are precious, but why does she have to have so much despair on her face just to get her feet cleaned?
Godzilla Is Shorter Than Japan's Tallest Bridge
Wait a minute. Why did Japan build such a massive bridge? Did they really think Godzilla was going to come and attack the city?
That's an insane difference, don't you think?
No More Fires, Please
When California fell victim to raging fires, the ash and smoke changed the way it looked outside.
What you see is what it usually looks like compared to when the cities went ablaze.
Okay, Prehistoric Animals Were Pretty Terrifying
This just proves that the world truly was a scary place back in the day. Basically everything was massive and could've killed us.
I'm so glad I'm born here and now where the biggest threat to my life is heart disease.
Reason #87559 Why Pluto Isn't A Planet
Believe it or not, but the diameter of Pluto is slightly smaller than Australia.
If this isn't the final nail in the coffin on why Pluto shouldn't be a planet, then I don't know what is.
1927 Pennies Look Like They Cost $1 To Make
A lot of people want the penny phased out because we make them at a loss, but it looks like we've actually gotten way more sensible since 1927.
This penny is huge compared to today's and definitely didn't make any cents to make.
The PS5 Controller And Captain America
When Sony revealed the controller for their PS5, some fans couldn't believe their eyes.
Others looked closer and saw that they ripped off the one and only Captain America for inspiration.
Elephants Are More Like Humans Than We Thought
So are elephants just walking around on their tippy-toes all the time then? Is the material in the rest of the foot just muscle, skin, and nail?
Whatever it is, it's one heck of a wedge heel.
PSA: Clean Your Mousepads!
This is why you should clean your mousepad, folks. It gets dirty even if you think it doesn't.
Just think, that's all this person's hand grime from over the years... anyway, want to shake hands?
Classism At Its Finest
Someone's friend shared this on Facebook, and we couldn't applaud them more for this perfect analogy.
The fact that this is pretty accurate is both hilarious and a sign of classism.
Lebron Struggling In Cleveland VS. Los Angeles
Thank goodness LeBron James got out of Cleveland before his hair completely fell out for good!
Once he arrived in Los Angeles, his hair magically came back fuller and better than ever.
The Boat Is 75 Feet Long And The Whale Is Almost Double!
This is your friendly reminder that the blue whale is the largest animal ever on earth. We're not talking the largest animal currently alive, we mean the largest animal to ever
live on this planet over the course of billions of years. Cool.
No, That's Not A Toy School Bus
The kinds of equipment we use in construction and terraforming are a lot bigger than we can ever imagine.
This beast of a vehicle can move a lot of lands, and that's equally terrifying and cool.
How Much Of That Is Hair?
There's no doubt that the Maine coon cat is bigger than your typical American shorthair.
We're curious about how much of his size comes from all of his fur, though.
Took The Excitement Right Out Of Him
On the car ride to the lake, he was ecstatic, ready to see all of the sights and smell all of the smells that the beach had to offer him.
Based on the second photo, he got exactly what he wanted and now he's ready to happily sleep for 12 hours.
The Lights Of East Vs. West Berlin
Decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, this photo was taken.
It shows the difference in the kinds of lightbulbs that were used in lights on different sides of the wall can be still be seen from space.
Twelve Hours Makes All The Difference
Rising tides are not a new phenomenon, but seeing it in a photo is more impactful.
This same dock in Nova Scotia looks a lot different in the morning than it does 12 hours later.
The Players Compared To The Cheerleaders
If we asked you to guess who of these five women played on the U.K. women's basketball team and who were the cheerleaders, would you be able to guess correctly?
Let's hope so.
Mussels Get The Job Done
Two tanks were filled with water from a Virginia stream and set up to sit for 24 hours. One tank had mussels in it, one did not.
Mussels deserve more credit for their cleaning services.
They Make The Rock Look Like The Pebble
As a friendly reminder, Dwayne Johnson is 6'4" and weighs more than 250 pounds.
There's a reason they call him The Rock, but that reason seems to have escaped us when you compare him to Charles Barkley and Shaq.
Try Not To Stair For Too Long
One set of stairs was built in 1829, the other was built in 2005.
Even though they were built a little over a decade ago, the stairs on the right look practically as good as new compared to the ones from the 1800s.
Would You Like Sparkling Or Still?
Next time a waiter in a restaurant asks if you want sparkling or still water for the table, try asking for half and half.
You get the best of both worlds, or more realistically, some diluted bubbly water.
The King Of The Ocean
If you weren't already nervous about what lies beneath the surface of the ocean, or if you just needed another reason to freak out...
Look at this size comparison of a human compared to a blue whale.
