When you see certain things of certain sizes , it can be really hard to imagine them bigger or smaller than they are. So, when you actually see something that’s bigger or smaller than it usually is, it’s kind of shocking.
The pictures in this list are anything but normal . They’re kind of making me doubt my own sense of scale.
“Found a tiny seemingly ripe orange.”
I wonder if there’s a world record for smallest orange. And if there is, I wonder how close this little guy would be to holding that record. Like, it’s so tiny!
“The Brachma is the largest breed of chicken weighing in at 9kg.”
I can confidently say that I’ve never seen a 20 pound chicken before in my life. This thing is bigger than some dogs! I’m impressed, but also a little terrified.
“Christ the Redeemer getting some maintenance for its upcoming 90th birthday.”
I have personally never been to Rio de Janeiro, but I still feel like people wouldn’t look at the Christ the Redeemer statue and think it was as big as it is.
How big road signs really are, with a human for scale.
This is another one of those things we don’t really think of as super big. But I guess it actually makes a lot of sense, since you can see highway signs from pretty far away and all.
“Little flowers for a perfect ant bouquet?!”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such tiny flowers before! They’re actually really cute.
According to the comments, those are chickweed flowers. Neat!
RELATED STORIES
A cute little tiny kitchen model for all your cute little tiny kitchen model needs.
I think we need more miniatures in the world. Sure, they don’t really do much (unless you’re really into playing with dolls). But they’re super cute, and that’s good enough for me.
A tiny rubber duck, just because.
I don’t think you could take a bath with that rubber ducky. It’s so small, it would get whisked away with the bathwater as soon as you unplugged the drain. Poor guy!
“Nearly 7-foot, 240-pound lake sturgeon (left) caught in Detroit River believed to be 100+ years old.”
Yeah, see, this is why I hate any large body of water. You never know what absurdly large fish you’re going to find down there. This sturgeon is really giving me the creeps.
“My 6’ tall bf next to a tiny Fiat at a car show in Ocean City, Md.”
See, this is what I’d consider to be a clown car. I’m half expecting a dozen cheerful clowns to start climbing out of that thing.
“What is this? Hopscotch for ants?”
I’d really love to know who drew that, and why. Because no person (not even a kid) could play hopscotch on such a small board. Maybe it really is for ants.
“Big old bedwarmer.”
It’s amazing how some dogs can be like, five pounds, while other dogs can be over 100 pounds. And they’re all the same species! Dogs are truly a gift.
“Octopus Tree, Oregon coast.”
Believe it or not, there’s a person in this picture (bottom left, right next to a wooden sign). If that dude wasn’t there, I’d assume this tree was a normal size tree.
“The Big Pineapple in Queensland, Australia.”
I’m sure enough people have made jokes about this being SpongeBob’s house, even though it’s totally SpongeBob’s house. Still, never thought I’d see a pineapple this big.
“An absolute banger of a lobster.”
Excuse me while I reference SpongeBob once again, but this lobster has what can only be called big, meaty claws .
“In awe at the size of this breakfast menu in Blackpool.”
I’m sure that breakfast menu has every single breakfast item known to humankind. It probably has breakfasts from all around the world, too.
Great, now I’m craving breakfast.
“Long Banana (banana for scale).”
This is probably the only picture in this list that’s of something I’ve seen before. A very large banana. They happen, every now and then. No need to be alarmed.
This avocado, on the other hand…
Yeah, that avocado is a little ridiculous. But just imagine all the guac or the avocado toast you could get out of that thing! It’s a millennial’s dream.
Need more giant fruit? Check out this big ol’ raisin.
If that’s how big the raisin is, I’d love to have been able to see the grape it used to be. Just leave it out of any baked goods, and we’ll get along fine.
“A tiny pomegranate from my mom’s bonsai pomegranate tree.”
I feel like, if I had a tiny pomegranate, it just wouldn’t be the same. After all, the seeds are the part you actually want. And there are, like, no seeds in there.
“Biggest foosball table I’ve ever seen.”
I don’t even know how you’d play foosball on that thing. It’s probably, like, a 10 person game or something. At that point, you might as well be playing actual soccer.
