We see and use regular-sized things every day. But today, they are taking a back seat as we explore the world of gigantic things! Referred to as “absolute units," they are a huge deal in the internet world.
The subreddit r/AbsoluteUnits is an online community dedicated to sharing things that are out of proportion to their surroundings. From gigantic animals to enormous objects, the Bored Panda team has compiled some of their best photos that will leave you impressed big time.This post may include affiliate links.
Riley Howell, 21. The Absolute Unit That Tackled The Uncc Shooter And Tragically Lost His Life
It would appear hero's do wear capes and a mortar board apparently. Sleep well my friend.
For non-Americans, could someone please post the story? Why are these lacking the original context, BP too lazy to copy/paste?

Load More Replies...To those unaware, the “absolute unit” meme is a fairly new concept. It first appeared on December 13, 2017, when a Twitter user named @mrreptoid shared a picture of British hotelier David Morgan-Hewitt standing next to the Queen of England. He wrote, “In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit.”
But the term started gaining popularity after the Museum of English Rural Life tweeted a picture of a ram with the caption “Look at this absolute unit” in 2018. Since then, a lot of photos of colossal animals, plants, and food have been shared online. Clearly, many people love bigger versions of things, as the Absolute Units group has amassed a whopping 1.7 million followers.

Did you not read the caption that says he weighs 3,000 pounds? Edit: I apologize. I guess the "Whoosh" going over my head distracted me.
Load More Replies...In Lord of the Rings Online, hobbits can have the profession of burglar, which is similar to rogue in other games. One of the skills is "trip", which costs the opponent a recovery turn (and the graphic is of the opponent falling over). This skill works on animals, too. There's a point in the game where pretty much every animal you kill is an aurochs. I absolutely loved taking my burglar out cow-tipping.
I am a mixed practice veterinarian, and one of my favorite clients has 2 Bison (Hulk & Thor) that he hand raised/ bottle fed. They are so sweet & if you scritch their faces, they'll lick you (their tongues are so weird!) and make the most satisfied noises lol. I definitely don't recommend doing that to random bison though.

An Absolute Tank
Okay, this is a standard draft horse, here used to pull out logs to limit damage to the forest soil. We do ring riding with them, here. Lovely, sweet, caring animals, who know their strength and are very careful around everything small.
Horses have an amazing awareness of hurting things. I had one who stood still in a field (I could see him from my kitchen window) for far too long, if you know what I mean. I went out to check on him, he wouldn't move. Pushed his shoulder, his hip, he swayed but would not move. He was usually very obliging. I happened to look down underneath his belly and there was a tiny kitten there in the long grass. He was that kind. I miss him.
Load More Replies...What an absolutely stunning horse. I love big horses like this but I'm way too small and weak to ever ride one, so I'll stick with my little Andalusian for now haha
I got scrapped off the back of a Belgian that was so tall you had to basically lay down on his back or get hit in the face by the top of the barn door opening. Nobody told me and I was not paying attention so one minute I'm riding the biggest horse of my life and the next I'm starting up at the sky and he starting at me like "Why are you down there?". Every time I visited after that and road him he would stop and check I still on his back before going in. So polite.
Check out the documentary "Martin Clunes: Heavy Horsepower" on Freevee (in the U.S.). I learned a lot about the different horse breeds and their purposes. Martin Clunes has done a number of documentaries and I've enjoyed them all. "A Man and his Dogs" is another favorite of mine
I always reminded of the song ", Heavy Horses" by Jethro Tull from the album of the same name. One of my absolute favorites.
Many of us are fascinated by objects that are not the size we normally expect them to be. The internet loves small and big versions of, well, anything and everything. Even Hollywood adores the concept of miniatures and giants.
The movie “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” where an inventor accidentally shrinks 4 kids, was so popular they made a sequel for it. In the new film, “Honey, I Blew Up the Kid,” an experiment goes wrong, causing a toddler to grow to an enormous size. But it’s not just the cinema. In contemporary art, oversized installations make the experience more engaging and fun for people.

Oh, this brings back childhood memories. 😍 When I was 10-14 years old I took care of horses with other girls. I'm petite (like , 5' back then, 5'1" now).

A Bad Dog Owner Dumped This Wolfdog At A K**l Shelter When He Got Too Big And Too Much To Handle
Luckily a sanctuary took him, instead and saved his life! His DNA testing came back as 87.5 % Gray Wolf, 8.6 % Siberian Husky, and 3.9 % German Shepherd
You really need to know what you are doing if you want to have one of these huge breeds. Some animals aren't for anyone.
My guess is the people who dumped it thought it was a nice dorgie, then a houseguest pointed out what it really was and scared the c**p out of the owners who envisioned their kids being eaten some day. I don’t necessarily attribute bad intentions to ‘em; coulda been simply a stupid error, and I DO think stupid people did the right thing giving it up. The kill shelter? I’m hoping that’s all they had available to ‘em, ‘cause if they meant for that animal to be killed … For that, I think they’re 🫏🕳️s and karma will get ‘em.

Unlike these unique creations, some “absolute units” don’t last forever. The Guinness World Record for the largest pizza is held by YouTube star Airrack, along with Pizza Hut. It took almost 4,948 pounds of pizza sauce and 8,800 pounds of cheese to create the 14,000-square-foot pepperoni pie. To put that into perspective, it’s roughly as big as 3.5 standard basketball courts.
David Graves, Pizza Hut’s CEO, told Reuters that the food was not wasted; as soon as the pizza was documented for Guinness, they cut 68,000 slices and donated it to local food banks.

Load More Replies...An Absolute Unit Of A Gray Percheron. This Is The Same Horse 5 Years Apart. They Transition From A Black Coat To A Gray Coat As They Grow Older
And unfortunately without tail, which causes spine problems, balance problems, limits communication, fending off flies from his delicate parts. Think "no hands and arms" to get an idea. The tail is part of the spine. Take a long stick, it can be bent easily. Shorten it by a third - it cannot be bent that far anymore. Cutting off tails came in fashion by nobiluty, who wanted a clear view of the genitals of their horses. They then invented the story of "tails getting caught in... = dangerous, so cut it off". Farmers just braided the tails, no big deal. Cutting the tails off for fashion is forbidden in several countries. If it is a medical necessity, the vet will preserve as much as posdible and the horse gets a substitute (sort of wig). Edit: I live in draft horse county and own two, caring for three horses. The only thing missing are the testicles of the guy. This is debatable, too, of course. However, when mixing horses this is connected with birth control and to prevent dominance fights.
All gray horses are born black. They get whiter as they get older. It will eventually lose the dapples as well.
As a note, some are born kind of a russet brown and transition to grey.
Load More Replies...Almost every white or light grey horse was born dark, unless it's an albino or something
Percherons do not all "transition to a gray coat" from a black coat as they get older. Some horses do go gray as they get older, but it's not "all" black horses nor is it "all" Percherons. Also, I'm not sure this is even the same horse - the hooves are different colors and the foreleg cannons look like they're differently shaped.
The vast majority of Percherons who are born black turn grey as they grow until they become completely white. Afterwards, Pernille perfectly pointed out that her hooves did not change color but were greased. This horse's name is "High Caliber Pay Per View", a Percheron born at Pennwood Stud in Toronto, Ohio in 2007, he would currently be in Colombia, at least if he is still alive.

Many parks and public places have extra-large versions of classic games like chess and jenga. People even use giant blow-up decorations during the holiday season to make their house stand out.

But having too much of something is not always a good idea. Digging into an unusually large box of cupcakes could give you a stomachache. Large-sized animals also face challenges like mobility issues and predator vulnerability as they are easily visible. They may also suffer joint issues and heart problems because of their size.

As for "Why Does It Look Like That" - muscle hypertrophy, double-muscle. Caused by a gene mutation affecting myostatin production.
Yes. This is Buff Cat. Here he is in a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C11iw9CT1-I

There was a life size model at a museum here in Sweden that was displayed so you could walk into it, but they closed it off after they caught a couple having sex in it...
My nephew with Autism loves all things science. He loves watching Kids Learning Tube on YT. They showed different size of hearts of animals, smallest to largest, and a human/heart for comparison. He got terrified of the whale's heart and it's size to the point he stopped watching TV for a good long while. He eventually got past it , but it took maybe a good year. He's pretty proud of himself he grew out of it.
This Avocado
Have an avo tree in mah back yard-grows Ryan's Avocados. They. Get. Huge. Should actually rename it to Dolly's avos but i aint complaining
Looks like they're the same, and one is in perspective. Not saying that this is what happened here, but now I need to try to recreate it like that!
Some avocado variety from Brazil can be this big. However the taste is poor, I tasted it.

Initially thought the same, then realised they're likely holding a regular sized avocado in the other hand for comparison

This is the world's largest quartz cluster, it was discovered in 1985 at the bottom of a 45 metre deep cave in the Otjua mine near Karibib in Namibia. It weighs 14,100 kg and took three years to excavate and remove.
"Look at this amazing natural feature we found! Let's rip it out and put it in a room". 😡
While I agree with you, absolutely, it does offer it protection from people who would chip it apart either on purpose or accidentally.

They need to qualify their claim to the largest yet found. I find it hard to believe the earth isn't hiding more mammoths. This is just one needle in a haystack that probably has some knitting needles in there.
The sign says it’s the biggest quartz cluster “on display.” So it is appropriately qualified.

My take away from this is that a lot of people just don't understand how big horses are.
