We understand new things by putting them against what we already know—the differences and similarities that emerge help us grasp details in ways that abstract definitions often can't.
So for this list, we've compiled a set of funny, bizarre, and even unsettling comparisons. From everyday objects to cool inventions and rare natural phenomena, each side-by-side photo offers a fresh way to look at the world around us.
There are so many curiosities out there, we just have to open our eyes!

Load More Replies...I always got a lot of opinion from older gents on how my white GSD mix shouldn't get dirty and why I let her play in the dirt. I on the other hand loved that I saw every piece of dirt on her before she jumped on the couch. no chance in hell you overlooked a speck of dirt
Bald Eagle Size vs. Grey Wolf, Caught On Trail Cam
I thought I knew the eagles were big but now I know how really BIG they are
Thing is that is mostly wings and they are very light. Once the wolf gets a good bite, it's goodbye, eagley
Load More Replies...Think that's a brush wolf. (Coyote) They're about 30 to 60 pounds.
I agree. The snout is too long and slender. Eagles are big but grey wolves are huge. A wolf would most likely have a pack mate as well.
Load More Replies...The scientific term for analyzing new ideas by placing them beside something familiar is analogical thinking.
Psychologist Dedre Gentner's structure-mapping research shows analogies work because people map relational patterns between a known "base" and an unknown "target," not merely surface similarities. That relational mapping is what lets a learner transfer understanding from one domain to another.
Shirts Before And After Losing 400 Lbs
Congrats to this person, but I have to admit... It took me way to long to find the bigger shirt...
What bigger shirt are you talking about? (it's a camouflage shirt after all)

A Soldier's Face After 4 Years Of War, 1941- 1945
It's the same every time I see a picture of Volodymyr Zelenskyy.That dude aged about 15 years since the start of the war in 2022.
He has more of my respect than Any other leader of a nation, including the U.S.
Load More Replies...I have before and after photos of a friend from Vietnam that shows the same strain/ageing. The hell the service men that go to war can never be understood by civilians. Just 1 reason they should be treated better.
Gentner herself often uses the classic analogy of flowing water compared to electrical circuits.
In the "base" domain of water flow, water moves through pipes under pressure from water towers or elevation. In the "target" domain of electricity, electrical current flows through wires driven by voltage (electrical pressure).
Despite the differences—pipes vs. wires, water vs. electrons—the relational structure is the same, and it's that shared relational schema that makes the analogy meaningful.

Before And After: Graffiti Commissioned By Local Government In Pachuca, Mexico
I wonder how many of them didn't want their houses painted in weird colours my the government.
The white paint would have been doing a lot of work in keeping their houses cool by reflecting away the sun's rays. Now their houses will be a lot warmer inside.
Load More Replies...the residents, if allowed to vote, might have opted for a water and sewer upgrade.
This happens every time I try to make an omelet and wind up with scrambled eggs instead.
Not crazy about the before or the after. Maybe they could just let the residents paint their houses the color they want.

Two Different Currents Meeting Off The Coast Of Vancouver, British Columbia
Education researchers have put this into practice. Studies and systematic reviews of classroom work find that analogies, especially when visual or explicitly mapped out, help learners anchor abstract scientific concepts in everyday experience.
Teachers commonly use images, textual cues, and audiovisual aids to compare known and unknown domains, and these strategies are associated with improved comprehension when used methodically.
These Are X-Rays Taken Before And After The Surgery
It has been 4 years to the day since I had my scoliosis surgery. The surgery itself took 14 hours. Surgeons drilled metal straightening bars into my spine.
This has been posted five years ago on a totally different platform by an account that has been deleted since. There is no "you". Now downvote me into oblivion for stating the obvious, idc. 🤷♀️
Load More Replies...This is how my mom's x-rays look. She even got 2 inches taller. For her it was 2 surgeries on consecutive days. The recovery sucked, but she's back to swimming, golfing, and doing Zumba. She's 78 now. 😊
I have a partial scoliosis and have enough issues from that. This must have been awful.
My mom has spinal fusion like that as well as an artificial hip. She just lets them know and they use a hand held scanner on her instead of her going through the machine.
Load More Replies...I had a mild case of scoliosis where my rib cage was tilted to the right a few degrees. This lowered my right should two inches. The constant effort to hold my head up straight was causing constant neck muscle spasms. Rolfing deep tissue body work straightened my posture. I went through the ten session series and it was like a religious transformation of my whole body. No surgery was required. It is the tissue, fascia and muscle that pull the spine out of alignment. You have to free all that shortened stuck tissue to change the spine's curve. Deep tissue bodywork can achieve that, but it is not a comfortable process.
I've been through rolfing and my hat's off to you for sticking it through to the end. I'm glad it worked out so well for you…
Load More Replies...Genuine question... How much does this affect their height after surgery? I know I could google it but I prefer interacting with my fellow BPs...
My mom had a similar curve and she got 2 inches taller after surgery.
Load More Replies...Concrete Before And After Stamping It For A Stone Tile Look
My uncle was a mason and I got to help build a few walls when I was a kid. It was really fun. We did this for a walk way at my grandparents house. We stamped it to kind of look like red bricks. We also used the multi color bricks to build an outdoor grill. I should have gone into masonry but choose the super lucrative field of the arts /s.
I've seen this sort of stamping in person. It's amazing what they can do to make concrete beautiful!!!
I need to do this in our backyard. It looks like the dark side of the moon and attracts coyotes.

The Blinds Show The Difference In Prescription Of My Eyes
I tried it, but without my glasses on, I couldn't see it, lol.
Load More Replies...Oooh, mine are very similar. One of my trivial amusements has been to let others try my glasses on. Heh heh heh.
both of my lenses look like what you see on the right here. There are 3 different lenses in one lens. And the lines are very much visible. The center lens is for viewing most everything, top lens has a focal pint of about 20 inches, bottom lens is for close up. Very much like a tri-focal but arranged differently. What would not be visible to you are the double prisms that are in each lens. This also means my glasses are GLASS, My script isn't available in polycarb. Takes anywhere from 1 - 3 months to get a pair of lenses.
Òf all the things you could have chosen to demonstrate this, you chose something with a name closely linked to the topic of eyesight, yet having no connection!
The Size Of Bears Against Average Human Height
Polar bears will hunt people, often for many miles. And a building doesn't always guarantee safety, they will break in.
Someone once told me if you go on a polar bear hunt, you don't need to bring any bait. YOU are the bait.
Load More Replies...Another reason why I'd prefer a trip to Antarctica over one to the North pole: I like penguins better.
Seriously, that's really big for something that would want to eat us.
Load More Replies...They say about bears... black, fight back. Brown, lay down and white, good night
Back in the 70s my Mom dated a guy who was a big game hunter. He had an eleven foot polar bear (I almost wet my pants walking into the "trophy" room). He had a cheetah, a wild boar, zebra and tiger skins, ivory tusks, etc. Looking back on the level of carnage he was so proud of turns my stomach.

The Size Difference Between Me And My Opposing Goalie The Other Night. I’m 5’3 W/O Skates And He’s 6’7 W/O Skates
There's a joke in the first Red Dwarf book that, in the age of genetic engineering, Scotland fielded a football goalie who was just a rectangle of skin 8 yards wide by 8 feet tall, but still somehow failed to qualify for the world cup.
Load More Replies...Genuine question though; how is this allowed?? Wouldn't it give this mighty, MIGHTY duck's team a great advantage?
I never understood why I was picked as a goalie at school. I weighed 110lbs/48 Kg and I'm 5ft 3in/160cm tall
My Notes Before And After Being Prescribed Adderall
ADHD medication changes your life to a degree hard to describe to someone who hasn't live it.
This looks like a class called "advanced calculus." And now I have an idea why I did so poorly in math.
I have been able to trace ADHD thru several members of my family. It is definitely genetic!! Some of us have depression as well. I'm so glad we have ways to help those that suffer now.
I cannot read my scribble. It looks like a chicken trotted all over the paper.
Ancient vs. Modern
I'll take the one with electricity, windows, insulation, running water and plumbing.
Load More Replies...New one. It has all of the stuff we need (I did not say want) to live today. I'm talking septic systems, electricity, plumbing, insulation, glass windows, nice sized rooms. The castle I will admire and dream about knights in shining armour, then I'll go home to my modern house.
I'd like all the modern conveniences inside, but looking ancient on the outside.
Load More Replies...New one should continue the brown facade all the way around to look less harsh
I will take the modern. Especially during Summer and Winter.
LED Street Lamp vs. Traditional Street Lamp
The biggest difference is that the LED lighting is focussed on the ground - the traditional scatters light everywhere.
Load More Replies...here they refitted modern lamps with reddish lights for the wildlife and partly added motion sensors. I love it. Sometimes I use a torch additionally, when I walk the park at night, but mostly for the poop search
I'm so torn on this issue. The LED lights provide much needed security and safety. But what artificial lighting is doing to the wildlife is abominable. Light the paths, but not the buildings closed for the evening would be a good start.
LEDs whipenout my night vision in a way that traditional lights don't, so I can see there, but it's minutes from leaving the LED path that I am safe to walk elsewhere. Traditional lights my eyes adjust in seconds.
I notice the LEDs (on left?) are downlights, that is they are directed to shine down. The traditional light are much more invasive with their lighting: they shine out, down, scattering light all over. I LOVE down lights--I like a dark sky at night.
There are cities in the US where LED street lamps are banned. Specifically those in a close proximity to a observatory. This is because they have filters can remove the ambient glow of the "traditional" (generally sodium) street lamps, and can't do the same for LED lamps.
Smoker vs. Non Smoker
Smoker who never cleans their windows. My grandpa smoked inside, but always when we visited, he cleaned everything and aired for days (and of course smoked at balcony). There was never visible signs of smoking in his apartment, and the smell wasn't really overpowering after all the effort. Smoking inside (or smoking anyway) is not a good thing, but it is possibly to keep the effects kinda in control and not make it obvious it's a smoker's apartment.
I've smoked 43 years, god knows I have tried to quit. Now I have a totally unrelated and incurable cancer. My lungs are ...functioning. download-6...b3fa4.jpeg
These days some cancers can be maintained at a certain stage and not get worse. I hope that is the case for you.❤️
Load More Replies...It could be that but… it could also be UV from the sun reacting with the type of plastic used for the blinds (photooxidation). UV light can yellow certain plastics. My upstairs blinds are different than the rest of the house and as a result that one set is no longer white but has yellowed similar to these.
EWWWW.....we had nicotine stained light switches in the home we bought some years ago....even when I put wallpaper on the walls....the moisture brought out that sickening smell....disgusting
The Before And After Of My Jaw Surgery
It seems like moving backwards the jaw affected the nose by having it move slightly upwards. I don't think she had is modified on purpose.
Load More Replies...Ears apparently grow as you get older so could be due to that?
Load More Replies...This is 1) AI, 2) two different people or 3) after complete facial surgery. Even the brow slope is different.
THIS is worthy of surgery, not that silly c**p plastic surgery that makes them look so un-natural.
Nose is visibly shorter. It looks to me that she had her jaw and nose changed.
Piece Of Paper Cut With Scissors vs. Torn Piece Of Paper Under A Microscope
My Dog Pees On This One Spot Everyday And Now The Grass Looks Different
Bob Flowerdew used to call it Personally Initiated Soil Stimulator. Though he only did it on the compost heap.
For those citing nitrogen in the dog's urine as the reason for this atypical grass growth, I kind of doubt it. There is nitrogen in the uria in a dog's urine but the nitrogen is of such high concentration that it is more likely to scorch the grass than help it grow. There are also acids and salts in the urine that can disrupt the osmotic process of the soil making it hard for the grass roots to absorb water.

Chrissy Newbury is correct. You can tell by the open lay of the pelvic bones that these are both female.
Load More Replies...Writing With Non-Dominant Hand Over A Week
Even my right hand looks like I wrote with my left foot!
Load More Replies...I've had 2 surgeries on my right thumb, during the recovery process I had to use my left hand all the time.
I had a severely broken right wrist and learned to write rather well left-handed - until the day the cast came off. My brain apparently thought my right hand was back. It was not. It took a few weeks of therapy before I could write at all.
Load More Replies...I taught myself to write using my left hand, just in case my usual, more dominant hand, spontaneously falls off or something... 👍🙂
An older word for 'non-dominant hand ' is ''offhand'. We still use the word in 'an offhand remark'.
I wonder how much writing that is per day? I occasionally write with my left hand (today, when I was carrying a baby, for example) but it's still miles worse than my right.
Én akkor írtam nem domináns kézzel is,amikor a fiam pici volt. Nem domináns lábat is ugyanúgy használtam,kénytelen voltam és sikerült.
I'm ambidextrous. I cannot use tools of any kind with the right hand.
Is that the evolution after one week?? Meanwhile my hand writing (dominant hand) looks like s**t after a lifetime worth of writing

Load More Replies...This Company Sent Me A Sample Of Their Silk To Burn So I Can Test Authenticity
As I learned from my mom when I learned to sew: synthetics melt, natural fabrics burn and produce ash.
Wildland fire fighters must only wear base layers made of natural fibers for this reason. Synthetic fibers are essentially plastic and will melt to their bodies if they were to get burned over (briefly engulfed in flames). If they are able to escape death in this situation, their burns are less severe than if wearing synthetic undergarments. Similarly, their footwear is modified to resist the soles melting away from the upper, some fire boot makers even join the rubber sole onto the boot with screws instead of using adhesive alone.
Load More Replies...Same with wool carpet versus nylon carpet. I would never have nylon carpet.
So the place that sold me silk, told me how it is supposed burn? Could easily switch the real and fake words on the picture and sell fake silk. How can I trust BeeVines!
Synthetics are made from petroleum, so it melts like plastic.
Load More Replies...Would they also share Before and After photos of the Silk Moth larvae k****d to produce silk?
I guess 'Bovine' is different; you can put parts of that on the Barbecue, but some people do burn that food.
silk production is as cruel as fur..please stay away from authentic silk fabrics
how is it cruel pray tell? do they keep the silk worms trapped in their cocoons? I'm genuinely curious.
Load More Replies...This Trail Before And After Logging
Before you fall for the rage bait....Context is important. First, this is from a 9 year old Reddit post. Second, it's a "working forest". They only cut down a small section at a time, and plant 5 trees for every 1 they cut down.
Talking about the 5/1 trees doesn't mention all the flora and fauna that is being destroyed at the same time.
Load More Replies...This is fine. That's primarily Norway spruce, which will grow 2-3 feet each year. Removing the undergrowth is also a good thing, though it seems counter intuitive. To put it simply, the wildfires that happen on a regular basis in California? They're made worse by the fact the state doesn't allow regular programs to remove undergrowth, which if allowed to accumulate too far, will create fire hazards. So, removing all the plant undergrowth helps remove the chance of wildfire. It also allows native plants grow by removing prominent invasive species, and the tree canopy.
Yes! They are called "ladder fuels", which is actually a pathway for the flames of what might otherwise be an easily manageable grass fire to climb up to the canopy of trees. If trees are densely grown together, this can result in something called a "sustained crown run" which causes devastating destruction and is much harder to put out. Trees with thick bark are actually able to withstand low-intensity fires (grass fires), but once the flames reach the top of the tree it is rare foe the tree to survive. Once a large swath of well-established trees have burned until death, roads then start to wash out as the dead roots let go of the burnt earth. A canopy fire will also carry the flames right to the roof of homes. Low intensity grass fires are easily manageable and even beneficial. Once ladder fuels take the flames to the canopies, the fire can become so intensely hot that the fire can start to create its own weather ("fire whirls", give them a Google, they're terrifying)
Load More Replies...this was actually phyisically painful to see.....OMG! who let this happen.....and why?
Crew Dragon Capsule Before And After Flight To Space Station
This looks a lot different than the Bezos capsule did on re-entry. Weird how his capsule stayed so clean.... 🤔
Bit of a difference between de-orbiting from 400 kilometers and floating down on a parachute from 100 kilometers. One of them is slowing down from 17,000 mph. The other one reaches a maximum of 2,000 mph, and never has a any heat build up.

Pineapple Grown In My Balcony vs. Pineapple From The Supermarket
That's because the homegrown one looks like it's actually ripe. The storebought is so green! (And before someone asks, no, pineapple doesn't ripen after it's picked.)
Load More Replies...Pineapples are indigenous to Jamaica and the one from the balcony looks like the original pineapple we still grow in Jamaica. I don't know how they get the supermarket variety so big. The little ones are super sweet.
Homegrown smaller pineapples are apparently a lot sweeter than the ones you get in supermarkets 🙂 A friend used to have them grow where she lived
The small one is ripe and the big one is not. More gold coloring on the skin = riper = sweeter

Oregon - The Gorge Before And After A Teenager Lit Fireworks
You are looking south/southeast over the Columbia River gorge. The reason there are trees obscuring the view at the bottom is due to strict regulations on keeping the area green and pristine. Lots of contention, but they seek to protect its legacy from houses taking over.
A teenager was on a trail with some of his friends when he thought it would be a good idea to light a firework and drop it onto the trees below. A woman who witnessed him do this said, "Do you know what you just did? You just started a forest fire!" She immediately turned back to report what happened. The teen and his friends tried to leave quickly, but before they could all load up and take off, the woman identified him, and authorities stopped them. Hikers were stranded overnight on the upper trails, trails and habitat were destroyed, and historical structures were damaged and destroyed. The punishment for the teen responsible for the Eagle Creek Fire included a $36.6 million restitution order, 1,920 hours of community service, and five years of probation. The restitution was meant to cover the extensive damages and was to be paid over time, with the possibility of forgiveness after 10 years if he completed probation and complied with the payment plan.
He's d**n lucky no one died, otherwise they could and should have gotten a conviction of manslaughter. No sympathy for malicious stupidity.
Load More Replies...For most of its length, the Columbia River is the border between the state of Oregon (pictured) and Washington state (the tiny portion in the bottom left is Washington). The fire jumped the river during the worst of it. It was devastating to watch. Some excellent hiking trails along that area including around Multnomah Falls.
People are so selfish. So many wildfires set because people they're the exceptiont the rule that protects us all.
I'm watching Border Force on TV. Someone was found with fireworks in his luggage, packed with cigarette lighters. An offence under the Air Navigation Act. It came up on the TV just as I reached this photo on here.
For the US campers, you know that car that always rolls in late at night? "Oh, I hate setting up a tent in the dark" you sigh happily as you snuggle in? That's not a late arrival, they're recording license plates. I spent an afternoon with wildland fire investigators on a huge fire scene. Fire in motion always burns up to the base of a tree, pole, rock, whatever, on the windward side and leaves a tiny green unburned triangle on the opposite side of the pole. They just follow all those tiny arrows backwards until they get to the campfire ring when it started. Then they call in the cops and lawyers. It was comically low tech.
The Difference Between Someone 5'2 And 6'2 Taking Our Picture
Just like me and my husband. Not only is he a great guy, but he's awfully handy reaching things for me! I take care of most things closer to the floor.
My wife is 5'2 and I'm 6'1, but she has good posture and I have really bad posture so the difference looks like it's more like 7 in rather than 11.
When I Asked For Salt For My Steak, The Server Brought Out Four Different Kinds For Me To Chose From
European health studies on salt consumption indicate salt consumption is not the boogeyman it has been made out to be. Apparently there are salt sensitive people who get high blood pressure and have to eliminate it from their diet. But the studies also found that people who fanatically avoid all salt pass away at a younger age than salt consumers. Otherwise, salt is probably OK to eat in moderation, and if you have a very physical job and sweat a lot, you actually need to consume salt or you can get muscle cramps.
Load More Replies...I have different types of salt at home but for the life of me I can't taste a difference
That's how I feel about eggs. People always claim fresh ones from their farm taste better than the ones at the grocery store or that the color of the yolk makes a difference. I've tried many a egg from each and every place, they all taste the same to me.

Cool, but things in the background have slightly changed colour too (the brown bag handles are slightly more red in the bottom right picture than bottom left, the floor is more orange in the bottom right than top right), so how much of it is real and how much is the camera just changing the colour slightly?

clearest difference is index finger in top right is no long grey blue in the bottom pics. more differences on the back of the hand
Before And After Hip Replacement Surgery
Had a hip replacement and I can tell you the pin is the least of it. The surgeon basically cuts through most of your glute muscles to get to the joint. Then I think they dislocate the joint to be able to saw off the end of the femur and jam that spike in there. I refuse to watch a video of the surgery - I'll throw up.... The first couple of weeks my leg felt like someone had twisted it all around like a Barbie doll leg. It took almost a year before I could do a single feeble lunge Hip-replac...1d2320.jpg
My Dr went through the front, I felt completely healed and had no restrictions within months.
Load More Replies...What isn't visible in the photo is how d**n deep that pin goes into your bone and how long it is. My mom had hip replacenent surgery and even if it went well, it was really slow and painful healing. After seeing the photo where the pin reached almost down to the knee, it's no wonder why it's so painful ans slow-healing.
Both hips replaced. A little uncomfortable for the first 2 weeks, pain meds took care of most of that. A couple of common sense restrictions, like don’t cross your legs, the first few months. I am very glad I had both done. I’m totally back to normal now, no pain, no restrictions. I’m commenting so that people know it’s not that bad. I’ve read that some people didn’t have the same results I did. I would check out all your orthopedic surgeons to find who’s the best available.
Did they do both of your hips at same time ? I think that’s a great idea, but for some reason they want to do mine separately. Both hips are as bad as each other so not sure why they are choosing separate operations ?? Just wondering also which country are you from ?? I’m from Australia wonder if that makes a difference 😊

The Difference In My Legs After Having My Achilles’ Tendon Severed
Hiroshima Before And After The A-Bomb. 78 Years Ago Today On August 6, 1945
Tragic. Not saying Japan was blameless (far from) but this is just awful to see.
Tragic all around. All those poor people living there; turned into dust . They were just trying to live their lives and had nothing to do with the actual fighting.
Men get pissed off with each other and take it out on the innocent. And it seems they haven’t learned.
As long as men are in power, there will always be wars.
Load More Replies...Dropping these bombs was the most humane thing Truman could have done. Yes, it was terrible for the women and children who were burned, but it ended the war immediately and caused the Japanese to capitulate. Millions of soldier's lives were saved as a result of this action. I know that Truman must have felt great anguish in making this decision.
I think there's line between war and mass murder committed by psychopaths.
This is a stupid question but how are the rivers intact? They barely changed at all. You'd think they'd be obliterated. I guess I don't know much about how bombs work...
The bomb was detonated as an air burst, just under 2000 feet altitude. The blast/shock wave was devastating to humans and most buildings, but it did not affect the hardscape, save for burns. Had the bomb detonated on the surface, there would have been a crater, and some damage might have been done to the immediate river banks, but not enough to rearrange the contours much. While the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were very powerful, check the rivers in Europe, like the Thames and Rhine. Many bombs dropped there, river courses never changed.
Load More Replies...Our Chicken Eggs Before And After Free Ranging
Darker yolks come from diet, not free ranging, though free ranging may offer the opportunity for wider variety of foods for the hens to nibble on, thus picking up the extra vitamins and nutrients required for a dark yolk. However, if hens have access to certain foods (lots of bugs, leafy greens, etc...) even in a fenced area without free range access, the yolks will also be this dark orange color. Source- ive had a bunch of chickens for a bunch of years and in the winter when they're all cooped up (hens hate their feet touching snow) i give them certain foods to produce produce eggs with yolks of this color.
That’s you. And your chickens. I’ve had chickens, didn’t feel the need to comment. Just sayin. You don’t always have to know everything

This Half Tore Down Apartment Building Exposed The Different Color Apartments
Try that here and I'll bet all you see is different shades of white. The minimalist thing is so overrated.
It might have less to do with "minimalist" aesthetic and more to do with landlords not letting you paint rented apartmets.

60 Year Old 2x4 vs. New
It probably wont... On the other hand, the old one has 28 visible annual rings, the old one has 5. So no one had to cut old trees to produce it, which is nice.
Load More Replies...It's about the circles in the tree trunk! For each year, a different circle! So it's just sad how logging just destroys forrests even before they grow...
You have it wrong. This is a good thing. The 60-year-old one is a slow growing that if cut down for the wood we need wouldn't be able to be replaced for something like 28 years. Whereas the newer one is a species can grow to the same size in 5 years, and most likely was even grown on a tree farm for this very purpose.

Economy Meal Comparison Traveling From Japan (Ana vs. United)
The united one looks like a school lunch. This must be the EX version, it has two meats.
I had the opposite (almost) experience on my one overseas trip, though maybe because I need gluten free and lactose free. I flew with United on the way there and got a lasagne and a ton of packaged snacks (though quantity was partly because a friend's dad was the one stocking the flight and gave me heaps as I boarded). Flew home with Virgin and got a very dry bit of chicken (no sauce or anything) and some steamed veggies.

Before And After Hurricane Laura In Lake Charles, Louisiana
"The tower was built with "hurricane-proof" glass, but in 2005 it sustained heavy damage to its atrium and several upper floors during Hurricane Rita, which made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane. In 2007, the facility underwent major repairs and security upgrades such as the addition of ballistic protection to the exterior glass. The reconstruction of the lower floors and the renovations of the atrium, tower facade, and major tenant spaces were designed and project-managed by Vincent-Shows Architects of Sulphur. The tower was significantly damaged again in August 2020 by Category 4 Hurricane Laura. The building lost the majority of its windows, and the south-facing side was destroyed. In October 2020, Hurricane Delta further damaged the boarded-up building. The tower was left vacant and in 2023, the city gave Hertz Investment Group, who had acquired the building in June 2007, a deadline of November 2024 to either repair or demolish it." From Wiki

You would get a more accurate test if you didn't put them next to eachother. Unless this is just for a picture.
Disagree. By putting them next to each other you get an idea of preference rather than proximity.

Unfortunately, no earbuds for me. Silicone ones are slipping out, the hard shell ones are painful. So, either headphones, or "open earbuds". Bone conduction are worse than open ones.
You have to get used to bone conduction, it takes time and earplugs, the rest i have earplugs that din't stick inside my ear.
