Everything is relative. For example, Shaq might not look tall when he's on camera next to other basketball players and Simone Biles might not seem short when you see her competing against other gymnasts but put them near each other and you'll instantly get an idea of their size.
So to broaden your understanding of the world, we at Bored Panda put together a new list of interesting comparison pictures from all sorts of different areas, including nature, technology, and social issues. It's a series we've been working on for a while too; if you like scrolling through these images, fire up our earlier publications here, here, and here. Maybe you missed some!

Just Retired After 42 Years As An Obstetrical Nurse, At The Same Hospital. Here I Am At The Start (1979) And End Of My Career
You barely look 42, let alone like you've been working for 42 years, that's some good genes!
42 years? I've aged that much being a nurse this past year alone. Wow. Congrats.
That was my thought! LOL Hopefully since she worked In obstetrics, she was usually surrounded by joy and happiness as opposed to tragedy and sickness. It was always the worst when they called a code for the maternity ward. I hope she's going to have a lovely retirement.

thank you for your devotion to the human race. May the best day of your past be the worst of day of your future (to paraphrase a saying I heard). Enjoy a well earned retirement.

You never agreed! I am impressed! THAT'S how you do it, ladies and gentlemen. 😁👏
You have no stress in face, smile, shoulders...how did you do it? Wonderful!
No difference except for the machine. You still look the same, nice smile.
I started my career in 1976. I look at the picture of the start of your career and then at the one at the end. What changes we have seen! So many miraculous advances that we never dreamed of back then. The learning curve we have experienced is huge. Every nurse has their niche. My first night working in CCU during my nurse internship, I KNEW this is what I wanted to do. It came to me as naturally as breathing. I have always marveled at nurses who work in obstetrics. I'd be scared to death all the time. I'll bet it came as naturally to you as breathing. Thank you for your dedication and love of your "niche". Happy retirement!

For anyone considering this, do a little research before you decide where to donate. Some of the "charities" actually charge really high prices for the people who need them. My family discovered this when my sister developed alopecia universalis that 9 years old.

The plant on the right gets substantially more sunlight than the plant on the left with the shadow of the shed but sure. (That being said, research does show that the gentle vibrations of normal, calm voices can stimulate plant growth. Google it.)

Women’s Clothing Sizes Are Nonsense. Both Size 32
It is ridiculous and it’s really harmful for your self stem. The other day I saw a L T-shirt that was 1Cm wider than a xxs. Two trousers of the same size, one fit perfectly and the other didn’t pass my tights. I bought in the same store a xxL and a L that were the same size (of a normal L). I felt horrible when I needed a xxL until I measured it with the other shirt I got. It’s horrible for the self steam.

So much modern housing is built on ancient flood planes with zero planning during construction for bad weather. England is terrible for it, plus they stopped dredging the rivers on the say so of environmental nut-jobs which really helped flood everywhere

A lot of these have appeared on BP previously, despite the claim in the title.
They recycle quite often. I guess Reddit was a bust this week

Very much enjoyed this feed. Thanks for sharing. A lot of interesting things to see and learned a lot about things.
The 'hand for scale' thing was funny with the tiny banana but soon became very much overdone.
Your right. As soon as everyone got hands...it got out of hand
