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!

After Growing My Hair Out For Nearly 3 Years, I Finally Decided To Cut And Donate It This Month
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.
Yes! Locks of Love is the worst for this. Wigs for Kids is a good one, they never charge for the wigs they make.

I did that this year, too. Hadn't cut my hair to shoulder length in years (it was waist-length by then). Got a nice letter thanking me from the organization. I hope it made some little kid happy. I hate my hair this short, but I love thinking about how it may have helped someone.
Should get my son to do this, he has been growing his since high school so 7 yrs
Well, that’s if he wants to cut his hair. If he does tho, you should definitely suggest it!

You look amazing, but I randomly had a thought, what happens if the person you donated your hair for is a serial killer. You could end up in prison because your DNA is all over
My son has done this twice in his short 17 years on this planet. He grew his hair down to his waist then cut it short and donated it to Locks of Love. He did it because he had a friend in primary school who had alopecia and wore wigs.
Awesome! My sister had cancer—real hair wigs are sure a great comfort. Thank you!
Please be aware when donating hair, locks of love charges ALL recipients for their wigs! This includes sick kids! There are other charities to donate to who do not charge
I think you look better with the short hair. It also makes it look less like your hairline is receding. Not saying it is, but that the longer hair style made it look like it was.
Although it was a nice gesture, you look way better with short hair
I hope your hair went to one of the free hair for cancer patients institutions.
I bet this guy grew a beard because a waiter once asked “what would madam like this evening”. (Happened to someone in know)
As someone with long hair, I can personally say I hate the idea pf chopping it all off. But thank you for doing one of the things I can't bring myself to do :), I think it's fair to say that we all appreciate you! <3
Just so you know, no girl wants to date a guy with better hair than she has. -- I'm just sayin.
I've grown mine the same way for the same reason. Of course, having long hair is fun by iteself.
That will help someone so much. Plus, you are now one handsome dude!
Why is it dudes always have the great looking hair I want and can't grow?!
Absolutely awesome! I usually donate every time mine gets over 8 inches long. The hair is sanitized and made into wigs usually for cancer patients! Such a great way to give!
I know your intentions are kind. But I can never understand why people say this. The face is completely visible beforehand. And if people never grow out their long hair to donate, then all the children who need wigs would not get them. Again I know you want to compliment this person, and you're not saying anything mean, I'm just confused by this thought process.

3 years? Oh no, i have to wait another year to finally spend it? I had hope for 2, because i decided to let my hair grow until the pandemic is gone here and its take longer then expected. :D
Please don't donate your hair to Locks of Love - they charge the people for the wigs made out of donated hair. Donate it to Wigs for Kids, please, they're a much better organization.
Load More Replies... Men look better with short hair. Wish long-haired men knew this. Your contribution is so appreciated,
I like the look better with long hair, but I also think _neither_ of us get a say about how this person wears their hair. The point is that this person made a choice to help others, which is lovely.

Maybe a beard isn't for you, but his beard looks great on him, and it's neatly trimmed & groomed.

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.

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
