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!

That is really bad care from the shelter. Not only because the dog likely has a lot of tangles in the hair that can be a problem. But also because more people would adopt their dogs if they look cleaner

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 color changes you see underwater are really startling. Like my good fins are red, and you can see them turn blue and then black as you get further from the surface. Other colors look the same, but red colors are filtered out very quickly.

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.

I think that they really get brainwashed into believing that they are superior. Now it is also true that most people I saw with apple products don’t know anything about tech while most geeks I have met know that apple sells obsolete hardware and software for ridiculous prices.

I agree with 2 out of 3. The watch charges magnetically because a charging coil is a lot smaller/flatter than a type-C/lighting port. Keeps the watch nice and small. And it's convenient, if you ask me.

Apple has turned into a behemoth monster. When I got on the bandwagon in 1992 it was set it up your way, have it your way, what ever YOU need. Now I have 75 languages, and fonts for them, in my computer and I speak one. There is a ton of stuff on my computer that I will never use ( like drivers for every printer in existence.) If I try to delete any of it I get an error message: The system needs that. I wish I COULD go somewhere else...but the fortune has already been spent ....

? I mean
 come on. Also i don’t get the hysterical values that are pressed into the issue
 I don’t feel any need to define the planets population into Apple users and non Apple users, I hold the belief that you can be an ok person either way - I don’t quite get why this is so personal and sensitive to so many. I know lots of people who insists on dragging around androids and they’re awesome anyway. Android works for them, they suck beyond words for me - that’s where it ends, I feel.

All they respect is profits [like Facebk/WhatsApp/Instagram~~Facebk's a TRILLION $ company 'cuz they've 90 factcheckers IN THE WORLD (2 billion users) & don't care if they print lies. U.S. Congress: Delete §230(c)(2) & make these jerks accountable~~they're negatively affecting billions of lives. Other media companies pay not to deceive you~~& disseminate ONLY facts~~but make fewer profits. Who's got integrity? [Hint: Not the hideously ugly one.]

Nope apple is threatening to use only wireless charging, no port of any kind, that is wildly inefficient compared to cable charging. Even the data transfer would be by wireless besides that wireless charging is not standardized, so apple makes thei devices only charge with a apple charger.

I betting it's Apple! Well, that's probably about to come to an end. The European Union just passed a law requiring all tech companies to use the same universal USB-C chargers for their products. Needless to say, Apple is going ape s**t, and they're suing, but they'll lose that fight. They won't want to lose all the business they have in Europe over chargers. Way to go Europe!!
