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

Nope. German Shepherd, sometimes referred to as Old German Shepherd. Not Belgian, those are smaller and not as bulky.

I have one that did the exact same thing. Unbeknownst to us, we brought home a mix puppy of 18 lbs and it turned out to be Plott Hound/Great Dane mix that turned into 106 lbs. It's cool, though. There's just more of her to love than we expected..

The pup feet and head are a dead giveaway, lol. It's two of the three things I look for when looking at a bandog pup. Hips, feet, and head. Good hips, and big head and feet. I have a tendency to get big apex females because I prefer them for trail work. They range about a hundred feet, always keep me in sight, and are vigilant about the backtrail too. I really rely on those instincts, because I'm generally focused on the ground. Anyhow, your dog is huge and awesome, and appears to be a well established part of your life. Size does matter, lol. Especially when someone is at your door late at night. You got security...

My parents had two registered GSDs (Silver Running Bear, Bear for short and Spirit of the Grizzly, Griz for short). They bred the pair twice and I have the runt from the first litter whom is a black/silver female that weighs 61lbs. My neighbour has a male from the first little (Max) that is just shy of 100lbs. Those dogs can get BIG!

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.

It's absolutely disgusting that the female handball team were fined for wearing similar to the men's instead of their usual bikini style clothes. The committee in charge of those rules should be ashamed of themselves.

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.)

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.
