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!

YES! Waaaay back, Babies with a cleft lip would most likely die because they were not able to nurse properly

Just £150 can perform cleft lip surgery for a child in the third world and give them a normal life. Maybe if people thought of this before buying a puppy that will need surgery costing thousand of pounds just to be able to breathe properly...

On the one hand, I completely agree. On the other, buying a child from the third world is not allowed, so a puppy it will be. /jk, jk!

Had to look that one up because I didn't know about it. Looks like she apologized and donated some money so at least something good came out of it. Maybe the people who watch her will take her up on her encouragement to support people born with cleft palate and cleft lip. I can't imagine why in this day and age anybody thinks it's okay to make comments like that in the first place.

There is a charity that does this for people who can't afford to pay for the surgery. It's called Little Baby Face Foundation... I urge everyone to check it out and possibly help the out with a donation...it is tax deductible. " God Send" is the words of the day!

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.

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.
