Perspective changes everything. Take a particular object, put it in a specific time and place, and you see how it differs compared with an almost identical one. And since such an experiment would probably be slightly too elaborate for real life, Bored Panda has compiled this entertaining collection of the most surprising comparisons.
From comparing a chimpanzee fingertip with a human fingertip to photos of a man before and after walking across China for the whole year, these are side-by-side shots that show the weird and the wonderful side of the world we live in. So pull your chair closer, get your popcorn ready and tune in for the list that puts a spin on the good old “spot the difference” game.
After you’re done, make sure to check out our previous posts with incredible comparisons here, here, and here.

Perspective is a beautiful power to subject things to. Not only do we start seeing their beauty, as in the cases of these comparisons, it can also make us feel better. You see, while putting things in perspective, we are selecting a particular mode of seeing them, and it doesn't just feel like it, our brain actually does it.
Scientists say that changing perspective is a healthy exercise if we want to be empathetic, rational and compassionate. However, changing perspective is not merely about seeing things from the point of view of another. It's just as much about gaining perspective.

Before And After Being Told She's A Good Girl
Changing one’s perspective has to do with the point of view in which you stand. By stepping outside of our usual perspectives, it can become possible to frame arguments in ways that motivate others instead of leaving them feeling rejected, for example. In a similar way, you can start seeing things not as simply black or white, good or bad, but in a more complex light. This will get us out of the loop of negativity, prejudice and other negative emotions.

I Just Want A Bigger Pocket Please, Is That Too Much To Ask For? Sincerely, Women Everywhere
Ozacoter 4 years ago (edited)
I will never understand that. I use my pockets all the time (hands, phone, tissues). But that doesnt stop me from using my backpack. I dont want to be carrying also my wallet, keys, sunglasses and "who knows what s**t I have in there". I doubt that most women would stop using bags if they had pockets

That is why I only buy jeans for men. Most jeans here for women are tight and without pockets. I never saw the appeal
Christina Bauer 4 years ago
Even as a skinny teen I had wide, bony hips. Getting older and putting weight on both waist and hips hasn't improved things. For me, the appeal in women's jeans lies in having pants that can go over those hips without having a huge amount of fabric to belt in at the waist.

Funny. My wife said that to me once. Showed me the difference in pockets so Iâd understand. We hit the store, bought some fabric, and now I see new âbig kidâ pockets in to all her clothes. My mom taught me to see when I was a kid, and my wife LOVES her for it. Lol

My other half was shocked when I showed him why I didn't walk around with my phone in my pocket. 'That's stupid' was his response. Well, yes, but I have to buy and wear what's actually available, affordable, and fits me. So don't tell me it's stupid, tell the clothes industry.

Including myself, so many women ask for this. I'm surprised designers haven't done it yet. They've started putting pockets on dresses which is incredible, fix the jeans and pants
Jon S. 4 years ago
They have. There are several designers committed to having large pockets in their whole range. It only surprises me it isn't more mainstream and people (apparently) haven't swamped them in orders.

It's assumed that all women carry handbags, so there's no need for deep pockets. Now I see more men carrying satchels, or "manbags," and women with either clutches or phone cases that will hold credit cards. Time for the jeans-makers to catch up.

Hubby has cargo pants and shorts even cargo swimming shorts. You know those things! They are full of pockets! Also hubby: "I don't get why you keep your stuff in your jackets pocket, it grosses me how full they are". Well. Would anyone be able to suggest a place to place my belongings? Handbags are not an option. I used to wear backpack but was told by many it's not enough lady-like.

I've always carried a purse, and this was BEFORE they got creative with limiting women's pocket size. C'mon, really? In an age where cell phones are twice the size of these pockets? Must've been designed by a man --who should be sentenced to wear pants with mini frickin' pockets --forever. To those women who say they like the smaller pockets, I have an easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy solution: don't put stuff in them if you are worried about how they look. And let the rest of us use them the way we want to. Men don't get told they need a smaller pocket to have it lay more smoothly. OK. Don't get me started.....

Simple question and I'm being serious, why don't women just revolt and start buying men's jeans? Avoid the pink tax, they're more durable and they have pockets.

And then some women's 0ants have FAKE pockets! WHY DECIEVE US YOU CRUEL LIMB COVERINGS?!
lara 4 years ago
This was explained to me by a clothing collector. She said that men's pockets were deeper because they carried most of their "possessions" keys, money, billfolds, etc., in their pockets. Women's pockets were consider "decorative" and were generally used for handkerchiefs and things that women needed to get to "quickly" without going through their purse. Evidently, the idea that women would quit carrying purses and use only pockets has not reached the manufacturers of women's clothing. Women's clothing in European and Asian countries are totally different in some respects, in others, not so much.

The worst part is, that's an absurd loop, cause how can women think of carrying all their possessions in pockets when they're the size of a chocolate bar? Pretty sure many would like it if it was practically possible!đ

I assume if women's jeans are smaller, as are the pockets, their's should cost substantially less. Yes/no? With smaller pockets, the industry must assume we need less room for our money. (face slap)

It ruins the "lines" when things are in your pockets. So tiny/no pockets means no bulges.

Yes please manufacturers. I think they have a deal with purse and handbag companies that ensures we have to buy a bag or purse to carry our cash and phones with us. I don't always want to carry a handbag or purse and the pockets certainly aren't deep enough to trust putting your bank card in without losing it. Come on manufacturers. Give women proper pockets.

I've never had a problem with small pockets in my jeans. My keys, cards, etc., fit in front or back pockets. I have noticed that the higher the price tag the smaller the pocket... But I've never worried about trying to impress strangers.
