50 Interesting And Surprising Comparison Images That Help Make Sense Of The Things Around Us (New Pics)
Change is a completely natural—and unavoidable—part of life. In fact, it might be the only consistent thing we know. And yet, the world around us seems to change so imperceptibly at times that we might not notice what’s happening. That’s why photos are so powerful.
They can show how the passage of time has affected people, places, and objects. Others, meanwhile, directly compare similar things. Bored Panda has collected some of the most powerful comparison images from around the net to help provide you with a fresh new perspective on life. Odds are that you won’t see the world around us the same way after this. Check out the best photos below and upvote the ones that had the biggest impact.

A Friendâs Aunt Gifted Me Her Deceased Father's Car. âIf You Think You Can Get It Running, You Can Have Itâ. Before And After
Yeah not gonna lie that car fits her style too đđŒ
Load More Replies...The GMC Caballero, the almost identical Chevy El Camino and the Ford Ranchero were cute little cars with modest truck beds. But they all had one drawback: notice how the body is all one unit. When you needed to really utilize the bed to haul something, the equally modest suspension stressed-out and the doors wouldnât open (maybe thatâs why the ads only showed them carrying surfboards). When the truck tariff was lifted, the Japanese sent us practical little trucks with separate beds and sturdy rear suspension.
My crazy aunt from Florida also had an el Camino. She does not look like this, though. My aunt OR the car

Had My Facial Reconstruction Surgery 2 Months Ago. Was Called Megamind, Ken Griffey Jr, Jimmy Nuetron, Etc. 8 Weeks Later And Feeling A Lot More Confident In How I Look
I'm sorry op had to go through extensive painful surgery because some people think body shaming is sooo funny.
he had an accident and every bone in his face and skull was broken. that's why he looked like that. he needed surgery. but i guess the comments still hurt as much as the fractures. Op's reddit account https://www.reddit.com/user/StarksTwins/ where he posted about the accident and the tranformation afterwards
Load More Replies...Youâd expect that s**t from punk kids in school, pretty sad even into adulthood he got harassed by, assuming surely, other grown a*s adults; itâs concerning how many adults have the mentality of a child, like they never grew tf up. Smh
People have no filter when it comes to stuff like that. A child is going to be curious & start asking what happened. Adults, on the other hand, will just open their mouths & let the verbal diarrhea flow.
Load More Replies...I think you look amazing after but I didnât see anything wrong with the first one. Just a rounder face?

Load More Replies...Seasons change, but the essential things necessary to live a good life stay the same. Having an active social life and spending time with the people you love. Finding purpose in your job or hobbies. Spending time in nature and traveling to new and exciting places. Taking care of your body and mind with the help of exercise, good food, and meditation. Slowing down to enjoy the world around you. Being grateful for what you have. Reading books. Sleeping in. Making art. Writing bad stories. Laughing—loudly and often! And just plain having fun.
These are but a few ways to fill your days with joy and meaning. No matter what age you are, having the courage to connect with others and taking care of your body is what will help you make the most of new opportunities that come your way.
My Parents Have Been Married For 25 Years Today. Then And Now
my parents will be married 55 years this september, my father still has the look of this guy on the 2nd photo. that's real love
They make such a nice couple. My parents wouldâve been married 28 years if my dad was still alive.

My Dog Next To My Mom's Puppy, 8 Months Difference Between The Pictures
It is definitely a possibility that If the puppy wanted to, it would rule the household. But it looks like a Great Dane, which can be fairly easy going and subservient(for lack of a better term) to other dogs in the household. I used to have a Great Dane and my motherâs 15 year old,4 pound , 3 toothed rescue yorkie was the dominant dog in the house despite being the size of my dogâs head. Edit: the initial post stated that the dog is a Cane Corso , not a Great Dane. But their personality is generally quite similar to that of Great Danes.
Load More Replies...First picture:HAHA! Iâm bigger than you! Second picture: the f-@#?
Correct. The original post states that the dog is a blue cane corso.
Load More Replies...Love that the big puppers face doesn't change expressions from first baby pic to big dog pic.
In the now picture they look like they've had an argument. Definite chilly vibes.
As we grow older and our bodies change, it becomes more and more important to watch what we eat and how much we move and sleep. We can’t binge on fast food like we used to, nor can we party until the break of dawn every single weekend. Taking care of our bodies becomes more and more important as time goes by.
So it makes sense to build good habits while we’re still young (though it’s never too late to start!). Regular exercise and nutritious food are key. In short, no matter who you are or what you do, prioritize your health.

S**t this is Pennsylvania to a tee, especially in the mountains here (where I am for example)
I went hunting with an ex in the mountains of Tyrone Pennsylvania about 20 years ago.

It was awesome to take a bath at night seeing the city lights way far away twinkling down past the snowy mountain.

US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warns that loneliness is as dangerous to one’s health as smoking a whopping 15 cigarettes a day. Social isolation is a problem that is affecting as many as half of all Americans.
"I had neglected my family and my friends during that time, thinking that it was too hard to focus on work, and focus on family and friends. I was really suffering from the consequences of that, which were a profound sense of loneliness that followed me for weeks, which stretched into months,” Murthy told the BBC.

Loneliness is a devastating force. It increases the risk of premature death by almost 30% via conditions like diabetes, heart attacks, insomnia, and dementia. The BBC also reports that people who lack social connections also perform worse at work and academically. The consequences of social isolation are very far-reaching indeed.

The Size Difference Between A Wolf Track And My Dog's Paw
I am listening to a song in which singer yelled RUN same time I read this comment lol
Load More Replies...I always thought wolves are roughly the size of a husky or a German Shepherd. Then I saw a pic of a wolf next to a husky. I was so terribly wrong.
Depends. European wolves tend to be a lot smaller than their North American counterparts. Still bigger than huskies, but smaller than most mastiff breeds. Then there are subspecies like Ethiopian wolves that are so small that they get mistaken for jackals.
Load More Replies...Yes, wolves are HUGE, but they rarely, very rarely, attack humans. Wild wolves really don't like humans and usually smell us and take off long before we see them. And if you're lucky enough to visit the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center you'll be amazed by their calm and gentle interactions with their human caretakers. It is important for their survival that we stop demonizing them. They are a keystone species.
"Dont cry wolf" by Farley Mowat. Excellent book.

They Were Talking About My Local Animal Shelter On National TV, And They Focused On Alys, The Cat We Adopted 7 Months Ago. We Got To See Where She Came From. We Were In Awe
That, she is. Although I've never found a cat who wasn't. Maybe I am just a teensy bit biased...
Load More Replies...According to Murthy, “pro-connection public policies” can help tackle the issue on a societal level. Meanwhile, everyone has the power to help fight against social isolation on an individual level, too. For instance, you can spend 15 minutes with your loved ones each day, without the distractions of modern life—like constantly checking your phone.
Maine Coon vs. Siamese Size Comparison
Did Bored Panda censor Maine C**n because you spelt Maine wrong?
Load More Replies...I can attest this is true. I have a male Maine c**n cat and he is easily twice as long as his (not blood) brothers. Donât get me started on the size difference between him and my girl cats đ
I have two Siamese and I've never had cats like them before. In 13 years I've never been able to find a food they're enthusiastic about. I've tried every kind of food that's Fancy Feast or better. Even tried human food - roast beef, steak, shrimp, chicken and turkey - they wouldn't touch it. They eat so little it's hard to believe they survive. Vet said they're a healthy weight, that they're a naturally lean breed, but it still worries me. I'd like to see them each gain 2 pounds. I'm sure Maine Coons do not have that problem. I've never had any cats with that problem before.
Having a Maine C**n that is not even full grown yet, I can personally attest to their size! Our guy takes up half the width of a king size bed when heâs lying down.
Can corroborate this.... I've slept on the littlest sliver of my queen sized bed for 3 years now bc of my MC. I bought him his own twin bed. It's in the guest bedroom. I thought that MAYBE he'd sleep there.... that was a dumb thing to think. They are very affectionate, very vocal, babies. Don't even get me started about how he wants to be held at all times. It's like carrying a toddler on my hip all day., but I would t change that for the world.

A Doctor Chronicled The Progression Of Alzheimer's Disease In One Of His Patients By Collecting Her Signatures From Medical Forms Over Several Years

Same with my mum. Gradual progression and then suddenly went down hill fast. She's now in a care home near me where professional dementia nurses work full time.

I'm not sure how to take the last line of your post. I am sorry you have experienced so much pain. Please know that there are people you can talk to with experience in this.

This is heartbreakingly sad. Alzheimer's is such a cruel and brutal disease. I truly wish that there is a cure or medication that significantly slows its progression developed in the next several years.
Being grateful for what you have now can help you stay focused on the present and take advantage of the opportunities that come your way. You could, for instance, make a gratitude list where you note everything in your life that you’re thankful for: a roof above your head, good relations with your family, a loving partner, loyal friends, a happy pet, a stable job, etc. It doesn’t matter how small you think something is, it’s still worth mentioning it.
Being grateful helps us get through tough times because we recognize how fortunate we’ve been, despite the challenges we’ve had to face.

Just like gratitude, reminiscing about the good times we’ve had in the past can help inspire us to remain resilient despite any troubles coming our way.

Wow ive never seen a honey that clear, beautiful, I wonder how it tastes
In South Dakota there was a huge blizzard in the early fall one year, followed by a wetter than normal winter. Come spring there was an abundant bloom of sweet clover and other flowers. This led to some of the lightest but most beautiful honey I've ever come.across. Bee keepers that year I recall winning many awards for their pale honey.
Colors and flavors can differ dramatically depending on the pollen source and other sources. They can range from clear all the way through the rainbow to nearly black. In NY citizen bee keepers recently showed off honey that ranged through the rainbow, it was determined that the source of the colors came from several candy manufacturing companies and the cast off candies that were waiting to be disposed of.
I remember seeing this it was in France, or maybe it's happened in multiple places. https://futurism.com/day-honey-tuned-blue
Load More Replies...Honey varieties vary by season. I work for a food wholesaler. For example, we have the following flavors right now: Basswood, Prairie Flower, Dutch Clover, Savory Spring & Wildflower.
However, if nostalgia starts interfering with our everyday lives, as well as our ability to be present here and now, it might become another problem.
"If we end up comparing it to our experiences today and feeling like nothing is as good as it was, then this will inevitably affect our mood and our ability to do what we need to do. We can become stuck in our nostalgia; in which case it might be best to seek help from a counseling professional to help you process your past in order to enjoy your present,” Omijeh told us during an earlier interview.

Eye Test For "I Want To Speak With The Manager" Types
In the end she didn't need a title anymore. She was just "Jenny" and that was enough to send shivers down the spine of every Karen in the surrounding area. "I want to see the Manager" "I'll do you better, I'll go get Jenny" "... eh... no, that's okay, I'm fine, everything is fine..."
I believe you're thinking about it backwards. The bottom one was her first one as a regular employee. The top one says "licensee", which I think means she owns the restaurant. That's an amazing career progression! It helps to know that "manager" is a step below "1st assistant", which is a step below "restaurant manager".

Shark Brain vs. Dolphin Brain
Sharks have remained exactly what they were since primordial soup days - an eating machine. They are the janitors of the sea. Dolphins have evolved since those days and are more sociable and lovable.

left one shows 'shrinkflation'...new rolls are much narrower compared to older (right) rolls
In the USA this is jus a purchase choice. When I was a kid it was all the 'small' size. Then manufacturers started selling wider (and bigger around) rolls as a marketing thing. You can still purchase either. My Costco TP is on the wide side. The 'shrinkflation" with the costco bales of TP is they have slightly fewer rolls in them than they used to. == I don't know about other countries. In the Philippines where many do not use TP, if you find it the rolls are almost always small, sometimes smaller than the small ones in the US. Small people + often sketchy sewage systems + our culture uses water = why on earth would we want the giant sized TP?
So tired of the latest MEGA rolls that don't even fit in a normal size roller thingy.

He does do frequent sunscreen but sun damage is inevitable when you are outside 8 hours a day every day. He has to go to the dermatologist twice a year to get particularly egregious skin lasered off and a chemical peel on his face so any potential skin cancer doesnât develop or spread.
I wonder if his other arm is that tan? Or is this a "drive with your window down - one arm tan"?
8 Years Of Dental Work Correcting Missing Teeth Shown In The Comparison Of Start To Finish
I would love to have this done, even if it took 8 years đą Unfortunately, I am American and have no dental insurance. Seriously, again, take care of your teeth!
Having your teeth moved around is no "cheap experience", even if you can get it done for free. Braces aren't exactly a joy to wear and your teeth has a natural tendency to want to remain where they are and don't like being pulled around. Just put a finger on one of your front teeth and push it with about 1kg (2lbs) for about a minute, and you will get and idea about what it feels like. Now imagine extending that feeling, so it last all night every night.

During the communist era, we had health insurance for teeth and teeth prosthetics like all other health. We had not very good teeth care, it was told that if we pay, it will be better. We pay now. When I was a child, braces were a obligatory nuisance, now it is a luxury.

Wait⊠the US has Tim Hortons??? All this time I thought it was a Canadian thing
That's the thing. At some point between 1980 and 2000, sizes of cups in the US changed. Small became medium, medium large, etc.
It's no wonder we're such gluttons in the u.s. it's self-fulfilling at that rate.

64gb USB Drive vs. 70gb Worth Of CDs
How do we do it? Technological world changes by leaps and bounds.
Ironically a 1 TB flash drive is no bigger that the 64 GB one. However data transfer speeds haven't quite kept up. As I used to say when I was teaching, never underestimate the bandwitdh of a speeding lorry full of CDs.
1TB micro SD would show the real contrast of the actual size of the data storage rather than the plastic surround of a usbstick.
Load More Replies...Now, let's see the number of floppy disks it would require for the same amount of information.
I used to make this comparison between 5 1/4" floppy and 3.5", then later DVD, then bluray. and now the pic above is outdated given you can get a microSDXC of 1TB (and another source said 2 TB but not sure). So doing the math - picture that stack of CDs is roughly 28.5 times more of them and picture that USB stick is about the size of your fingernail.
They're already approaching the limit in the number of transistors that can fit on a microchip. We are close to having transistors that are as small as an atom, which we can't go smaller than, and even before that, sometime in this decade, it will take more energy to keep the microchip and transistors cool than the energy that is carried through the transistors. Atoms are anywhere from 0.1 nm to 0.5 nm, and in 2014 Intel released a .14 nm transistor. It's now working on 0.7nm. Moore's law states that every two years the number of transistors that can fit on a microchip will double. This means that if they complete a 0.7nm transistor, the next step will be transistors smaller than some atoms.
Saltwater Crocs Are Kinda Big. Human For Scale

I have hair like this too! Super thin dark blond strands and dark brown/almost black that are really thick, and a few red ones here and there that are somewhere in between in thickness.
Same except my overall light brown strands were always very fine, but I have solid black, solid white & solid red strands that randomly show up & are all very thick
Load More Replies...Did you know that curly hair is flat and straight hair is round like a straw?
I have white hair which is very coarse. I still have a few brown hairs that look similar to the bottom hair in the pic. No idea why.
I have naturally red hair too. Itâs crazy thick. I was told redheads have some of the thickest hair. The summer sucks for me.
Same my dude, I overheat so easily, it's annoying
Load More Replies...Same!!! Seems like a redhead thing, cause my hair does this! Especially before I cut it all off and it would all hang in my face, the size difference and color difference between hair strands is so weird! Super dark copper for the thick strands and golden blond for the super thin ones! It really helps give natural highlights that only really come with being a redhead
I have dark auburn hair sorta like this, I was born with natural blonde highlights and itâs pretty cool
We used to look for a redhead to grab a few strands. If you slid them under the tongue of a cane bagpipe drone reed, it kept it from stopping.
Worn Down Escalator Landing: Left Foot vs. Right Foot
I'm actually left-footed. It's weird, because I'm right handed. But when playing football, going on a scooter etc as a child, I favoured my left foot :)
I'm the exact opposite! I write with my left hand, but I'm right-dominant. Good to know my mirror image is out there :-)
Load More Replies...I write with right hand (was forced as kid), sew and cut (with a knife) with left, cut with a scissor with right (due I have no left hand scissor). I out the phone to ky left ear, look into the monocular with right eye, and kick with my right foot. Throw and catch with my right hand (I would be nr one catcher in games btw, really) I think I am messed up đ
Hello, fellow cross-dominant! I went to Catholic school back in the early 80's and when I started to show left handed tendencies, I too was forced to write right handed. Growing up, I ended up writing with my right hand, eating with my left and a mixed bag of right versus left preferences. If I am doing something I've never done before, I generally have to try it with both hands to settle on which one will be dominant for that task. For the longest time, I didn't know the term for my handedness. I didn't feel right saying I was right handed (pun!) , I also can't call myself left handed. I knew I wasn't truly ambi because I don't do things equally well with both hands. Then I read that the correct term for people like me is cross dominant - someone who uses different hands for different tasks. I'm actually compiling a list of everything I do and with which hand to try to quantify my handedness. If I had to guess, I would say that I'm probably a 60/40 left leaning cross-dominant đ
Load More Replies...that is weird because most peoples dominant leg is opposite of their dominant hand.
I am also right-handed but left-footed. Many years ago, I used to bowl. I didn't know about my left-footedness until someone approached me at a bowling alley & after watching me bowl and told me. The news came rather bluntly. He told me that one day I would smash my right ankle with a bowling ball, since I landed on my right foot to throw the ball. His "advice" I took his warning to heart and it affected my very good average for a while until I accepted that it's my own unique style.

Wow đł I remember seeing satellite pics of the before/after from a tsunami and it was so devastating.
....we had the WARNINGS 70 years ago....and STILL no real CHANGES from Right-Wing 'governments'
This is what is happening in northern Alberta right. now. One previous provincial government cut 15 million dollars from the program for fighting wildfires. The next government cut out a program that lowers specially trained firefighters down into the fire area to fight it from there. Consequently the fire control now is appalling. In northern Alberta the fire stations are manned by volunteer firefighters who are trained to fight building fires. Farmers have defied the evacuation orders and are staying to fight the fires themselves. Water companies are sending huge trucks with water tanks to provide enough for them. They have managed to get their hands on huge hoses like fire hoses. No government help any time soon. They donât know how to fight fires, but theyâre learning. What were they supposed to do? Leave their cattle farms and leave their livestock to burn to death? But after the fire all the fields of grass that feed the cattle will be gone. And theres a provincial election shortly.
Sounds like Australia, though I don't think we have any bushfires at the moment, as we are coming into winter. As well as farmers refusing evacuation in many places during past fires, we have a lot who ignore or don't even ask the warning about when not to do backburning, meaning we have had a number of grassfires the fire department has had to put out in my area in the last few months.

Anytime currency, in any form, is copied, the copy must either be larger or smaller than the original. Many counrtries have adopted this law, as well. The "Motion Picture Copy Money" is dated 2010. Perhaps the Fed's have stopped this after all. I hope so!
at the top in the rirst dollar it says motion picture copy

The person who dissed me for still using disposables and developing my own films - this is why đ đ so fun
Plus! - when the film is developed, it looks so much better!! Printer photos from data files always come out so grainy v_v
Load More Replies...I'm guessing that film is better in some respects, but there are so many variables that could affect the outcome of these images. For instance, was the digital one front lighted? Clearly the film one is aided by a flash, which could account for how much darker the background appears. What were the contrast settings on the phone versus digital image? I'm just sayin'. But interesting nonetheless.
Absolute Unit Of A Coke Bottle
I don't even remember what pop tastes like.. ever since I had my first kidney stones, (age 13), I've been too scared to touch the stuff...
Load More Replies...Every time BP drags out this picture I assume it's not a real product. Mostly because it doesn't have a coke lid.
Yeah, look at the empty bottles behind it and caps on the table. They filled a water jug with 2 liters and slapped a label on it.
Load More Replies...My dad's friend had a Pepsi machine in his shop. The kind with a CO2 container and the pull tab spouts, like a small version of what you would see at a service station. As a kid, I thought that was the coolest thing ever and it was a treat to go along with dad to see Jack and get a Pepsi.
Male Alligator Snapping Turtle With Me For Scale
Flood of '93 invited those beasts into local houses. Cleanup was crazy enough without having to go Steve Irwin mode. đâ ïž
I recommend looking up "Chonkosaurus" - a monster snapping turtle found along a river in Chicago.
Snapping turtles are so cute! From a distance. These huge giants bite horribly

The Number Of Political Ads Versus Bills And Personal Mail In The First 3 Days Of The Month
In Denmark you can get a "junk mail, no thanks"-sticker you can place on your mailbox, and though some companies do not respect it, it deals with a large portion of the problem, as it is illegal to spam a mailbox with those sticker unless the recierver actively have given you his aproval for an exemption.
you get personal mail? I went away for a month. When I picked up my mail, there were six magazines, and about two inches of junk.
I'm sure your accomplishments greatly outshine his.

That's sad. Should have put it back. Could have still been roaming the ocean. Or atleast lived out it's life like it was meant to.
Are you saying you've never consumed meat in your entire life? Because lobsters are used for food as well.

Erm, Babybel originated in France, and the big ones were the first to appear, back in the late 60s/early70s. The bite-sized ones came later.

You used the same loofah for 5 years?! I thought I was bad, changing them out after a year! đł
Throw them in when you wash the towels, then air dry. Easy peasy
Load More Replies...i changed them every 6 months or soon as it starts tearing - you know how much skin/bacteria particles are on there? looks clean but really....is it?
I just wash mine with the towels (with bleach). Be sure not to throw it in the dryer.
I stick them in a lingerie mesh bag and wash them same time I do my towels, about once a week.
.22 Round vs. .50 Cal Round
The .50 cal has a brass bullet. Probably armor piercing. It'll go right through an engine block.
The .22 round is actually a .22 long rifle, There is also a .22 short that is smaller and not shown.

Cereal - US Box vs. Canada Box
Guys itâs a scandal thereâs a 1 gram difference between the boxes!! đ
I'm guessing it's the difference in box design that's being compared, not the cereal size.
Load More Replies...Why does the Canadian Count Chocula have Xs for eyeballs? Ominous on its lack of nutrition?
The box on the left is Canadian. Bilingual English/French.
Load More Replies...Even though they are both made in Buffalo, NY, the Canadian one probably costs 2-3 dollar more.
Has to have French on it or the Quebecers get upset. Never mind that there are places in Quebec where it is illegal to have business signs in English.
Do they taste the same? I saw the Canadian ones for sale but I wanna try the OG experience
This Sign Compares Regular Snacks To Insect Snacks
Nope, not ready yet to accept this future, might never be ready. :(
Load More Replies...Nope, wont be eating insects until about the third month after the apocalypse.
I would eat all of it đ or at least try it all anyways, scorpion pops are actually pretty good if you get a chance and see them, they are cheap, buy one and try it, as I say at work âyou can always spit it out into napkin if you hate it, you donât have to swallow itâ
I've actually had a "scorpion sucker". Basically it was an inferior lollipop with what tasted and felt like bits of plastic in the middle. In fact every insect based thing I've tried has had absolutely no flavour and a nasty texture.
Oh Iâve eaten the scorpion sucker, and an ant one too! My grandmaâs local store sell them
Iâve tried some of these similar stuff and theyâre great, a bit expensive though
Smarties Size Comparison With Mini And Large
In Canada, smarties are candy coated chocolate and these are called rockets
Same in Australia and these lolly things I think there called love notes
Load More Replies...Reading all the above comments it seems that every other country has the same type of smarties except the US
As an Australian, I am SO confused, haha. These are called love notes and smarties are sugar coated chocolates, like M&Ms
I had a college class with a beautiful girl who walked in every day smelling like smarties and, ahhhhhhhh....
in the Netherlands smarties are a candy that are a lot like M&M's (without peanut)

This is a WEEK worth for me. I literally have a burn pile next to my fireplace for what I can't recycle. It is insanity!! So much waste.
I just recently shredded all of my old bills, credit union statements, etc. I had a huge, black plastic garbage bag full at the end đł
Sadly, our Council doesn't accept shredded paper for recycling.
