The world we live in is full of illusions and deceptions that fool us, fool our brains and especially our eyes. There are things that are bigger than you think that prove this hypothetical theory of foolery. As sight is one of the most important human senses, when you realize that some things are bigger than you thought, one might start doubting one’s senses. Our eyesight is vulnerable to the more complex illusions the world throws us. But why do we tend to undersize some objects and oversize others — are the visual illusions at fault here, or do some other shenanigans fool our brains?
The world is full of things — large and small — so it’s only natural for us to over-bloat some things and minimize others. There are a lot of things that are bigger than they seem. The best way to break this visual error is to compare two things near each other. The perfect example — a lighthouse and a wave. A large wave is much bigger than you think when you compare it with a puny lighthouse. The lighthouse is only a piece of stone or metal compared to a large incoming wave of water.
Wondered how big a piece of driftwood can be or how big an untamed wolf is? Well, if you are looking for those images and want to compare them with similar things, we got you covered. We have compiled the most epic list of things that are big enough to break your preset thinking. If one of the things below broke the illusion for you, upvote it and share it with a friend so it can do the same thing to them. Also, comment below if you have seen one of the listed things live with your own eyes!

It’s not negotiable! My dogs love him to bits. He’s a huge teddy bear and he don’t care. Just don’t mention the drool

Large dogs often have percussion pads that build up on boney areas that come in contact with hard floors... The sheer weight of their bodies on the hard surface causes them to grow. Harmless

I have one of these! This is a pixie frog (named for their small head), or african bullfrog. They're the largest species of frog in the world, and this one is a male. Another cool fact is these frogs have teeth! They have a few in the front that in males, get so big that they look like fangs. The species as a whole is basically a bunch of sentient avocados with anger issues. They never dont wake up and choose violence. I have scars from mine and his "love bites" (read: attempts to eat me).

Old Truck vs. New Truck
Weasel Wise 2 years ago (edited)
For clarity, this looks like the largest version of truck they make AND, cuz the owner most likely has a short man complex, the oversized tires make it look taller as does the 2.5+ feet of jacking it up. Basically what I'm getting at is that this truck isn't this big normally, the owner is just a doüche.

If this notion piques your curiosity, consider exploring a fascinating collection of surprisingly large items that can alter your perception of scale.
