Who knew The Rock could look so…petite?!

We know Charles Barkley is a solid guy and Shaq is really tall, but they make The Rock – who is 6’4″ tall and 260 pounds – look like an action figure.

Think this is Photoshopped? It came from the man in the middle himself, who posted it on Twitter for perspective.

Even with their genetic and hormonal differences, girl’s and boy’s lives don’t need to be so different. What makes them so is the way we raise them.

Props to all the girls who overcame the low expectations that implied their hair, weight, fashion sense, etc. should be their defining features instead of their intelligence and ambition.

You can argue that the beautiful Faith Hill already has a lot more help than the rest of us given that she has a hair and makeup team.

This Photoshopped magazine cover – which went viral years ago – just goes to show that even the rich, famous, and gorgeous aren’t “perfect” enough for our glossy ideals of what a woman should look like.

(And, of course, men get Photoshopped into unrealistic versions of themselves too.)

You’re supposed to inherit only 50% of your genes from your father, but each member of The Beatles looks like he managed to flat-out clone himself.

They’d sure make a heck of a cover band!

We’re going to trust the photo and never, ever try this at home.

And we have to admit – we’ve never really thought of polar bears as quite so big. But we’re definitely going to skip the high five.

We’re not judging, we’re merely pointing out (or, rather, a Redditor is) how very different the papal thrones of Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis were styled.

Choose your own interpretation of what this says about their worldviews.

Two siblings bedrooms, side by side, taken at the same time show just how much difference an extra window and a north-facing view can make.

We wonder how much their personalities differ as a result of such different conditions.

The ceiling tiles in the Da Nang Airport in Vietnam look significantly different on the right.

That’s because on the left you have the smoking section.

That’s a lot of dirty air particles!

Depending on your mood, the Valentine’s Day purchase on the left might look just as – if not more – appealing than the pink, stereotypical version on the right.

And no one ever said you couldn’t romantically split a bottle of Jack Daniels and some fried chicken.

To each their own.

This is Rainbow Falls, located on Big Island in Hawaii. The photo on the left is what you’ll see if you visit when the weather is good.

But you’ll want to stay back a lot farther if you visit after a hurricane drops a ton of rain on the area.

Where on Earth can you see a line for the men’s room this long and no one in line for the ladies room?

Sadly, at a tech conference.

This Redditor took the photo at an IT conference.

Normally, a photo like this would tell you one egg is fresh and free-range while the other is store-bought.

But it just so happens that the chicken that laid the egg on the left is a lot more experienced. She’s been laying eggs for years. The egg on the right is from a chicken that just started laying eggs.

You can get heirloom tomatoes at the grocery store or grow them in your garden. They taste great and beautiful to boot (at least once you cut into them).

Of course, most of us just get the tomatoes we now consider to be “regular” ones at the store. These have been bred to look a certain way and be largely uniform in size and color.

What a difference some genes make!

A Redditor fouond his mom’s old mobile phone and no doubt got a kick out of the comparison.

How did we ever lug those things around?

Have you ever wondered why you just can’t capture the moment in a photo sometimes? A lot of it has to do with lighting.

This photographer caught someone else’s camera flash when taking this photo of snow falling at Ginzan Onsen, which illuminated the snow for him.

If you had seen an entire photo that looked like the left-hand side, you’d have a much different idea of what the town looked like at night.

Another blast from the past comparison.

Think of all the things you would have needed to carry around a couple of decades ago to get all the functions that one little smartphone has now.

If you don’t know someone with vision issues, you may not have thought about the sheer volume of paper needed for just one braille book.

This is what just 3 of the many Game of Thrones books looks like in braille.

It seems like we can’t escape news of the glaciers in the Arctic melting. That’s because it has some serious ramifications for all of us.

This photo is more powerful than any aerial view.

We kind of needed that ice.

A young woman with anemia – a condition in which a person lacks enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to the body’s tissues – posted a photo at the height of her condition and again when she had it under control.

Now we know why grandma was always telling us how to get the color back in our cheeks!

Most weed killers are toxic and we simply use them to make our lawns look a certain way that we’ve decided is “good.”

But many people appreciated the au naturel look of the lawn on the right, especially since it probably wasn’t harming the local ecosystem in the process.

What a difference some poison makes.

You gotta love Minnesota – indeed, the whole snow belt!

They really know how to pack all their seasons into one week.

Have you ever compared your pants to those of your significant other?

Not everyone has a size difference, but since women tend to be shorter and smaller, the jeans comparison often seems comical, even if there’s not that big a difference when you’re looking at a couple.

In this case, the husband is 6’ 3” and the wife is 5’ 2”.

So why are men’s jeans still cheaper even though they need all that extra fabric?!

This pup’s name is Asher and he was adopted in 2012. Since then, it looks like he’s grown into being a beloved pet.

Just look at the difference in his posture and eyes!

Not every place gets this much snow, but Steamboat Springs, Colorado is known for its white fluffy stuff and that’s why people flock there to ski.

But we had no idea there were THAT many inches on those mountains!

While Redditors love to argue about where the tornado is in relation to the wind turbines (in front or behind, skewing the perspective), the truth is that tornados can measure a mile across or more whereas your average wind turbine is just over 100 feet wide.

Either way, it goes to show how nature can easily dwarf most human efforts.

Our first response was “eww.”

This is the same type of phone case, only one has been used for over a year.

And that’s likely more than dirty – that type of plastic can be permeable and absorb all sorts of stuff – like cigarette smoke and other pollutants.

If you compare any soldier from three-quarters of a century ago with one today there would be striking differences.

But do better weapons and protective gear make war safer? Or just easier to justify?

Say what you want about people who build on our shorelines, but no one deserves to have their home devastated.

The bottom photo – post-Hurricane Florence – was taken in Surf City, North Carolina. That disaster resulted in 53 fatalities.

We know California wildfires have been devastating these past few years as winds and drought have led to widespread damage and air pollution.

Even those who live outside the evacuation areas have to be careful because that air travels. Just take a look at this photo snapped in San Francisco for proof.

Well, Pluto wins if you just drop it on Australia, but the continent is slightly bigger.

Whether or not you’re Team Pluto Is A Planet, it’s striking to see just how small it is compared to our own.

And we thought Barbie was encouraging some toxic expectations.

It looks like Ken managed to find the fountain of youth in the last 30+ years (though he didn’t manage to find nipples).

This mom knew she and her daughter looked alike, but had no idea just how much until she pasted their photos side-by-side.

It’s always nice to get a heads up on how you might age!

This one is pretty incredible – it just looks like the same person in summer vs. winter!

Sure, it’s a stereotype that moms are more careful or dads are more “fun.” But this photo made us laugh at the two different experiences the same child had when sliding down with each of his parents.

To be fair, sharks are fish and dolphins are mammals, so we expect to see a big difference.

But this explains a lot about why we consider dolphins pretty intelligent creatures and sharks just violent eating machines. Oversimplifications of both, to be sure, but shark brains are only capable of so much, as you can see.

We would probably all be horrified to know what we look like in full sleep mode. It usually isn’t pretty.

Dubai started developing in the 1960s, but as you can see, the vast majority of construction took place in the 90s.

It’s gone from a group of settlements to a prosperous, glamorous city funded by the oil discovered there decades ago.

Russian makeup artist Vadim Andreev can transform someone into a whole new person with just a few tools.

Don’t think of this as trying to hide behind makeup, just appreciate the artistry.

Do you think you’d recognize her if you had only seen her one way?

Both types of lights cause a certain amount of light pollution, but it’s incredible to see just how different the illumination is with newer bulbs.

While the LEDs seem to provide better visibility, there are always other effects to consider, such as how they interfere with the circadian rhythms of humans and animals.

Don’t believe us? Here’s a gif to prove it.

We’re not sure why this bugs us so much.

Ah, the beauty of Fall.

We just love to see the leaves turn – especially the climbing ivy, which is like a temporary new paint job for your home.

According to the poster, Indigo is a lower content wolfdog and Lycan is a high content wolfdog.

If you think your dog looks wolflike, just try comparing him or her to the one on the left!

The Titanic might have been the largest passenger ship ever to sail in its time, but we’re making them roughly 5 times larger these days.

That’s a rendering of the Titanic in the front – and behind you can see Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, current the largest class of cruise ship on Earth.

Well, Michelin certainly has this tire thing down, no matter what your vehicle.

In case you were wondering, the big one is for those giant earth mover trucks (which are large enough to easily run over your average large pickup truck).

To be fair, the blue whale is the largest known creature ever to have existed on the planet.

If you recognize just how majestic this creature is, you might want to consider how much waste you produce every year that ends up in its oceans.

Diane Keaton is stunning – not just for her age, but in general.

Still, we don’t believe for a second that L’Oreal managed to smooth her face that much with its products alone.

Here she is at the Golden Globes compared to the L’Oreal commercial that aired during that show.

The first year of college is enough to turn anyone’s smile upside down.

We just hope summer came soon after this photo was taken and she got some good rest!

Granted, any street will probably look pretty different after 71 years, but it’s hard to imagine just how much has taken place in one spot.

The incredible part is that most of those foundations are still the same.

Don’t try this in space – no one needs you setting things on fire up there (or down here, for that matter).

Just take NASA’s word for it when they say a flame in a low-gravity environment will be less buoyant. However, they are able to spread in any direction, which is why there are some high-tech fire extinguishers on the International Space Station.

This mom proudly displays paintings of a sunflower done by each of her four children when they were 5 years old.

We wonder how these different visions correspond to their personalities.

Not much has changed (in terms of enthusiasm and posture) for this guy from his first day of primary school to his last day of teacher training.

We hope his future students are just as excited to go to school each day!
