![30+ Objects We Had No Idea Were Actually So Big]([["default","https:\/\/posts-cdn.kueez.net\/eWsxcHADuKpotZXx\/image-HMgdrcevgmnXkDES.jpg"]])
Have you ever heard of megalophobia? A lot of people have it - and it's the fear of massive objects. And after seeing the photos in the story, we can't say we blame them. So much of what's here are things that we see on a regular basis, either on television or from far away, that we never stop to consider just how big they really are. Once you see up close these massive objects though, you'll be viewing the world from a whole new light - especially once you get to the shocking photos at the end.
1. This Comet Compared To The City Of Los Angeles
The comet named 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko is 3km wide and it would’ve vaporized the entire Los Angeles if it had impacted the city.
After looking at the size of the comet, we have no doubt why dinosaurs went extinct. In fact, now we feel awful for them.
2. A Special Giant Matchstick for The Giants
Looking at this giant matchstick reminds us of Andre Ortolf from Germany who made a world record by extinguishing the most matchsticks with only his tongue in just one minute.
He was able to extinguish 69 matchsticks. Imagine if he had tried to extinguish this giant matchstick. It would have easily burnt his tongue. It looks like a matchstick made only for the giants to use.
3. An Iceberg About The Size Of The One That Sank The Titanic
This is a giant 150 ft. iceberg, which is floating past Canada. This iceberg is 50 ft. bigger than the one that sank the Titanic.
Given that there are much bigger ships than Titanic, we don't want anything like that happening ever again.
4. Let The Search for Aliens Begin
China went on to turn a remote area into the largest radio telescope in the world. It has a diameter of 1,640 feet and is the size of - wait for it - 30 football fields.
To build the giant telescope, over 8,000 residents had to be relocated from the area. So China has a big gun to hunt for extra-terrestrial life. Maybe China did find some aliens and, who knows, we might get an answer to who really built the Great Pyramid of Giza.
5. Fully Inflated Horse Lungs
Believe it or not, these are fully inflated horse lungs. They were taken from a recently deceased horse and the scientists inflated them for research purposes.
At least we know the horse was not a smoker. One of the ways to make a person quit smoking is to show them the lungs of a smoker vs. lungs of a healthy person. It can work because some people do quit smoking after seeing such a bad condition of the lungs.
6. When a Giant Doggo Plays Fetch
This giant driftwood washed up on shore and given how big it is, one wonders if it really drifted or if a giant doggo brought it while playing fetch.
The tree has been stripped of its bark, which means it has been drifting for quite some time before reaching the shore.
7. So Aliens Once Roamed The Earth…Hmm
What you're seeing is a Quetzalcoatlus Northropi model next to a fully grown man. It is known to be the largest known flying animal that ever existed. After looking at it, now we feel a little less awful about dinosaurs going extinct.
Who needs aliens when we used to have the weirdest creatures imaginable right here on earth!
8. This Massive Control Room Is How China Manages It's Traffic
This is Beijing's traffic control room and it surely is one of the coolest looking control rooms in terms of design.
Having such a huge control room for China's capital city makes sense because the world's longest traffic jam was recorded in Beijing that lasted for not one, but three days.
9. When You Can’t Get Enough of Rubber Ducks
If your kid is obsessed with a rubber duck, just get him/her this giant duck. Either your kid will be scared of it, or they may love it more than anything else in the world.
But keep in mind not to let your child squeak the duck as it would disturb the entire neighborhood. We’re sure that would be a big problem.
10. Another Reason To Take Traffic Light Seriously
Traffic lights look a lot smaller when dangling from their posts, and this photo shows that now there is another reason not to mess with them.
Just so you may know, it is a regular, average, run-of-the-mill stoplight. Moreover, traffic lights are frighteningly heavy as well.
11. Not an Alien Fruit
At first, you may think it is a photoshopped image. But in reality, it is a jackfruit that is usually found in the region between the Western Ghats of southern India and the rainforests of Malaysia.
By the way, the world's heaviest jackfruit weighed 42.72 kg. It was found in India in 2016.
12. Fat and Swollen Cruise Ship vs. Handsome Titanic
Is it just us or does the Titanic look more beautiful than a big modern cruise ship that is also responsible for polluting our planet?
We mean to say that these giant cruise ships are responsible for a lot of pollution (both air and water pollution).
13. “Don’t Even Try”
This is a photo of Margo Dydek, who was a Polish professional basketball player. With a height of 2.18 m (7 ft 2 in), she was the world's tallest professional basketball player.
Sadly, she passed away on 19 May 2011 when she was pregnant with her third child. She was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2019.
14. Did You See The Captain In Front Of His Ship?
There was a time when the Titanic was the largest cruise ship in the world. But did you know that ships now are twice as high and twice as wide as Titanic?
As of 2020, Royal Caribbean is the world's largest cruise ship. It has 22 restaurants, theaters, an ice rink, 42 bars, lounges, and even a freaking zip line.
15. Is There a Dragon Under There?
You may have seen anchor chains in movies. These are anchor chains, and one can only hope that they don't get tangled. Just look at their huge size (it doesn’t sound right and we apologize)
That's so impressive! And no matter how long we look at this picture, we can't make the brain stop seeing tiny people on big chains.
16. Dump Truck Compared To School Bus
After looking at this super big dump truck, it is hard not to wonder how it would feel to drive one of these bad boys.
You can get an idea about how big this dumper is by looking at the flight of stairs that take a person to the driver room. It is like a house on wheels.
17. Size Replica Of A Blue Whale's Heart
If a blue whale ever falls in love with a human, it can tell him to live in its heart (both figuratively and literally).
A blue whale's heart is about 5 feet long and 4 feet wide. It weighs about 400 pounds. To put it into perspective, a golf cart weighs about 500-600 pounds.
18. When The Taller Guy Becomes Shorter
Titanic was the biggest ship of its time, but now it looks small compared to today's big ships. While Dwayne Johnson is 6 ft. 5 inches tall, he is standing next to Yao Ming, a 2.29 m (7 ft 6 in) former Chinese professional basketball player.
To put it into perspective, Shaquille O'Neal is 2.16 m (7 ft 1 in) in height, and just Google him standing next to Yao Ming.
19. Actual Size Of Freeway Signs
We read road signs almost every day and who knew they were so big? The distance can make you lose perspective on the real size of things. Given how big road signs are, it is amazing how some people still can’t see them and miss the exit.
Have you watched the movie Final Destination? After looking at such a big sign, we hope none of them ever fall because they could essentially get decapitated.
20. World's Tallest Dam Has A 1000 Foot Drop
This is the Gordon Dam, aka the Gordon River Dam, in South West Tasmania, Australia. Built in 1973, it is 460 ft. in height.
As the water from the dam descends 600 ft. underground into its power station, you can imagine how scary the fall would be.
21. A Hired Giant Holding Golden Bridge in Vietnam
The Golden Bridge in Vietnam is a 500 feet long pedestrian bridge that has been raised in the air by two giant hands.
The bridge is almost a mile above sea level and it has been a huge hit for tourists. It seems like the rumors are true that Vietnam hired a giant to do the job.
22. That's Just One Wind Turbine Blade
The three blades of a wind turbine are there to achieve angular momentum. Amazingly, this is not a big blade.
The latest generation for offshore wind parks will exceed 330 feet. Given that wind turbines are eco-friendly, it is important governments all around the world invest in more renewable solutions.
23. If Saturn Were As Close To Us As Our Moon
For hundreds of years, humans have praised the beauty of our beloved moon. But have you ever wondered what would happen if there was no moon or if Saturn replaced it?
If that happens, it will create a spectacular view. However, the tides would be many thousands of times stronger and anything on the surface of the earth would be wiped out. So, don’t go around hoping that Saturn replaces the moon, okay.
24. A Zippo That Belongs to Lamplighter
If you have watched The Boys season 2 on Amazon Prime Video, then you must know about Lamplighter. We have a feeling that this zippo belongs to him.
Anyone who collects Zippos should consider getting this giant zippo that looks super cool.
25. Bark Out Loud
This is Dog Bark Park Inn in Cottonwood, Idaho. It is world's only beagle-shaped hotel and it is also one of America's weirdest and coolest roadside attractions.
People who stay in Dog Bark Park Inn leave with great memories and have high praise for the people who run the hotel. Do consider staying there for one night.
26. Monster Lobster
As far as we know, any lobster that is too small gets tossed back and the same goes if it is too big. We can hope that he threw this giant lobster back because older ones do most of the breeding.
If they decided to cook, we know one thing - that they must have used a jackhammer to crack those big claws.
27. Michelangelo’s David Next To A Person
Italian artist Michelangelo created this masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture between 1501 and 1504.
A lot of people did not know that it was so big. In fact, many people who saw it on the internet assumed it was about an average adult's size.
28. Did Fred Flintstone Order This Rib?
Some people will say that this person used a baby arm to show how big this rib is, but we think it is pretty massive.
He could have used a banana for scale. By the way, did this person finish it or asked 100 other people to help him?
29. When They Say "Put Yourself In Someone Else's Shoes"
If anyone ever tells you to step into someone's shoes, just show them this photo and tell them, "I tried, but I couldn't."
It looks like the missing shoe of a giant who is looking for it because he wants to buy those giant matchsticks we showed above.
30. Yep, They Used To Exist
This is Gigantopithecus, an extinct genus of ape from the early to Middle Pleistocene of southern China.
According to experts, they went extinct due to climate changes. The fossil record suggests that they were up to 9.8 ft. tall and weigh up to 1190 lbs.
31. Talk To The Hand…Claw
We have a joke to share. What’s a lobster favorite TV show? Well, it is Claw and Order.
This lobster claw is as big as the man’s hand and one wonders if one person managed to eat the whole thing.
32. A Beaver’s Fantasy
This photo might trigger some people (not a beaver) because it looks like a waste of a lot of wood.
Although some people may love the craftsmanship here, we have to admit that it looks like they wasted a lot of wood.
33. A Guilty Pleasure Taken Too Far
Eating chocolate should be a guilty pleasure, but it can lead to diabetes if you start eating it far too much. That's why Snickers and other chocolate brands sell smaller bars.
Of course, companies are always trying to find the next big thing that they can use to get an edge over the competition. Although it's safe to say that Snickers might have gone a bit too far with their newest product.
34. This Is What 400,000 Volt Cables Look Like
This is the size of a 400,000-volt underground cable and it looks scary. It is a seriously large conductor.
And how many of you know that the worldwide internet is connected via the oceans, underground cables and not by satellites?
35. A Luxury Carrot Worth About "24 Karats"
You can find some really weird and amazing stuff in Japan, just like long carrots for sale at the supermarket. It is as long as a sword.
Some people will have some other thoughts after looking at such a long carrot (if you know what we mean), but we shouldn't talk about them.
36. It Belongs To The Night King
Someone’s grandfather found this really big icicle and we just think that it may belong to the Night King from Game of Thrones. Now that we have mentioned GOT here, did you like the ending or did you hate it?
It also looks like a perfect long-distance murder weapon, especially when the Night King uses it to kill a dragon. Ah, we may never get to watch a series like GOT again.
37. Size Doesn’t' Matter...Or Does It?
This young boy went to the park and found a big leaf. The next day he went again and found an even bigger leaf. He then compared it with a banana and you can see the size difference.
He should have compared the leaf with three bananas on top of each other.
38. Will She Say Yes?
If a giant ever proposes to his girlfriend, he will have to get her one of these bad boys. It looks just like a real gold ring.
In reality, it is one of the props that they used in the Lord of the Rings movies. Imagine how difficult it would have been for Bilbo Baggins to drag the through Middle Earth.
39. The Oldest Still Standing Structure - The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza is enormous. It is 481 ft. in height and is made from limestone and granite.
Even with such advanced technology, experts have not been able to find out exactly how the Egyptians built it. There are many hypotheses out there such as they dragged and lifted huge blocks of limestone into one place. But exactly how they did it? Did aliens help them? What do you think about it?
40. Hey, Does Privacy Mean Anything To You?
This sculpture is called 'The Bather' made of Styrofoam and steel. It was a project by artist Oliver Voss.
His creation was displayed in Hamburg, Germany. The statue was displayed for 10 days in the Alster Lake. It looks so real.
41. World's Biggest Tree Next To People
This is the largest tree in the world. The General Sherman Tree is the largest currently living tree.
However, it is not the largest historically recorded tree.
42. Snowman Building Taken To The Next Level
You have seen kids building a snowman and they really love it. After all, it is a good fun activity.
But what if an adult has to compete with kids in building the biggest snowman? Well, this is how the end result would look like.
43. When a Giant Does Laundry
This giant clothespin sculpture was designed by Turkish artist and professor Mehmet Ali Uysal for the Festival of the Five Seasons in Chaudfontaine Park, Belgium.
It seems like a giant was doing laundry when he dropped this clothespin and it got stuck onto a mound of dirt and grass.
44. When You Have Lungs of a Great Blue Whale
You can blow up a balloon of such size only when you have the lungs of the great blue whale, which has a capacity of 5,000 litres (1,320 US gal).
We are sure you must have heard about some people claiming how to check if you have COVID-19 or not. Well, some people said that you don’t have COVID-19 if you can hold your breath for over 20 seconds. Of course, doctors discarded the theory. Don’t believe everything you find on the internet. The best approach is to do some research before sharing it with others.
