Just try to picture something so round, hearty, and out of proportion to its surroundings that it would grab anyone’s attention and simply wouldn’t let it go. If you’re already feeling amused, this post might be just for you. You see, today we’re all about celebrating Absolute Units, a meme dedicated to objects, animals, and people that are just comically oversized.
In fact, it got so much attention on the internet that it even inspired an online community with the same name. Also titled “Lads that you’re in awe at the size of,” the subreddit offers a variety of pictures that vividly illustrate just how big some things can get.
From gigantic toads to chonky cats to exceptionally huge statues, some of these critters and objects can’t even be compared to their peers. Below, you’ll find the most recent top-voted posts Bored Panda has selected from the group, so continue scrolling and let us know which ones you liked most! And since you might find it hard to turn your gaze away, be sure to check out our previous compilations about absolute units right here, here, and here.
