Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground!

I wonder if it will be friends with me?

Had to bring one in a time machine to make the aliens happy

It’s pretty fucking tiny on my phone.

[–] psycho_driver 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Still not quite as big as your mom.

What is this, a country for ants?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 6 points 1 week ago

If the whale is closer to the camera than America, doesn't that mean that it's still to scale but has a warped perspective?

[–] niktemadur 6 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, that ol' Disneyland Main Street trick, forced perspective.

[–] idunnololz 5 points 1 week ago

Looking good OP's mom

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Holy shit the US is tiny af lol it’s barely bigger than a whale

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Whales don’t have scales 😉

[–] Everythingispenguins 2 points 1 week ago

But they do have tails

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This whale is near. That country is far away.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

And the depth of focus is incredible!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Just like the toy cows and the real cows.

[–] Cosmicomical 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

That's a big ass map of the Us

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

To scale though. You can tell because Oklahoma is the armpit along with Arizona...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I math in banana's

[–] ZeffSyde 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Imagine how massive the camera that took that picture is!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's not how cameras work. It could also simply be normal-size camera very far away.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

With a good depth of field!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

And yet, multiple ones fit nicely next to England.

[–] wafflez 1 points 1 week ago

So whats a real whale to US scale look like then?

[–] bruhduh 1 points 1 week ago

That's some re:zero whale out there
