When you read about something or see it on TV, the (lack of) context might leave you guessing — or even worse, misinterpreting — the details.
Luckily, r/HumanForScale solves that problem. Every picture on the subreddit comes with a body or two so that we, the viewers, can accurately gauge the dimensions of objects, whether they’re wild animals, historical artefacts, or architectural wonders.
In a world where everyone wants your attention and misinformation spreads faster than ever, clarity is queen.
