Absolute Units

Things that you’re in awe at the size of.

Absolute Unit: an Animal, Public Figure or Object who is larger than one would normally expect.

Rules

Absolute units, not normal units. More detailed definitions here

No creepshots / fat shaming pics allowed. Mainly the subjects are animals, but big foods and objects, like statues, are also allowed. If you are submitting humans, only public figures are allowed, and not only to showcase that they are fat, they must be also large in stature; no harassment or creepshots; fat-shaming is strictly prohibited.

while mild NSFW stuff is allowed (as long as its put in it's own tag when posting), anything more than that (and borderline NSFL) is straight up banned. This includes stuff that is sexual in nature, gory, anything not very palpable for the eyes.

Don't forget to follow the rules in your server

My dude, the article is from 2012. That’s before AI image generation really became a thing.

Or more likely, perspective tricks. Her hands look big enough to palm her entire skull in that pic. It is extremely deceptive.

Oh man, that hand is wild when you see it.

Hands are about the size of faces. Unless you're Charlie Kirk of course and your face is tiny. But then you shouldn't be surprised by big hands.

The perspective of the photo makes her palm the size of her face.

You're the one that mentioned AI. The hands look normal. Photo manipulation is a practice about 300 years old.

Believe what you want to believe, I'm not going to sit here and argue with you.
