50 Times People Spotted ‘Absolute Units’ And Shared Them In This Online Community (New Pics)
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.

According to the internet meme database Know Your Meme, 2017 seems to be the origin of the "absolute unit" meme. A Twitter user who went by the handle @mrreptoid posted a picture of a British hotelier David Morgan-Hewitt posing with the Queen of England. He captioned the photo, "In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit." The tweet and its caption caught on and people all over the internet started using it on pictures of amusingly large objects.
The online community in question has amassed more than 1.1M members since it was created in 2018. One of the most important rules there is to simply be nice, "there's no reason to be an unfriendly unit." Moreover, moderators let the users know that toxic behavior of any kind is banned, and there should be no harassment, creep-shots, witch-hunts, or fat-shaming. As they write, "We're looking for animals mostly, particularly cute animals which happen to be very large."

To find out what an expert had to say about the meme universe and the "absolute unit" joke, we reached out to Bradley E. Wiggins, Ph.D., an associate professor and department head of Media Communications at Webster Vienna Private University. He is the author of The Discursive Power of Memes in Digital Culture and his research interests also include digital semiotics and strategic communication.
"Memes have consistently been a part of online parlance, something academics refer to as 'digital culture', for nearly 20 or more years," he told Bored Panda. "The difference in awareness is due to the proliferation of a massive amount of content created, consumed and shared widely nearly all the time especially since cellular networks have increased the capacity for bandwidth."
The professor mentioned that one of the earliest internet memes — "unlike the concept discussed by Richard Dawkins in his oft-cited but mostly misunderstood book The Selfish Gene in 1978 — is the Star Wars Kid, originally a video that was shared and then later remixed and shared via early P2P services."

So Wiggins explained that memes have been around for longer than people think, "but their apparent increase in popularity stems from the truncated form of communication they allow. In other words, memes help you to keep it simple and short, but not without a possibly huge impact in terms of humor, but most interestingly because of resonance with an issue, a person or group, etc. at a given point in time," he added.
"It bears noting that when Trump was elected president in 2016, online supporters posted on 4chan that 'we've elected a meme as president', or something like that. That idea of a person inhabiting meme-ness (whatever that means) isn't that new. And one of the reasons why the absolute unit spread is due to the participation of Elon Musk in the meme's spread and remix, in my professional opinion."

It has commonly been assumed that memes usually have to cite or refer to some aspect of popular culture to resonate with a person or a bigger mass of people. "This isn't always the case and depending on the situation, the meme itself can swiftly become the same popular culture aspect that is making itself more understood and by more people," he said and asked you to think about memes that remix a politician as a villain from a movie or TV series. "That's a clear reference to pop culture."
"Now consider how a meme like the Ever Given cargo ship happened often without any reference to pop culture. Yet online users can remix the meme to talk about daily struggles, anxiety, jokes about failure, etc., and the larger online 'community' can ingest the meme as long as is needed," Wiggins told Bored Panda.
However, humor is still an essential part. "But sometimes the humor that is included might not be humorous for a different group than is intended for the original meme."

Marianne 3 years ago
I count over 40 ends. Wow, I had no idea that a stag could get so old! Impressive creature!
Marlowe Fitzpatrik 3 years ago
The ends don't indicate the age. Well .... to an extend they do, but not that you can count and say "Oh, this stag is x years old". deer lose their antlers every year and grow a new one. The new one is stronger and bigger than the earlier one but there's a genetic limit to how many ends they'll get. (Which also means this one has been bred to have especially many) If a deer nears the end of his age or the feeding during the year was bad or it got sick, the antlers will show that. Older stags will get less ends than the top-healthy ones, and if there was only few food, the antlers might become weird and weak, too.

When it comes to the "absolute unit" meme, the professor noted it’s a relatively neutral category whose main component would be light humor. "It's therefore pretty attractive, you can remix it pretty easily by applying the absolute unit phrase to any image, for example, that shows an exaggerated proportion and this then serves as the joke." However, there is a catch.
"Being comically oversized also implies the potential for body-shaming, or sometimes called fat-shaming. It might also point to other physical attributes that the person affected has little or no agency over. However, it's very important to remember that in the history of humor in general, sometimes a bit of pain is necessary for the joke to succeed."
Wiggins asked you to think of the basic joke about some guy whose hair is thinning. "It is as common a joke as anything similar, but for the person with thinning hair or a bald head, the joke might sting. This is an important catch to memes especially as their rapid dissemination might tempt the people enjoying the meme to ignore this aspect completely all for the joy of the joke," he said.

The Tallest Mallard Duck To Have Ever Lived Known As 'Long Boi'. He Lives On The Campus Of The University Of York, England. He Stands Just Over 1m Tall
Kayla J 3 years ago
I'm sorry, but this was proven untrue https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/05/01/long-boi-university-yorks-big-but-not-biggest-duck/4903746001/ "But Long Boi is not full mallard. According to his Instagram, he is a cross between a mallard and an Indian runner, which is a larger species that can grow as long as 2 feet, 6 inches, according to the Audubon Society. Long Boi's Instagram page says he is about 28 inches tall. So while tall for a mallard duck, Long Boi is of average size compared to other Indian Runner ducks, according to Snopes. "Despite the claims that he is 'the biggest duck ever to have lived,' he actually stands at just over 70 centimeters (about 27.5 inches), still quite tall compared to our other ducks," said Zoe Duffin, one of two biology students who run the duck's Instagram account."

After all, we turn to the meme world to relax, unwind, and sometimes to make sense of our chaotic existence. But seeing how unique and bizarre some jokes on the internet can get, it may suggest our sense of humor might only be getting weirder. Sharing and creating memes "has a lot of possible motivations with regard to the person or group active in this process," Wiggins noted.
"Humor is a part of it but perhaps also [a] connection with someone or some group by means of commenting upon or sharing the meme, or even creating their own. If the humor is getting weirder, then it's time to take a long cold look at whatever one understands to mean 'society'," he concluded.

It's a female huntsman. Timid but Lighting fast, you should see these guys go... Actually not even particularly large. I live in the Australian bush, trust me there are some giants...

My husband rehomed one from our daughters bedroom tonight! Pretty huge. I don't mind them in the house but bedrooms are out of bounds. They are tenacious! I've seen them taken outside only to run back in!!

Look for a spider called Charlotte online (not if you are arachnophobic). She's a huge huntsman found in a barn and was very kindly relocated to another area where she would be safe.

I was riding the bus one day. A woman with about this size of dog if not bigger came to the back of the bus where I was sitting. She had her dog sit on the floor. The dog's head came at least to my head height when I was sitting. I chatted with the owner and eventually asked the dog's name. She said she called her Annapurna, after Mt Everest's original name.

This frog is actually having a sad fate, it's an African clawed frog with bloating disease. This means its body is going to absorb liquid, feeling pain and having its organs squeezed until it dies. There's no cure.

It IS sick. Bloating. If you're referring to the color, it's normal. Aqua frogs are weird colors.

Why Would They Make This Antibiotic Pill So Big? I’d Happily Take Two Instead
Got Myself 4 Pandas 3 years ago
I had come cod liver oil tablets or something similar that were massive, couldn't split them since they were the liquid filled kind and I wasn't about to taste whatever was inside - but I got used to it. I'm on a lot of meds these days due to poor health, my husband freaks out as I'll take loads before bed but I just put them in my hand and take them all at one - talking about 15ish tablets at one, some small, some quite big, but yeah, all at once. My husband is convinced I'm going to choke and die one day (or maybe he hopes?) but he's the type that can only take one at a time and struggles with that

Size Comparison Of The Statue Of Liberty And Statue Of Unity In India

I honestly think this is exaggerated. I mean, in a country where so many people still don't have electricity or clean water, I imagine that even Mr. Patel (the man represented) would rather have the millions spent on the statue redirected and spent for more practical purposes. The construction of the statue is said to have cost some US $422 million.

It seems you prefer some animals over others and don't feel sympathy for animals that may be unhealthy and therefore suffering. Actually it seems more like pleasure than lack of sympathy. Is it that you enjoy looking at birds so the suffering of any animal that could in theory diminish your ability to look at the birds pleases you?
