Perspective changes everything. Take a particular object, put it in a specific time and place, and you see how it differs compared with an almost identical one. And since such an experiment would probably be slightly too elaborate for real life, Bored Panda has compiled this entertaining collection of the most surprising comparisons.
From comparing a chimpanzee fingertip with a human fingertip to photos of a man before and after walking across China for the whole year, these are side-by-side shots that show the weird and the wonderful side of the world we live in. So pull your chair closer, get your popcorn ready and tune in for the list that puts a spin on the good old “spot the difference” game.
After you’re done, make sure to check out our previous posts with incredible comparisons here, here, and here.

Perspective is a beautiful power to subject things to. Not only do we start seeing their beauty, as in the cases of these comparisons, it can also make us feel better. You see, while putting things in perspective, we are selecting a particular mode of seeing them, and it doesn't just feel like it, our brain actually does it.
Scientists say that changing perspective is a healthy exercise if we want to be empathetic, rational and compassionate. However, changing perspective is not merely about seeing things from the point of view of another. It's just as much about gaining perspective.

Changing one’s perspective has to do with the point of view in which you stand. By stepping outside of our usual perspectives, it can become possible to frame arguments in ways that motivate others instead of leaving them feeling rejected, for example. In a similar way, you can start seeing things not as simply black or white, good or bad, but in a more complex light. This will get us out of the loop of negativity, prejudice and other negative emotions.

How many calories would you need to eat to lose that much weight in only 2y? Anybody knows? I have been eating 1400kcal a day on average for the last five months and I lost three kgs... :( I am aiming for 1200 now but its difficult to be able to cook nice meals at the same time.

One reason more to see why "race" is a ridiculous concept. I bet that a lot of people wouldnt say that the person in the right is "white" when they see both together. Same if you see me (extremely pale and more "north european" looking) and my sister (very tan and more "mediterranean" looking)

How Titanium Gets Color With Different Voltages
95v for sure... Anything that has a blue/green mix in my opinion is beautiful :)
Load More Replies..."In titanium anodizing, the voltage dictates the color. The volt range for color titanium anodizing is between 15 and 110 volts. A bronze color, with the thinnest oxide layer, can be achieved with about 16 volts. A green color, with the thickest oxide layer, can be achieved with 106 volts."
It's odd how the colors repeat. Yellow/orange, magenta, blue, yellow/orange, magenta blue. But then it goes into green.
It's a lot more involved than the amount of voltage to "anodize any metal".
There are loads of YouTube how-to videos on anodizing titanium. It's a popular pastime for Ti scaled folding knife collectors. A few 9V batteries, some hardware store chemicals and a little titanium wire... and you're in business. If you want to get serious, a 125V DC power supply runs about $130. DSCN0196-2...b53b35.jpg
Also works on steel and niobium. Most of my jewellery is a 55V anodised titanium, with some pvd coated titanium and black niobium (heat treated so it's more greyish black).
So you can use all those amazing colors and you choose BLACK? And GREY? In jewellery?
