People Break Down The Situations Where Bigger Is Not Always Better

Is bigger really better? And not just REALLY better but ALWAYS better? That's a question that's continued to boggle the human brain. You might have noticed that people are quite polarized on this concept. Especially concerning sex. Yes, definitely that.

But there's more to observe about this expectation than just the horizontal mambo (as one of my neighbors liked to refer to it). So much more.

People shared their thoughts with us after Redditor rayvtoriq_ asked the online community,

"What are examples where 'bigger is better' isn't true?"

"The giant ones..."

"Stars. The giant ones die quickly, the small ones can live for billions of years."

The very smallest red dwarfs can live for trillions of years. They cook their hydrogen fuel very slowly and over low temperatures. Talk about stretching your rations!

"The length..."

"The length of silence after you ask someone to marry you."

Ouch... did you really have to go there? We're all suffering from secondhand cringe.

"I'm at the age..."

"Kidney stones. I'm at the age where I'm starting to dread those things. Hoping to go as long as I can without one, luckily I've never been a soda drinker and am an absolute man-sl*t for water."

Dahhhhkness

Well done! You're doing better than a lot of people. Probably best for many people to just give up soda altogether.

"You would think..."

"Vegetables. You would think more = better but the bigger they are the less flavor there is and the texture gets weird. For certain veggies at least. Zucchini for example."

An excellent point. Smaller and flavorful is the way to go.

"Anyone who's ever been pregnant..."

"Babies. Anyone who's ever been pregnant has that thought of what if this baby doesn't fit through that hole? C-sections suck. Emergency C-sections when you are 10 cm dilated and the baby is stuck are terrifying."

"The amount..."

"The amount/weight of stuff you have to unload/carry from one place to another."

[deleted]

Moving is the best time to unload all the unnecessary crap. Easier when you are doing the packing than on your actual moving day though!

"To say something that isn't necessarily obvious: cruise ships."

"These lumbering behemoths that cruise lines have been building don't really lead to a more enjoyable experience for passengers: they're overcrowded, impersonal and the desperation to pack in more and more "activities" actually can make a vacation more stressful. Plus, they are environmental disasters."

"Small ships tend to offer a much better experience: better service, better food, better itineraries, and an overall more relaxed, more personal time."

BorisGudunov

"Better quality products..."

"Personal care products. Better quality products tend to be more concentrated or have less filler ingredients, so you need less product for the same results. I notice this with moisturizer especially."

I feel I should add a disclaimer: Your mileage on this may vary.

"If it's a little meteor..."

"A shooting star. If it's a little meteor, it's cool and you get to make a wish. If it's a big meteor, we're all dead."

CurlSagan

You just watched Don't Look Up, didn't you?

"It might be weird..."

"Beards. It might be weird, but this is a hill I will die on."

Peticher

When my own beard gets too long, it starts to itch, which drives me utterly insane. I do not recommend.

"I still remember waking up..."

"Rats. I still remember waking up in the morning to go to school and my cat was at the front door with a rat she had killed almost as big as her. She had such a proud look on her face."

mackatron2317

Your cat SHOULD be proud. Who's to say that thing wouldn't have eaten her first?!

Well, look, you managed to get through this entire article without finding one mention of a penis. Disappointing, I know.

MAGA Melts Down After 'Woke' Pope Leo Urges The World To 'Search Always For Peace'

MAGA followers were not happy with Pope Leo XIV and accused him of being "woke" after he, in remarks to reporters, implored "people of good will" to "search always for peace."

The Pope spoke out after President Donald Trump insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

CNN Airs Montage Of Trump Praising Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens And Alex Jones After He Calls Them 'Losers' In Viral Rant

CNN aired a fitting montage after President Donald Trump launched a broad attack on several conservative media figures—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—accusing them of being “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.

Carlson urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Owens, formerly of Turning Point USA, condemned the administration as “satanic” and called on Congress to remove what she described as the “Mad King Trump.”

Woman Calls Out Company Over $300 Fee To Keep Photos And Videos Of Kitchen Renovation Off Internet

Social media has not only made information more accessible, but it's made it so much harder to preserve privacy.

For social media influencers, it's important for them to be as discreet as they can be about their living location and frequent places that they visit, because otherwise their followers and viewers could begin to piece together where they go and where they live.
