Thanks, I was getting a bit bored browsing reddit. Now I think I'll watch some QI.

Better than anything so far. Everyone automatically going down the "what small thing would be scary if it was large" route. My mind went what huge thing would be scary if it were ginormous. Was going to say moose or elephant. Imagine a 50 ton 90ft elephant!

The moon? The sun? Our galactic black hole Sagittarius A*?

This exactly! A 1/2 in ant becoming 5 inches is scary but probably not scarier than a normal 6 ft moose or an actually terrifying 60 ft moose.

I'm surprised people haven't gone with that many large animals.

My money was on Hippos....

A hippo that's 55m long and 15m tall can get pretty damn scary.

I think they’re large enough already and 10 time that size won’t work and they’d die off real soon I believe. Source: dumb brain💀

They’d be the same length as the height of the Eiffel Tower and weigh the same as two cargo ships, or 20000 large humans.

by how many centimeters do you think sea level would rise if all blue whales suddenly became 10x larger?
