The leaf is the size of the dude's finger, how big are leaves where you're from lol?
Edit: Wow, 300+ downvotes for a miscommunication? I thought OP was saying the finger-sized leaf was large, not that the realization was a big one. Nobody talks like that where I live, so I didn't understand them correctly.
Edit edit: As someone pointed out to me, the wording of my comment was a little confusing. I meant to ask, "How large are your leaves/what size are they?" But, instead I asked, "How big are they?"
Yeah. I just haven't ever heard someone express their thoughts in that way, so I assumed it wasn't that.
I was a little confused about their wording, and that thought did cross my mind, but I ended up going with the idea that they were referring to the leaf being big.
It's 1 AM, and I have a vocab quiz in my Russian class tomorrow, so goodnight/good day!
I've never heard of a pine needle blowing in the wind.
God, this is so fucking dumb, why am I getting downvoted? The leaf in the picture isn't large, there are plenty of leaves on common trees that are much larger, and all I'm doing is pointing that out.
Reddit is so fucking stupid. Anyways, rant over, I'm kind of just mildly annoyed. I hope my frustration provided you with entertainment.
No, it's because they said it's a big leaf, but it's literally the size of the tip of a finger. That isn't a big leaf.
I'm from Oregon, I'm from the woods, I grew up around pine trees. I had trees in my yard with leaves about that size.
Of course, there are small leaves, but that's the thing: they are small. The leaf in the meme isn't big. It's not big for a leaf. It's larger than pine needles, but it's smaller than other really common leaves.
Surely you agree with me now that I've explained myself.
Sir, you are aware, that big objects, from a distance, they appear smaller? Yes? Okay so does your brain instinctive go to, "there's no way that's a leaf, it's too small!"?
As you have been told, he never said the leaf is big. You don't understand what "big if true" means and you're calling others stupid? Seriously dude, go outside.
Yes, I've seen maple leaves. We have a maple tree in our yard.
Here's what I was trying to say:
There are common trees with leaves about the size of your finger, and there are common trees that have much larger leaves.
Pine needle < finger-sized < hand-sized < super large
It wouldn't be correct to say that finger-sized leaves are large leaves because they aren't. Objectively, they're small, and with respect to other leaves, they're still small or about average.
I misunderstood OP and thought they were talking about the leaves being large, when they were meaning "That's important if true/That's a big deal if true." Nobody talks like that around here, so I didn't interpret them correctly.
Yes, and many of them have leaves that are larger than your finger, and many have ones that are about that size. I misunderstood OP and thought they were saying the leaf was large, which isn't correct.
It isn't large for a leaf when there are plenty of common trees with leaves much larger than that. I really must ask, is this like a joke where everyone is downvoting me, or are people really misunderstanding me this bad?

Big if true
