It might have never occurred to you, but you are an actual time traveler with the tiniest (according to my research on time hopping devices) gadget allowing you to embark on daily time journeys stuffed right in your pocket. Nonsense, you might say, but think of it this way - the closest way to time travel is opening the picture gallery on your smartphone and scrolling through a myriad of images that you've taken over the years. For example, see that cute photo of your dog when he was little? Or maybe a picture of the place that you used to visit? Or how about that selfie from years ago? Now, look at those places and faces today. Truly, these before and after pictures are essentially a tiny journey through time that allows you to see how things used to be and how they are now!
Since it's fun to see other people's experiences with this kind of traveling (or any old thing), we've constructed a fun list full of interesting before and after photos, covering a broad array of topics. From pet snails growing up (Hi, Gary!) to beaches before and after cleanup and people losing weight, we've got all the satisfying changes rounded up in one place. And you know what, I think this kind of time-traveling saves you a lot of hassle, too. There's no need to hunt for magic crystals essential for your device, no need to worry about fuel prices for your DeLorean, or concern yourself about getting stuck in Tudor times if your contraption fails!
Anyway, if the flux of eons is something you enjoy watching, scroll down below for our glorious gallery of before and after photos. Will you see ancient structures in these fun photos? Are there going to be people changing over a lifetime? Maybe some cute pets before and after a walk in a park? A triple yes is due here! So, no more talk - scroll down below to the visual part of our joined time journey, vote for the beautiful photo comparisons you like the most, and don't forget to share this article with your compadres!
