     The deal is: You post a photo from 10 years ago and one from now. It’s like viewing a painting of Cronus eating his children, but online.

Not to be confused with Chronus (Chronos / Khronos). According to Plutarch, the Greeks believed that Cronus was an allegorical name for Chronos. (See   Chronos § Name on Wikipedia.Wikipedia )
