It's hard to impress people who spend a lot of time on the internet. However, one subreddit manages to catch the attention of even the most degenerate, I mean, experienced users.

It's called 'Mildly Interesting,' and it's full of super long puppy whiskers, creative glass designs, rare genetic conditions, and other captivating things its members came across in everyday life.

Sure, the pictures might not be as crazy as the ones posted on 'Oddly Terrifying,' but they don't have to be shocking to make an impression.

Products from a Safeway store in the USA. The food banks here are actually very good, if you'll go to the trouble to go to one. You can go any working day here and get food at the donation center. That bread is expensive, as are the Jimmy Dean pork products in boxes.

+ as a neighbouring topic ... at both my Grandmas' houses, I stopped mowing once the last demanding it died or moved away. They're flourishing paradises during summer, everywhere are little beasts doing their minijungle stuff, every day, some other (wild-) flower is blooming, or finishes to do so - it's beautiful! How people can invest precious time to HINDER it, even further than our human acitivities already do just a side effects, is beyond me. Why should I spend an hour mowing on a wrinkled batch of surface, just so it appears less natural, less alive, and less life-allowing, life-giving even? All those bees that live under ground ... the wasp spiders, that huge reddish spider I fail to recognize, ... weren't there, would I mow. Mowing sucks, aside from 2...3 times per year to allow for late bloomers to grow, but then - not the entire yard, just like half of it, and leaving island of unmolested nature inbetween. That, I do. Some years. Last year, no mowing whatsoever.

This is awesome if it works for you. The main issues many people have with this option is that the homeowner doesn't remove invasive weed species and they take over neighboring lawns, secondarily, if you live in an area that is prone to wildfires, the extra fuel provided by tall grasses and overgrown plants is not good.

Dandelions are cool, and fully edible, you can even make a coffee from the roots.

And you can make dandelion wine or liquor. I once accidentally found out, I tried making yellow in with them. Gathered some, boiled them and put some vinegar to it. Used it and put the rest of the liquid away. A year later I have across it again. Fully expecting it to smell horrible, I opened it and found it smelled nice. Spicy. I didn't taste it though but it made me look up if you could make something with it. I started gathering more and put them in the freezer, but it's a pita to collect only the yellow bits... Do never got enough to try and make wine.

Yes, this. Other weed killers, such as Kleenup and Imitator Plus, also use the same poison as Roundup (Glyphosate) and therefore also probably cause cancer.

If having a “perfect” lawn means regularly pouring poison on the ground, then maybe it’s a dumb idea.

And they only mow their half. Our neighbours with a shared lawn did exactly that, despite our doing the whole area every time we mowed. When I started ripping out the grass on our side to create a garden bed they started cutting it all. I think they were hoping we'd keep the grass but honestly it just makes taking it out easier.

Lay out cardboard (flattened big boxes are good, but some inks are toxic...) on top of the grass. No need to pull it out. put a layer of compost on top to keep it in place and humid. Sow whatever seeds you want. Voila. Easy eco gardening

I welcomed the weeds that I thought of as wild flowers. Take dandelions. When bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are first emerging in the early spring, these "weeds" are just about the only option for them to collect vital nectar. Put the weed killers down. We've done enough damage.

IMO, living next to someone who is obsessed with their lawn is a nightmare. I'm currently in that situation. My neighbor mows her grass everyday, and practically lives in her yard. She thinks everyone should be held to her standards. She's also retired, and has nothing else to do. She thinks she owns the street.

We don't use weedkiller either, because we want to encourage the bees, butterflies and birds to come to our garden. Weedkiller would poison them.

Dandy-lions are great early food for honeybees and bumblebees. Sometimes they're all that can keep a colony going until more diverse flowers bloom. By early summer most are long gone. Autumn's blossoms are usually more sparsely scattered than early spring's.

Lawns are such a huge waste of water. I love the idea of people turning their yards into a naturalized landscape - wildflowers (butterfly, bee & hummingbird attracters) and maybe a veg patch. Our old neighbor pulled the sod completely. It took a few years, but it was gorgeous. A riot of colors, textures and edibles. It was pretty impressive.

If I did that my lawn would be solid burrweed. And the stickers stay in kids and dogs feet. So I kill the burrweed. If my lawn looked like that I wouldn’t use weed killer either.

I have a patch of clover in my front lawn that 2 ducks would come around to nibble on and naturally would leave duck poop here and there. My neighbour didn’t like the poop on her driveway and let it slip in conversation one day that she sprayed the clover with weed killer. I still have clover and the ducks are still healthy. Last time I saw them they had a small family in tow.

In the UK at least, we have two groups of bumblebees, short tongued and long tongued. Having both colours is great because the white flowers are too deep for the short tongued bees. Both means everyone gets fed.

It is part of a collectors special comemorative set. They are normal quarters gold plated and then hit with a laser on the back raised areas to make the gold have the foil holo effect it was done as a selling point. So the as seen on tv sellers could charge more. So bottom line a stupid thief, child, crack head, or senile family member. Broke a sealed plastic collectors display to pull out the money to spend it at face value instead of the fine uncirculated decorative value it was. Probably not worth much more than a quarter but it probaly is worth a dollar or 2. Most state quarters in extra fine good shape are worth .50- 2.00+ so as everyone spends those keep this in mind if they are in new uncirculated shape they are worth about 3 dollars.

Evaporation lines. Once the liquid evaporates the lines on the test become visible regardless if it’s positive or negative. That is why all these types of tests have a “Do not read after X minutes” warning on them.
