50 Times People Saw Something ‘Mildly Interesting’ And Knew The Best Group To Share It In (New Pics)
The world around us is endlessly fascinating. Granted, some things are more interesting than others and might blow our minds. But mildly interesting facts have made a name for themselves as the favorites of the internet. They're not about anything groundbreaking, but they're interesting still.
For example, did you know a banana is technically a berry? I bet you can find this and similar mildly interesting facts on the subreddit dedicated to sharing pictures of just them. This list is for the times you don't want to be too shocked or fascinated. Some mild excitement will do.

The Mildly Interesting community is quite legendary at this point. With its 24 million members and almost 13 years under its belt, they're clearly doing something right. Or perhaps they just hit the internet jackpot: people don't want to be wowed all the time, they don't want superlatives.
Sometimes, somewhere in between exciting and boring is just as good. Still, it's interesting to explore how these things happen, so, let's go through some of these mildly interesting objects together in no particular order, shall we?

One of the mildly interesting pics from the group is the bell pepper with a bunch of baby peppers inside it. It's not unusual for peppers to have little carbon copies inside them. That's called "internal proliferation." This usually happens inside ripe or overripe bell peppers but is most prominent in the ones that have been picked unripe and ripened artificially with ethylene gas.
The baby pepper is edible and should taste the same as its mama. And peppers aren't the only victims of internal proliferation. This can happen to other fruits and vegetables as well, such as tomatoes, eggplants, oranges, and many others.

How about that picture of the gorgeous Atlas moth? They're one of the biggest insects in the world, their wingspan stretching to 27 centimeters (nine inches) across. Their caterpillars are very hungry (probably due to their size) and spend almost their every waking second eating, but the moths themselves don't feed at all after emerging from the cocoon.

Cats might undergo a change in the color of their fur as they grow into adulthood, did you know that? And no, it's not because they're getting old and grey. Some breeds, like the Himalayan, Siamese, and Burmese might have a genetic mutation that makes their fur darken in the winter months when there is less sun exposure.

This person found a tiny pearl in an oyster they were eating. Experts estimate that the chances of that happening are one in 10,000. And even if you find a pearl in your dinner the next time you eat a mollusk, it's unlikely it'll have any monetary value. Most pearls people have found in food are too tiny to be worth a fortune.

My Local Costco Is Now Selling Otc Birth Control
Tiffany Marie 11 hours ago (edited)
I get mine free at planned parenthood. I live in California. I'm still surprised they've been shut down across the US. You get a years supply up front. I actually take it for unbearable pain over pregnancy anything. It's to help me function during my time of the month. I mean the clinic is good for a lot of reasons 🤷 everyone is like no abortions so shut them down and everyone else can suffer too. They test me for cancer. Not that I could afford cancer treatment anyhow if I had it. But for a person without insurance it's nice to go and get free birth control that helps me not be bed ridden for 5 days a month. It's like.. well, at least I have this.

I don't know about you, but I'd file the bathrooms at Mammoth Cave National Park under something more than mildly interesting. The national park is home to the largest-known cave system in the world and has over 600,000 visitors every year. The tile work in the bathroom complements the natural rock surface of the cave beautifully, and the bathroom itself is 275 feet below the ground.

One Redditor shared an interesting beverage: a foam beer they got served in Japan. That's actually a thing from the Czech Republic, which people refer to as "milk." Don't worry, there's no dairy in it; it's just a technique of pouring beer. You're supposed to drink it quickly before it melts back into ordinary beer. People says it tastes sweet and creamy, but I'll have to get back to you with that one once I try it myself.

The Mildly Interesting subreddit also sees some disasters from time to time, like this leaking Himalayan salt lamp. It's actually pretty normal for these lamps to leak water. Salt lamps draw moisture from the air, and if they're in very humid environments, they will eventually leak. In some cases, a leaking Himalayan salt lamp is a sign of authenticity!

This person had their house burn down, but the American cheese in the fridge, apparently, made it out just fine. People like to say that it's because of plastic or some mysterious chemicals in it, but Kraft claimed it's because their cheese only melts at lower temperatures. That's because of the emulsifiers which they use to bind the proteins and the fat in the cheese.

My GF Captured The Exact Moment The Lights Changed Colour At The Concert
WindySwede 18 hours ago
Reddit "The speed of light is much to fast for a camera to capture it like this. What's actually happened is you have a multi-shot HDR mode enabled where the camera takes several pictures and blends them together. The lights changed between one of the shots so the camera didn't quite know what to do when blending the shots. When cameras do capture the moment light changes it looks like this" se link on reddit.

A word of caution for people with pets. Do NOT get a salt lamp. They may start licking it and since it makes them thirsty they keep doing it until they acquire salt toxicity.
