Not everything in life needs to be a grand spectacle. If we keep chasing only the so-called perfect things in life, we might miss out on our surprisingly captivating surroundings. If we look closely, we will find joy in the small, slightly interesting things around us.
And the ‘Mildly Interesting’ subreddit has managed to do just that. The goal of this group, which boasts an amazing 24 million members, is to share pictures that are not exactly 'wow' but somewhere in the middle of being intriguing and boring.

Imagine if everything in life was fascinating and mind-blowing. You visit a restaurant, and all the dishes they serve are scrumptious. Every song you listen to is soulful and catchy. Any dress you buy looks like it’s meant for a fashion show.
While the idea of everything being perfect sounds appealing, it’s not always the case. If we live in a world where everything is flawless, we will have very little motivation to do innovative things or improve ourselves or grow personally and professionally.

Underground Nest Of Garter Snakes At A Friend's House

They look kinda cute for nope ropes, and since they're not danger noodles there's no harm in letting them live there right?
Self-improvement is possible when we work on things that we are doing incorrectly. If you believe that everything you do is phenomenal, you will never feel the need to improve yourself. Let’s say you are working on an office project with your team.
You think you have done everything faultlessly. Because of this, you are not taking productive suggestions from your colleagues and are not even listening to their ideas that might be better than yours.

My Antidepressant Is Actually 12 Smaller Pills In A Trench Coat
Na Schi 5 months ago
Pretty standard - especially when it comes to sustained release coated dosage forms. That way, e.g. dose dumping can be prevented if one of the smaller units get damaged. However, probably mildly interesting for all the people who have no connections to the pharmaceutical industry.

The Stark Difference Between A Kroger And Farmers Market Strawberry
Blue Bunny of Happiness 5 months ago
Supermarket strawberries as with most of their fruit and veg are bred to look good, be more resilient whilst being transported/increase display time and taste is a less important factor. Looking at you supermarket tomatoes! The varieties of strawberries I grow in my garden taste so much nicer than the supermarket ones. Unfortunately, the slugs agree so it’s mostly supermarket ones for me!

It’s a possibility that our drive for creative expression might be stifled in a perfect world. Let’s say you tried your hand at painting, and everything you made was a masterpiece. In this case, you do not feel inspired to draw something new. Many of our creative endeavors are inspired by our imperfections.
If you make something that doesn’t look too good, you are tempted to keep trying. In the process, you sometimes come up with bright new ideas as well.

If things are not okay-ish, mediocre or incomplete, we might start taking everything for granted. The existence of flaws and struggles truly helps us appreciate beauty, success, and happiness in life. For instance, if every strawberry you eat is sweet, you might not feel that excited about buying berries. You will not be able to appreciate the yumminess of seasonal fruits.

Think about a world where everything is perfect, where everyone dresses flawlessly and every product feels and looks the same. If there is so much uniformity, it will diminish diversity and individuality. We learn from and grow from our mistakes. It’s our unique perspectives and flaws that contribute to the richness of the human experience.

Perfection can also lead to monotony. Imagine scrolling through only impeccable-looking photos that lack character and personality. Without goofiness, flaws, and emotions, a photo can be quite boring and unfulfilling. That is why it’s important that we appreciate even the mildly interesting things around us.

Additionally, if we aim for perfection all the time, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves. We should accept the fact that not everything we do will be top-notch. Sometimes we might fail completely, or we might make a lot of mistakes. The important thing is to enjoy ourselves in the process and learn from our shortcomings.

That must be some other kind than I'm used to. The flower petals normally drop before the berry even turn red. And yeah, I know it's not a berry but a part of the trunk with miniature nuts on it.

Noticed My Pupils Are Two Different Sizes
Tammy Grogloth 5 months ago
Go to the Dr. ASAP. Noticed mine were a few years ago and found out I have a cyst in the pineal gland of my brain. Neuro has been monitoring it with MRI'S for years and it's not growing or getting any smaller. Assures me nothing needs to be done unless it grows. Also told me that a lot of people have them and go through their whole life not knowing. They are only found when an autopsy is performed. Good luck.
