The 'Mildly Interesting' subreddit is full of captivating things that people come across in everyday life.

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.

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.

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.

This is at Shelby's in London, Ontario. I myself was mildly entertained by it when I ate there. They must really dislike ketchup.

Unless you are planning on stealing someones food, why does anyone care about the condiments? Can we all agree to stop shaming people for enjoying a thing that is literally required to stay alive?

As a Dutch person, my first thought was 'Who writes shoarma as shawarma? That is so weird!" But after looking it up, I have to conclude that we Dutch people are the weird ones, because apparently shawarma is a very common spelling and shoarma isn't.

I would be more concerned with the quality and safety of the ketchup served there. They make it sound like they poison it.

Trump would order ketchup for his shawarma, but would get horribly frustrated if he had to read the waiver. Just kidding. Trump would never order a shawarma.

The only bad thing that will happen to you from eating shwarma with ketchup or (even catsup)in public is that you will be ridiculed. It is similar to putting mayo on a pastrami sandwich.

Shawarma is a common spelling in the U.S., and I suspect it is in Canada as well.

I feel like this isn't legal. Surely food sold for consumption must be required to have the assumption that it's safe.

It's a joke. The joke is that, as the commenter below noted, most people wouldn't put ketchup on shawarma, and a lot of them would consider it pretty gross and against cultural tradition - note the 'Last Warning' above the fake legal stuff - so the waiver is exaggerating for effect. 'If you do that, all kinds of terrible things could happen and we aren't responsible!' They're not saying the food is unsafe, they're saying, "Look, we aren't going to stop you, but in our opinion, this is gross and we think it ruins the food, and we will definitely judge you for doing it."

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.
