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.
There Was A Square Hole In The Sky
Lightning Struck My Home Gym And Left This Artifact Inside The Mirror
Bees Swarmed My Plant
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.

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
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
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!
Power Line Fell And Melted Sidewalk Into A Boiling Glass Puddle
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.
The Holes I Drilled In This Stump Are All Different Colors
Old Injury On Hand Now Gets Dirty Or Stays Clean Opposite To The Rest Of The Hand
Someone Left A Ducky On My Car
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.

I wonder why grapefruit juice and orange juice are listed twice.
The Difference Between A Trimmed Palm Tree And A Wild Palm Tree
The "American Garden" In The ‚gardens Of The World’ Exhibition In Berlin Is Simply An La Style Parking Lot
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.
Weird Rock Found In Backyard
That's a geode. If you bust it open, it will probably be full of some kind of crystal.
There Is A Waiver On My Receipt For Takeout Shawarma
People who enjoy the taste of shawarma with ketchup, would be my guess ;)
Load More Replies...DOND PUT ZE KETCHUP ON ZE SHAWARMA! and dond forget zaa bebsiiiii
Don't know why you got downvoted. You're just quoting the guy from the Shelby's videos. "I will make you someting bettah!"
Load More Replies...How about we all just let people eat what they want without giving them passive-aggressive or snarky comments?
I think it's meant to be in good fun. A parody of snark, if you will. "We hope this put a smile on your face" at the bottom.
Load More Replies...This is at Shelby's in London, Ontario. I myself was mildly entertained by it when I ate there. They must really dislike ketchup.
They have a youtube channel. A lot of their videos are funny skits about people putting ketchup on shawarma.
Load More Replies...I love these guys! "If it's not tight, it's not right, and don't forget the bebsi" Here check em out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxVuxiprEIOItdZlAhfz5MQ
There used to be this hole in the wall under the stairs type place that sold shawarma and it was sooooo good, unfortunately they closed. :(
As if this weren't funny enough, it turns out to be Canada 🇨🇦😂 Somehow I figured lol
I probably will be eating shawarma today. I love ketchup but not on a shawarma. The sauce is tasty.
First off, what is Shawarma & why dont you want to put ketchup on it? Second, please tell me this receipt isn't real!
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.
Load More Replies...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.

These posts remind us that we don’t need to always capture perfect-looking sunsets or selfies. We can also find joy in the imperfections around us. What do you think? Tell us about a somewhat intriguing picture on your camera roll!

Almost All My Store-Bought Strawberries Still Had The Flowers Attached To Them
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.

My Cats Keep Sniffing This Certain Spot On This New Hoodie. Multiple Cats, Only This One Spot On This One New Hoodie
Uhm, I know cats are very capable of smelling disease (to extreme accuracy!!) so maybe it's worth looking into where in your body the cats are sniffing, regardless of the newness of the hoodie....

Noticed My Pupils Are Two Different Sizes
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.

This is why I come and scroll through Bored Panda. Unique and interesting pictures of things that we otherwise would never see in real life. Can we please get more of this? :-)
I like your post, Nikita! All different images, and all new to me. Thanks!
