How often would you say that you’re actually amazed? Does it take an Oscar-winning film to wow you? Or a five-course dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant? Perhaps you just need to see your daughter do some cartwheels, and that’s enough to leave you stunned.
Most of us end up living relatively monotonous lives, so we can go weeks, or even months, on end without being especially impressed. But the truth is that there are fantastic things around us all the time; we just have to look for them. That’s why we took a trip to the Be Amazed subreddit. This community is dedicated to sharing mind-blowing photos and stories, so we’ve gathered some of their best posts below. Enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the ones that leave you feeling thoroughly astonished!

I am not from the US, and and I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but I do believe that Trump winning the election both times was rigged by foreign powers to completely destabilize the US. Just because they knew he'd be completely incompetent. He's committing warcrimes against his own country, and several others. Thankfully, he is so old that I will probably get to see his inevitable demise in my lifetime. And I like that part.

We all know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But amazement can be in the eye of the beholder as well. If you’ve never seen someone performing professional parkour tricks, you might be absolutely shocked the first time you see it. But if you witness that every day, you might become desensitized to it.
Part of what makes something particularly amazing is that we don’t get to see or experience it every day. What you find mind-blowing while on vacation in Thailand may be extremely boring to the locals. So if you want to bring more wonder and amazement into your life, you’ll have to make an effort to venture outside of your comfort zone and look for things that you don’t encounter every day. And if you need help doing that, the Be Amazed subreddit is the perfect place to start!

Everyone has unique talents and interests. Perhaps you’re an incredible baker, and everyone in your life loves your chocolate chip cookies. Or maybe you’re an absolute master of the electric guitar. Chances are, something that you’ve done or can do would be considered amazing by plenty of other people. So don’t hesitate to share your talents with the world!
Some of the posts on r/BeAmazed feature skills that individuals have clearly spent years perfecting. Whether that’s creating sculptures out of cardboard or filming amazing stop-motion videos, these talents are inspiring and extremely impressive. And if you don’t feel like you can do anything on that same level, don’t hesitate to pick up a new hobby! You’ll never know which activities you might instantly love if you never try.

If you’re currently not feeling inspired by anything in your life, it might be time to seek out some “amazing work.” According to Zen Habits, the best way to find amazing work that suits you is to first look at anything that has excited you in the past. If you know what you’re passionate about and what you’d enjoy committing your time and energy towards, start seeking that out.

My best friend is 28 and terrified of needles. For blood draws, I have to go with her and hold her hand to keep her from going into a full-on panic. This past time, I played videos of kittens playing on my phone, and it actually kept her calm.
Another great way to get inspired and find “amazing work” is to talk to others. Consult your closest friends and family members, and try to come up with ideas together. Perhaps they remember how you felt when you were working with animals or how passionately you feel about helping underprivileged children. Listen to their ideas, and let them guide you towards an exciting new chapter of your life.

Something to keep in mind, though, as you search for more amazing work in your life, is that it might take time to find something you truly love. You may want to experiment with a variety of different jobs and hobbies before landing on something you want to continue doing forever. Try different art classes, new fitness routines, and don’t be scared to try activities that you would have never considered previously. Life is unpredictable, and you really have no idea what will leave you feeling inspired until you find it.

The Tree Kangaroo Reappeared In New Guinea After Vanishing For 90 Years. The Ultra-Rare Wondiwoi Tree Kangaroo Was Last Recorded By Scientists In 1928
UnclePanda 2 days ago (edited)
I'm always struck by the hubris of humans calling animals extinct, when the best we can possibly know is that we haven't seen one in a long time. To be clear, in both cases concern and action are warranted, but "we ain't seen one" does not equate to "there ain't none left."

Yes and I recently saw a post stating "extinction isn't forever" which is incorrect. Sometimes species are incorrectly declared extinct. But creatures do not (naturally) return from actual extinction.

Not everything amazing is caused by humans, though. In fact, there are countless things that nature does that you might find incredible and inspiring. For example, did you know that trees actually communicate with one another? And have you ever heard that dolphins have names for each other? Meanwhile, bees are buzzing around and dancing to communicate. There are plenty of mind-blowing things going on at all times.

Snowy Owl Spotted In Michigan

Seems possible, because snowy owls tend to like airports. All the open space with grass is similar to the tundra they live in during the summer. At Boston's Logan Airport there's a guy that's been catching and relocating snowy owls for decades(?). You can find avideo at YT by searching for "snowy owls of logan airport".

The Owner Had Depression And I Cleaned Her Home For Free
Lukas (he/him, it/its) 2 days ago
I watch her videos on Youtube sometimes, she makes content on social media to bring awareness to mental heath conditions and uses the money she makes to continue doing the deep cleans. Cleaning brands often sponsor her and provide the cleaning materials for free and provide new furniture and such. (At least I think this is the channel I watch sometimes, it could be a different, similar one).

As an occasional sufferer I think this is brilliant, a clean, uncluttered environment can really help break the cycle (depression can take away your motivation, then you beat yourself up for not cleaning up, which makes you more depressed)

Nope. The "Byzantines" (the name is actually a 19th century invention) presented themselves as such for political reasons but the Eastern Roman Empire only claimed to be "Roman". Much like the Holy Roman Empire did much later. (Voltaire: "Neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.") Even Romanov Moscow claimed to be the "Third Rome" at one point.

According to the US Treasury Department, there is "no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment." So if the municipality accepts the coins, that's on them.
Bob Brooce 1 day ago
A municipality is a government entity, not a private business or organization. If they accept payments in cash they need to accept any type of cash, though there may be limits. Some courts have ruled that coins must be in standard rolls, and some courts have ruled that paying excessive amounts in coinage may qualify as disorderly conduct.
