41 “That’s Awesome” Kind Of Things People Came Across And Shared In This Dedicated Online Group
The internet was originally created for military purposes, and later expanded to be a communications tool for researchers and the like. But we all know that the guys behind the project knew its ultimate goal was so folks could share awesome stuff on it.
And as soon as folks figured out how to make that work, Reddit came around and eventually so did r/Awesome. r/Awesome is a dedicated community, currently with around 1 million members, that shares everything that its members think is awesome.
Whether it’s something they found in real life or on the internet, something they themselves or their friends created, or even experiences of any caliber—it finds its way to this subreddit for everyone to partake in and enjoy.
We’ve gone through the subreddit in search of the best of the best things people found that just had to be shared, and compiled a list of them which you can find below. And if you’re going that way, give your favorites an upvote, comment, and share this article with your friends if you think your relationship with them is awesome.

If you’ve been diligent in reading this article, you’ll already more or less know what r/Awesome is all about.
But in case you missed it, r/Awesome is a lovely part of Reddit (a social news aggregation, content rating, and discussion website) that is dedicated to all things awesome.
No, seriously, there are effectively very few limitations as to what you can find there. The description says that it is a subreddit “for everything that is awesome!” and the only rule the moderators are asking folks to follow (apart from the technical no gore, no smut, and no screenshots requirement) is to post “things that are incredibly rare or cool, not some ordinary cats, chicken, scenery, drawings or t-shirts etc., they are not awesome…”
Sure, you can argue with the chicken part, but the content is ultimately up to the users to judge. More or less.

In general, the subreddit is home to mostly visual content. This ranges from people’s personal artistic endeavors and creations to feel-good and positive news to places people visited and were left in awe by to just regular memes and impressive things found around the internet.
Much of it has a positive twist to it—in the vein of restoring faith in humanity, or humans being bros to each other—but in other cases it will be things that most don’t see or even think about, a certain kind of new experience that is, at the very least, interesting and satisfying.

These Watches Called Zalzach Were Initially Designed For Blind People... You Can Tell The Time By Touching The Two Magnets
I'm not blind, but I want one! I keep breaking mine..and this seems that won't be a problem..
Having little dots come up to recreate the numbers would be much more considerate of their culture. Could also look cool (because blind people care), but for the seeing ones :)
The number is Braille I meant to write. Going great.

This is SO incredibly cool - but, and this is an honest question, I keep looking but don't know - but how can you tell AM vs PM?
I would check the original post for more info, if it's not already a repost. I'm just guessing, but I think the magnets move around their respective tracks to point out the minutes and hours the way watch hands do. The magnets are raised so they're tactical, easy to locate by touch and compare to the ring that notes hours and 5 minute intervals. A beloved relative of mine had a watch where the time was displayed in braille - I have absolutely no idea how it worked but it was very cool.

This is very cool but I have to ask: if you were born blind, how would you know where the numbers are on the clock/watch and what they mean? You likely wouldn't have been taught how to tell time the same way sighted people were.
True, but most people who are legally blind still have some residual vision (I've seen blind people demonstrate examples of how that might look and what people different types of blindness may or may not be able to see.) Teaching the idea of an analogue clock is partially fractions, partially learning what each hand means, and partially learning how to recognize the positions, which is definitely the hardest bit to learn without a visual reference. Lots of people can't do it easily these days even with perfect vision. Depending on the type of vision loss, a person may be able to see a very large or enhanced contrast clock and could learn from that, or they might have been given a tactile clock to learn from. It's a bit of a challenge, but not an impossible one. There are high contrast watches, braille watches, and asking your phone what time it is, but everything will work best for different people and this is a really nice and stylish option. Plus it works in pitch darkness
