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.

Awesomeness!
Ironically, this is a picture on the orange line in Boston, a city known for a history of racism. Not the lynching/burning crosses in yards kind of racism, but the casual, everyday racism that finds it acceptable to use the n-word and other racist terms in conversation without having to lower your voice or look over your shoulder first. It's the kind of racism where they say it and when it offends, they try to excuse it with "I didn't mean it like that..." or the ever popular "you get what I'm saying". Honestly, this guy is pretty brave to be wearing that hat where he is.
I agree to an extent, but that man is in no danger wearing a hat like that in Boston. Every city in the US has a history of racism and I'm pretty sure someone would get their a*s beaten for saying the n word on the T. Not a single town in MA voted for trump.
Load More Replies...I wore a shirt to a concert this summer that said, "Will trade racists for refugees." I actually got some mean stares from a few people. Unbelievable. On the positive side I got some smiles too.
Some folk may have been confused as to which way the trade was going. Maybe something like "Will trade (a bunch of our) racists for refugees. (Will throw in (literally) ex-president to sweeten the deal.)" to remove any doubt.
Load More Replies...When has racism not been wrong? It has been accepted for many years, yes that's true. It has never been correct.
That's my thought too. And why do people feel it helps to make statements on their clothing? They're not changing any minds either way.

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.

„Nah, you would have noticed as soon as you moved from that particular spot or rather you would have noticed before that, coming there. This kind of perspective 3D art only looks good at one particular spot“ is what I wanted to write, but then I would have surely got a „whoosh“, so….

That's stunning me. Does anyone know how take a clear pic of the moon? And any chance it's something I could get on my phone.
You most likely need a tripod. I don't have a cell phone, so I could be wrong, but buying a basic, inexpensive tripod wouldn't hurt. The slightest shaking, even if you think there isn't any, is always going to be there and for the speed and aperture settings you need for a moon shot, your camera has to be absolutely still.

You mean who's the baddest boy. What a rebel. Fight the power doggo!
Load More Replies...I really love dogs, as I’m a vet (and had a lot of foster dogs), but there is a good reason why there are dog-free beaches. First of all: some people are afraid of dogs, second: the annoying dog owners who don't clean up the poop of their dogs and then leave it (especially on the beach where you walk barefoot), just to name the major resons. The dogs whose owners do not have them under control not to mention. For me, there is a lot wrong with this picture and I find it more disrespectful than funny. But the dog is cute though. Like most of the time, the owner is the problem behind the picture.
We are not advocating for ignoring the sign, Wini Wimms. We are just enjoying the incongruity.

This artist posts on the Home for Peculiar Artists FB group and I always love seeing their work.
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.

Bonsai Tree Sold For $16,000 In Japan
Is it wrong to feel sad that these trees will never know what it's like to be towering leafy giants, or do they feel gigantic in their tiny forms? ( yes I get moments like this 😊 )
They probably have small tree syndrome and get all alpha at the big trees.
Load More Replies...I'm impressed that someone managed to keep that beauty alive for however many years it took to get it to auction. Glad that wasn't my responsibility!
It's stunning but who was the person who took years to create such beauty
Wowww just WOW!! The years and care that was put into making this... And it will continue to require a lot of care to keep it looking like that... Absolutely gorgeous!
It just needs the Spirit of the Forest and some kodamas from Princess Mononoke.
{Gasp}! Stunning! I can't imagine all of the work that went into that.
I couldn't keep my one and only bonsai tree alive. But then I also kill succulents. Artificial plants are about all I can handle.

Dandelion Fluffs In Epoxy Resin
Have a full forearm tattoo of dandelions. They're the first food for bees, make excellent salads, beer, and wine, are a wonderful source of vitamin E, and the stems can be lip gloss, in a pinch. They can also wreck a timeline, and make kids believe in wishes. I'll happily purchase this.
It's an interesting contrast. Dandelion fluff is sometimes used as metaphor for something fleeting, something that you appreciate for a moment before it drifts away. That's definitely what photos and movies convey with the slow drift out of focus. Seeing something so temporary preserved in time, forever suspended, is... I'm not sure of the right adjective.
How does it stay so fluffy and not get all droopy and bogged down by resin. Sooo cool.

Great photo. I hope stuff from the museum was saved. Small-town museums are just full of treasures.
Same here! I know of one small town museum (Manitoba, Canada) that had a World War 1 horse drawn ambulance that had been sent to Canada to train medics. The other 11 are in Britain and the museum there would just LOVE to get that one, but so far the answer had been no.

This Is An Emu Egg
Aboriginals would do carving into these eggs, some really stunning and rare emu egg carvings actually.
Do a web search for "The Unique Egg" in St George, Qld, Australia. Hundreds of hand-carved emu eggs on display. Good write-up on TripAdviser. Emu egg shells have a great number of layers; each a different shade.
I'm more impressed by kiwi eggs. They're off-white...but when you know the size
I have one, these are huge and the shell is so cool. Such beautiful colors and texture. I cherish mine.
I got one of these from a farm and it was beautiful. So I put it on my mantle. Where it stayed for 3 long years. When it finally fell, it was the most God awful rotten egg that ever existed. 20 years out I can laugh but I was traumatized for a while. I can still smell it 21 years and 1500 miles away. Ugh.
I think you are meant to blow the egg out of the shell first :)
