The "Op" Of This Lost Cat Poster Came Back And Posted An Update On The Harold Situation
He "returned"...so he came back of his own according and no one actually found him. Just out having a three month adventure?
The Guy Who Does The Grass For My Building Left A Rectangle Of Wild Flowers So The Bees Can Use Them
I wish everyone could/would do this. There is a man in my town that sued the local Code Enforcement Agency...and won!....but he refused to mow his yard until a certain date so that he could have wildflowers for the bees and butterfly during their peek honey season/butterfly migration. He is a beautiful old man.
I make a point to not mow until around June for just this reason. And even then, I've let about half my property revert so the critters have somewhere to go.
Is this rectangle the size of a human...? Either way, nice for the beeeeeezzzz!
As long as it doesn't obstruct the view of traffic, all verges and grassy areas of parks are left to grow wild here in our part of Germany now until summer is well underway and the early pollinators have had their fill. Usually they just mow a strip by the road/bike path to ensure a clear view of oncoming traffic and leave the rest.
They started doing that here too, fun seeing cornflowers and poppies in the city!

Awareness of environmental details and all the interesting things that happen around you is vital for any photographer, amateur or veteran alike. We were curious to find out how people can cultivate this awareness.
"Being aware of your surroundings comes from being able to disengage, at least in my opinion," photographer Dominic from Ohio explained to Bored Panda.
"Taking the time to disconnect from the world and be at one with nature (if that's where you are) is an asset that just takes time to get used to," he said that there are elements of practice and experience at work here.
My Dog And I Have The Same Hair
I used to get a 2 for 1 at our local groomer. I found getting my a**l glands expressed was a little awkward.
Load More Replies...I stared at that pic for 40 seconds before I could separate OP from the pupper.
I thought it was one of those joke-pics where there's actually a person underneath what looks like the coat of dog's fur.
Load More Replies...Our Cat Mia, Rests Her Front Paws On Her Tail To Keep Them Off A Cold Surface
She must be a descendant of the Pallas's cat 😉 Pallas's cats (manul cats) live in the snow and to protect their front paws from the cold snow they tuck their tail underneath them exactly like this. So cute.
Snow leopards keep their tail tip in their mouths to warm the air they breathe.
Load More Replies...My cat mando attacks his tail because he doesn’t realise it’s attached to him.
Every cat I've ever shared a life with does this. Their paws are incredibly sensitive. Ever watched a cat walking across a wet or cold surface? Extends one front paw. Averts gaze in disgust. Sets paw down. Immediately shakes paw. Advances forward. Sets next front paw... [Repeat]. Rear paws alternatively placed and shaken as the cat moves forward.
Also a sign of distaste even if they AREN'T walking across something icky.
Load More Replies...Cats are so smart and superior to other beings..look at those sweet little pawsies

Sometimes it’s utterly exhausting having so little faith in humanity.
Bored Panda also wanted to get the photographer's perspective on what can inspire people to relax and be less stressed about the entire process of photography as a whole. Enjoying oneself can be difficult for some creatives when they're so focused on getting the very best results possible.
Dominic opened up to us that having more fun is an area of his life where he's had to focus on improving himself. "Just taking photos for yourself and making sure you're enjoying what you're doing is what's important," he said.
"Life can be far too serious and it's always good to remember to have fun in all that you do," the photographer shared some heartfelt advice.

It’s an understatement to claim that the ‘Mildly Interesting’ online group is well-known online. It is one of the most popular internet communities out there, with a long history of sharing awesome content and inspiring its members to actively participate.
On the surface, the focus is sharing photos from everyday life. While some pics are just kinda sorta cool, others are incredibly aesthetic and could easily be called ‘wildly’ interesting.
First created exactly 13 years ago on February 5, 2012, ‘Mildly Interesting’ has grown to become a second home to a whopping 24 million members from all corners of the internet. A very happy birthday to the entire group!
Nappies In Sweden Have A Father On The Packaging
Wait. Are you saying that men never nap with newborns???
Load More Replies...In the UK they just have a baby... [Edit: actually, just checked, and it's a variety of baby, baby and mum, baby and dad. All groups represented!]
Yeah? I'm Swedish, but like, no shrek? Both parents take care of the kid, both made it. No?
Is it only or does anyone else think the baby's smile is a bit creepy? They often don't smile when they are that young. Maybe an involuntary facial movement yes but this one...
They do sometimes smile like this. Particularly when they're doing a poo - hence the nappy, I suppose.
Load More Replies...I remember when I lived in Germany in the late 1980's I saw a packet in the baby isle with the letters A B C on it, so I took a look to see what it was and had to laugh when I saw the were Anti Baby Condom!

At the time of writing, the group was the 22nd largest subreddit on Reddit as a whole. The concept is so popular that numerous other social media groups dedicated to mildly interesting content have since sprung up.
According to the large moderator team that keeps the group’s sprawling community and flood of photos in check, the entire point of the subreddit is to post mildly interesting stuff.
Aka, “Stuff that interests you. Mildly. It’s in the name.” Naturally, the point is to share photos of things. So, this isn’t the place to post memes that you liked.

My Hotel Phone In Iceland Has A Special Button That Will Wake You Up If There Are Northern Lights In The Sky
I like in southern England. Northern lights are very rare here. Decades ago, a friend phoned me one day and told me that he'd been up at 2 a.m. and seen them. Him: I figured you'd be asleep so didn't want to wake you up. Me: For future reference, WAKE ME UP!
Originality is a core tenet of the subreddit’s philosophy. The moderators highlight the fact that you aren’t allowed to post something that has been submitted to the site before, “even if you were the one who posted it.”
The only exception is sharing a fixed version of your post if it was removed or deleted by the moderators—or is wildly unpopular. After all, good timing is hard to pinpoint: some pics will get a ton of attention because you got lucky when you shared them.
The moderators stress the fact that if you didn’t take the picture, you shouldn’t be posting it. They’re also not big fans of images with significant photo editing. Nor should you share any personal information, whether yours or someone else’s. It’s okay to censor those details for the sake of privacy.
Meanwhile, you can’t share screenshots on ‘Mildly Interesting.’ And you should try to write the titles for your posts to be as concise and exact as you can be, for the sake of everyone who comes across your photos.

The Difference In Appearance Of This Nuthatch After I Found It vs. After A 2 Hour Nap In A Shoebox
The first picture is a young nuthatch and the second is an adult one. I believe it’s the same bird but definitely more than two hours between pictures.
Right. I don't think it's beak grew that much in 2 hours.
Load More Replies...During a previous interview with Bored Panda, one of the moderators explained to us that their focus on original photos is what helps them set their content apart from other internet communities.
“Our content is generated by our community and given that titles cannot be clickbait, there is a unique feeling of people seeing something mildly interesting, whipping their phone out of their pocket, capturing, and posting,” RedSquaree said.
Dad’s Relay Torch From The ‘84 Olympics

My Airplant Flowered!
Plants usually flower when they're stressed. It's a mechanism to want to hurry and reproduce. Not in all cases, but in several you don't typically see flower.

Load More Replies...I seen the story about this a long time ago. I think the house was built over a well and the owners didn't know until they remodeled the kitchen.
“The community feels very interactive (the content creators are all here) and laid back. This is probably why our comments sections are almost always nice and relaxed and, themselves, mildly interesting,” the moderator explained to Bored Panda earlier.

Load More Replies...My sister would adore that, ill send her the picture rn edit: she said "gimme"
According to them, they had to expand their moderator team as the number of submissions “massively increased.” That—plus their no-tolerance approach toward clickbait—has been part of the reason why the sub continues to be so successful. Having a higher bar for the quality of the content is a great thing.

My Child That Was Born Last Week Has Natural Blonde Highlights
She will be kicked out of school one day for colouring her hair by a religious zealot cumquat
A religious zealot cumquat once chastised me for playing jazz on the church's Hammond organ after I completed repairing it. He said the bible calls Jazz the music of the devil! Jazz was created in the early 1900's. I am pretty sure the bible writers never heard jazz.

My Antidepressant Is Actually 12 Smaller Pills In A Trench Coat
One of the reasons why those mini-tablets are filled into a capsule could be that they have different release profiles. For example, some of them release the API (d**g; Edit: drūg) immediately while others have a functional coating layer, which allows the API to be released over the course of several hours. The reason behind this is to keep a constant concentration/blood level of the API.
Thanks for the information. Too many things are taken for granted, and medications are one of them.
Load More Replies...Yup, I remember opening them to find this out because of the weird rattle!
Usually in my experience capsules have powder... how intresting

An Mri Room Under Construction, Coated With Copper Wallpaper
Those machines generate so much EM radiation that can only be operated within a Faraday cage. Otherwise they'd disrupt all the radio and Wi-Fi in the building. They play hell with I-phones especially but that's because they are cooled with liquid helium and any Apple device that uses a MEMS actuator as a clock can get bricked by a dose of helium.
Actually, a Faraday cage is ineffective against magnetic field, which is generated by MRI magnet. The copper shielding is used to prevent OUTSIDE radio frequency electromagnetic noise from ENTERING the MRI apparatus and distorting the scanning results.
Load More Replies...It's the BP site that does that. The original headline on the Reddit site has MRI correctly. I also learnt if you mistype algorithm as algarithm you get to learn about plant based omega 3.. :-)

Local Funeral House Offers A $85 Cardboard Casket
Why do you need a wooden one if you're being buried?
Load More Replies...For an added $5 they'll print it with warnings: this way up, maximum stack 4 coffins, etc.
Or, for $20 less, it comes with an Amazon logo!
Load More Replies...I had a check of that and it looks like $85 is super cheap. They are reinforced cardboard and as one article put it.. "Why are cardboard coffins so expensive? The market for caskets is tiny, at most people will only buy one their whole life. So the economies of scale around manufacturing, shipping, and warehousing that exist for a Home Depot mass-market bookshelf don't exist. It's more of a specialty item and those are always expensive".9 Feb 2021 :-)
Load More Replies...When you die, use the cheapest method you can. Do not give money to the funeral industry. That industry is so corrupt. Google the Order of the Good Death for more information.
These are for cremations. Which annoyed people to find out the last time this image was on BP a few months back. At that time, someone was trying to claim it was the only option for the 'poor'. Cardboard boxes for cremations is seen as an inexpensive alternative to cremating the wooden coffins. That way, a person can rent a coffin for a viewing, then when it comes time to cremate the body, it's transferred into one of these.
I don't think there is a transferring as such. One of the suppliers of cardboard coffins showed the cardboard one inside a fancier 'display' casket which is hired for the viewings.
Load More Replies...My husband would go for this. He's so practical and believes in becoming nature in his passing.

The Stark Difference Between A Kroger And Farmers Market Strawberry
Straight from the strawberry plant on a warm day!
Load More Replies...Hot house, vs non hot house. Basically, places like Kroger's (and most grocery stores), purchase from farmers who use hot houses (green houses) to grow things like strawberries, tomatoes, green onions, and a host of other plants. This keeps the prices down, and allows them to have the produce year round. If they went through a farmer's market, or direct from a farm, the quality would be better, but the fruits would be seasonal, and quite often, out of stock simply because the overall volume required couldn't be met.
Anyone know what the difference in growing/care is to get the berries to look like the ones on the bottom?
The difference between the two strawberries above are the time on the vine to ripen. Commercially picked Strawberries are picked earlier off the vine to last longer. That's all the difference is, they pick them earlier to help the travel. Without going too far into it, there's less oxygen in the white part which slows the aging.
Load More Replies...It has been a long time since I had a proper strawberry. I would grow them, but they use a lot of water.

And if you count it as a truck there's the Jeep gladiator/Cyber truck AlSO - For the environmental side - The average gas MPG for a 1985 Toyota is 16-18. The newer FULL size get 20-24. So this dad has been creating a larger carbon footprint in fuel consumption...

For those curious, this is because of sap pockets, or spots of rot.
If you look at the rings, it could also be because many large trees srout from the same root but as many saplings, then they eventually grow into one another, forming a large tree in the end. The different colors would then be the wether he hit the saplings, the bark inbetween or new growth fibers that fill in.

So obviously, we now need to look into fireproofing structures by coating them with this "American Cheese".
So am I now fireproof after my gilled cheese sandwich?
Load More Replies...Actually, it is. "American Cheese" is a blend of cheddar cheese, milk, and oil. The only reason it came about was, prior to its invention, it was very difficult to ship cheese cross country. The cheese would spoil (we're talking primarily cheddar cheeses), grow mold, or dry out when being shipped. The inventor of the cheese worked out a way to prevent this from happening, while also sealing it into convenient single use packages. Those single use packages meaning you didn't have a block of cheese go bad before it was all consumed.

I always thought that the reason for the pattern was to make drivers keep concentration and to reduce speeding.
Our little city made all the main roads into curves. My guess is so they would slow people down. Me, I just practice how fast I can drive them.
Load More Replies...It follows the canal path and on Miccosukee Tribal Land so the water ways and land would be protected. The bottom of the photo is W State Rd 84 and I-75
Load More Replies...My maternal family used to refer to them as "pig trails". Many of the roads are paved over trails the Native Americans tread many years ago following the natural topography of the area. The Ocoee River Road in Cleveland Tennessee is a great example of that. This looks like it could have been formed that way.
I appreciate that but it looks way too regular to me. Plus that looks like farmland to me and when you get out into rural America, the roads tend to follow the section lines of the old farmsteads.
Load More Replies...Snake Road to the Big Cypress Reservation. In the 60's Claudia (Lady Bird) Johnson went on a nationwide campaign to beautify America's roadways. When this road was commissioned she thought a straight line thru the swamp wasn't very pleasing so curves were incorporated into the design. The waterway are canals dug to provide fill for the roadbed.

Why they don’t build parking lots that are covered and topped with solar panels? Protect the cars from the sun and generate electricity at the same time?

Big Snail I Found. Foot For Scale
Probably. There are different species. As far as I know keeping them as a pet in the US is prohibited because they are a danger to agriculture and also like to eat the Calcium-containing exterior plaster of houses. (In Europe, or at least Germany, they are not regulated pets, as it is assumed that the winters get cold enough to eradicat any population of the previous year).

They're not very good nest builders because they would normally nest on cliff ledges, places like that, so all they would need would be a few twigs to stop any eggs falling off the ledge. Therefore they never learned how to build a conventional nest

Love it. I'm not allergic to scents but I have a very "good" sense of smell and encounter unbearably smelly people regrettably often.

In my youth, I was playing with a glider (about 4 feet across), mostly made of expanded polystyrene, about 50 metres from the edge of a cliff overlooking the English Channel.
