Our universe is fascinating, there’s no doubt about it. But learning everything about everything that’s happening around us is, unfortunately, not possible, no matter how keen we are. Learning bits and pieces on different topics, though, is a lot more doable.

Do you know what a hedgehog looks like when getting an X-ray? Or what happens to a cyclist’s leg after racing in the Tour de France? Chances are you weren’t interested in either before, but you ought to admit – you are a little curious now, aren’t you?
Well, if you are, what are you waiting for? Scroll down to find answers to both and much more below, where you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with professor of psychology at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio, Dr. Noam Shpancer, who agreed to delve deeper into why we find certain things interesting.

Gary Drostle’s “Fishpond” mosaic, is a renowned artwork that uses shadows to create a 3D effect, with “core shadows” shaping the koi fish and “cast shadows” linking them to the pond’s surface for realism.
Drostle, a celebrated mosaic artist, began this style with a 1996 commission for the London Borough of Croydon, later evolving the design by studying real koi ponds to capture water movement, as noted in his portfolio.
The use of shadows in mosaics, as highlighted, aligns with techniques described in mosaic guides, where artists avoid black or grey shadows, opting for darker background shades or complementary colors to enhance lifelike depth.

That's cool until you realize that these guys put Rudolph out of a job.

I like the guy in the yellow shirt just casually leaning on the bus that could go over a cliff depending on how deep that tree's roots go.

Funny, I was born with Chernobyl in 1986, and my son was born with the Fukushima disaster in 2011. I wonder what kind of nuclear wasteland will happen when he has a child?

Seen it happen IRL. I was biking home and I heard a crackling and started to feel static shocks through the handlebars. I'm like "WTF?" Then KAPOW! The tree above me got hit. I GTFO of there so fast.

If you've ever wondered where the ancient Greeks got the idea of Sirens luring sailors to their death, this is one actual theory.

No it's not. It's been there for ages and the buildings we've up around it which created the conditions for the fire effect. Pure coincidence yet it's been listed on BP over and over

Let me repeat: Leave them alone, don't go near them. If you just drop by to say hello, you'll probably k**l the whole tribe.

That looks horrible and extremely painful. After the race, do they just knock him out and then massage his legs?

1 Yen is worth about half a penny USD. Or it was last year. Might be a bit more now.

A wall one brick wide would fall over if it were straight. You have to go three or four bricks wide to make the wall stable. Or you can snakerail it. It's like how corrugated sheet metal is stronger than flat sheet metal.

The result of one of two things: either the ground in between the bricks having a higher freezing point than the bricks or, there being just enough grass/plants in the cracks to have an air gap between it and the ground (likely on a day where it's 1°C, but snowing), so the snow on the bricks melts, but the snow in the cracks doesn't. Source: from Ontario, was paperboy, saw this a lot.

That's Mena House, the King of Egypt's hunting lodge. Fantastic old place, when we were there in a group, some idiot tried to climb the Great Pyramid (too many people have been hurt or killed, so it's illegal now), so we wound up watching the fun and having a few drinks.

The Aquamen are a performance art duo from the Netherlands, known for their unique and often bizarre street performances. Their most iconic act involves wearing fishbowls on their heads, each containing live fish. The absurdity and surreal nature of the act draw attention from the public, turning ordinary spaces into stages for unexpected art performances.
The group tends to emphasize a sense of absurdity and strangeness in their performances, challenging traditional expectations of public space and art. Their work has been described as both whimsical and thought-provoking, using minimal props-like the fishbowls-to create surreal, sometimes unsettling, experiences. Through these performances, they encourage people to think about the environment, human interactions, and the often strange intersection of art and everyday life.
While the fishbowls have been a signature element, their work isn’t limited to just that. The Aquamen’s acts are designed to spark curiosity, wonder, and sometimes confusion, making passersby pause and question the meaning behind what they are seeing.
The group isn’t just focused on shock value; they often explore themes of human nature, vulnerability, and the absurdity of modern life, offering a form of performance that blends street theater with deeper social commentary.

Panapp is a Japanese ice cream snack
by Glico, known for its playful yet eerie transformation. It starts with a cheerful smiley face on top, created using fruit or chocolate sauce injected into the ice cream. However, as you eat, the design distorts, often forming unsettling or horror-like shapes.
This unintentional effect has fascinated consumers, turning Panapp into a unique treat that surprises with every bite. While some find it amusing, others see it as mildly creepy. Despite this, its delicious flavors and fun presentation make it a beloved dessert in Japan, enjoyed by kids and adults alike.

No they're not. I just checked with a dropper tool. The blue and red ones are actually closer than you'd think (like, the dropper is showing that they're basically the same color but the blue ones are grey? I don't know the words to explain this), but the green ones really are a completely different color.
