We often forget what a wondrous world we live in. While getting caught up in our hectic schedules makes us oblivious to things around us, today we're gonna zoom in on the unseen and unnoticed side of things.
So welcome to Bored Panda’s amusing collection of the most fascinating and rarely seen objects, beings, places, occurrences, and everything that will bring out that inner curious child we have inside.
From a macro shot revealing the density of penguin feathers to rainbow cloud spotting, this is something you only see in a video game. Or if you open your eyes and pay attention. Psst! More incredible photos of rarely seen things can be found in our previous posts here, here and here.

This Is What Sunset Looks Like From Space
Even in times of scientific and technological advancements, our beautiful planet remains full of mysteries. From the incredible bismuth crystal that looks like it came from some sort of sci-fi film to the enchanting glowing forest in Japan with its luminescent mushrooms scattered along the forest floor, there are so many exquisite finds on Earth. They make us question how much about the place we inhabit we don’t really know.
Some of the most standout mysteries that have been captivating the imagination of many throughout the years include Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. The structure consists of a ring of standing stones, with each stone standing approximately thirteen feet high, seven feet wide and weighing 25 tons. It’s believed to have been built about 5000 years ago, but scholars still do not agree on what its purpose could have been.
Another mysterious object is the stone spheres found in Costa Rica, located on the Diquis Delta and on Isla del Cano. There are over three hundred petro spheres scattered throughout the country that are still considered a great, unsolved archaeological mystery. The heaviest of them weighs many tons, and they’re believed to be made of granodiorite.

Sendai Daikannon, One Of The Tallest Statues In The World
I am fascinated by the optical effect of the design. The statue is not at full body length, it's around 3/4, missing the bottom 1/4. This makes the brain believe that the statue goes lower (like if the legs of the statue extended down), therefore it's perceived longer than it actually is. How cool!

$12,000 Worth Of Cancer Pills
That's disgusting. Charging so much for life saving medication is sick and twisted.
In Finland you'd pay maybe 20€ for those, and the government pays for the rest. That's public healthcare for ya.
My mother has cancer. She has had 6 rounds of chemotherapy loads of different tests for all different things done and I can't tell you how many tablets and injections 2 long stays in hospital and a nurse that comes around to the house every couple of weeks and it hasn't cost her a penny as Cancer care if free in Ireland.
in fact, it is not free anywhere ;) it is just a social system, that allows us to protect patients from choosing between health and money, america is insane..

They cost 12,000 in USA maybe, elsewhere they are covered by healthcare ....
They are ridiculously expensive, even when a state has to pay for them. I think that is problematic, even when they are used in a public healthcare system that could spend the money on something more productive than lining the pockets of some medicine company. Even in a public healthcare system, there is a limited budgets they have available to do the most good with. Spending a large portion of the budget on medicin, means that the service has to be reduced somewhere else, and the bill for overpriced medication still ends at the taxpayers. I think there should be a cap on how much companies can charge for life-saving drugs, as making a fortune on other people's misfurtune is just not right; especially when people die due to lack of ability to pay an absurd amount of money that is totally out of alignment with the production cost.

That is so unfair. Health care is a basic human right. Every country, let alone developed ones, should provide it for free. In Italy this would cost 0 euros to the patient.
That sounds good and all..but if that were the case this medicine never would have been developed. While I am certain pharma gouges prices, there are tremendous costs involved with creating some treatments..especially for rarer diseases where there won’t be a lot of sales to offset the R and D. While it is nice and we do have subsidized healthcare for those who can’t afford their own health care..we have done well by using employer matched health insurance to offset the high costs of certain medicines. And at the same time we have the most robust, most advanced treatment options in the world. I think public healthcare is a great option for many countries but if you didn’t have the US private sector of medical..you would struggle mightily to obtain drugs for rarer conditions that are too costly to produce, you would lose the cutting edge aspect of medicine that Covid has shown is so necessary. Look at the vaccine programs - who produced the most efficacy..who produced the most doses. US

Gleevec (these tablets) isn't even the best example of this. Virtually all targeted oral therapies coming out these days are priced for what the market will bear - the price the manufacturers charge has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with research, development, manufacturing or distribution costs. They literally charge as much as they can get away with, which means for most new oral cancer drugs, each month's supply costs around $15,000 to $20,000.
I'm on a chemo drug and Biologic for my autoimmune disease. The max i pay a month is e114 but the actual cost of the biologic was €2000 for 2 injections. It is disgraceful price to charge for life saving meds to a point where people simply can't afford to save their own life because of profit margins....xx

The amount of conditioned responses to defend corporate America in this thread are appalling. Pharmaceutical companies get HUGE grants of public money to develop their products. Then, after extracting value from society, they gouge that same society by selling at insanely inflated prices because they know they can get away with it. Some things are difficult to produce, but that’s the exception to the rule of expensive drug pricing in the USA.
yeah...at least in some parts there's free healthcare. i feel so bad because nowadays in certain parts you need to be a millionaire just to stay healthy. it is very wrong.
A friend of mine will have to buy these soon and the monthly amount is 3 times her salary
As a Canadian, I am still blown away whenever I read what Americans go through with basic health care. This is so wrong. Poor then you die. How is that even remotely acceptable in this world.
Robbing seriously ill people is a direct sign that the owner of the company producing them is going straight to hell when they die.
If it works, it's worth it. The only caveat is, where could one find them at a more reasonable price.
As a wealthy American, who could easily pay for those pills if I somehow had cancer, I WOULD RATHER DIE of cancer than waste my money to the evil pharmaceutical companies that jack the prices for nothing more than simply greed.
I doubt that. When push comes shove I doubt you want to die. --------- In addition, almost every one blames Big Pharma, right? It's like blaming Joe Biden for inflation; simple, but wrong. Pharmaceutical R & D doesn't work alone in this, nor do they set guidelines or policy. Even if all you start with is reading labels you'll find out the US isn't the only place doing R & D.

That’s only 30 doses. A month’s worth if prescribed one per day. The pharmaceutical company charging $12000.00/month for lifesaving meds—-which probably only cost them the tiniest fraction of that amount to produce. Bastards. I hope Karma’s got a real party planned for them.
The meds weren't created out of nowhere by fairies. These meds might have taken decades to develop. Decades of paying the salaries and associated costs of the scientists who developed them and the staff who supported the scientists. The cost isn't the cost of the pills - it's the cost of everything that went into the pills existing at all.

Taxes, kiddos. In countries where these drugs are covered by the government they are paid for by taxes. The cost in developing them is exorbitant. They literally do not grow on trees. You want affordable health care for people who can't afford these drugs? Pay higher taxes. Nothing crazy, just a little more all around. But, I guess, just don't put it in your back yard.
Isn't capitalism great 👍😊 only people with money matter. The poor are there to serve the Ritch as they live there fabulous lifes. A whole world of slaves...... just wonderful 😊👍
I take 400mg daily (1 pill) of these for my Systematic Mastocytosis. Years ago when I first started taking it it was $35,000 for 30 days. My insurance company denied it and my Dr. and I had to file appeals. Eventually they agreed to cover it but only at %50. To took my wife and I 3 months to scrape enough money together for a one month trial. It seemed to help and thank GOD that the next month they came out with a $10.00 copay card. Get this, once there was a generic (imatinib mesylate) the insurance company again denied my coverage for the name brand (the one with the $10.00 copay and wanted me to use the generic for $5,000.00 per month. So I had my doctor start writing "dispense as written. " to be able to get the $10.00 version. I won't even try to math for what the U.S. Retail price I would have paid by now for about to last 5-6 years would have been. I do know there is no cure for me and I'll probably have to take it for life.
Thank God I live in Australia. My dose of 12 per day for 6 months was FREE. That was 183 tablets
Yes it is very sick how they charge $400 dollars a pill... It probably costs them $5 bucks to make 30 pills if not less!!!!!
I hope they go to hell for what they put them and their families through. As if they weren’t suffering enough
Thouse pills would be free here in Sweden, it's horrible that you have to pay that much just to survive. Free healthcare is something the US has to consider.
If only. :(. Often it's our polluted air, water, and fake food that gives it to us in the first place.

But how else will BigPharma execs afford their private jets and hillside mansions?
In Ireland the maximum any family pays for prescription drugs is €150 per month. A family can be one person or 20. Also if you are diagnosed with a life threatening disease or a chronic disease, all prescriptions relating to that diagnosis are capped at €5.00 per month.
I cannot “like” this pic because it’s an abomination to charge so much. I’ve lost too many friends and family to cancer.
They should make a fair living, everyone is entitled to make a living, the problem is they are gouging and gorging on the profits excessively, evidenced by the yaghting and private jetting lifestyles.

For that price you would think they would at least give them some better packaging.
In the USA :-( This is bloody criminal! I'm going through breast cancer at the moment, and even going fully Private, I only have an out of pocket to pay of just under $1000 for surgery, radiation- everything!
Even more sick is the fact it can be had for under a 100 bucks delivered by mark cuban. Thevies.
How can humans at a big pharma company even do this without any conscious regrets ?? This is very akin to murder for some…not the least of which is insurance?!?!?! This is SICK and SELFISH to the max!!
Where meds are free…. What’s your income tax, property tax, fuel tax? How long to be seen by provider? In England, don’t many pay for alternative (private) insurance to be seen in a timely manner? It’s always about compromise.
That’s just wrong, people are making money off death. It’s just sickening.
This is something the Govt should but some controls on. AIDS drugs are also extremely expensive. Pharmaceutical companies are despicable.
my ocd is raging at the sideways one...and the fact that they aren't all facing the same way.
In Brazil you could get cancer treatment and medications for R$ 0, because we have public hospitals and clinics that are totally free.
It's a business. They don't give a c**p about us. The rich live the poor die. Nothing is going to change that...
Obviously the USA where the medical system is an outrage in western society
Somebody has to pay for the medication and Healthcare. If not the patient then everyone in the country. Scientists and Researchers need to be paid - they have families & need to eat too. Yes, there are *some* grants, etc., but creating a drug or medication takes years - years - and many more fail in early stages than ever make it through to the finish. Cancer drugs and similar ones called "orphan drugs" are much more expensive than meds used by the general population- not just because less people use them but because of what is IN them. Unfortunately, there are companies that are greedy and make huge profits off the drugs. These are not the norm.
It should be illegal for pharmaceutical companieS to charge outrageous prices like this to cancer patients or diabetics, or anyone.
Shouldn't cost anything for someone's life to be saved bc I can promise you there priceless to there families. And I bet if anyone from the pharma companies got sick with cancer they wouldn't pay those horrible prices. It's a shame. Absolutely disgusts me.
So many people are forced to choose between meds, food, or housing. It really is a shame. I've told my kids no life saving heroics because it would leave them in debt for my medical and funeral expenses since insurance is so expensive. Pretty sad that many folks have resigned themselves to the fact that if you are not rich, you will likely die before getting life saving treatment.
Not having insurance is more expensive but you will get care if you need it. Being a heroic victim won't help anyone.----- Here's a problem in the US - people who can't afford to work because they'll lose public health benefits.

God sake that is unbelievable. My mother takes handfuls of medication everyday, morning, afternoon and night. I swear I'd hate to think what it would cost us in America.

In my place, the pastor’s sister had cancer. Terrible that it happened.😭😢
THE PERSON BEHIND THE DECISION TO CHARGE THAT AMOUNT SHOULD GET THE TYPE OF CANCER IT'S GOING TO TREAT. F-CKING DISGUSTING. GREEDY S**T BAGS.
My husband has had cancer 3 times and I'm so very glad that he hasn't had to take anything but he's chemo. I feel for anyone that has to go through that or even a family to have to watch their love one go through that and then on top of all the emotions that you have when you are going through it yourself or a family member and have to pay so much money for something that may help you get better. I pray 🙏 for anyone that has been affected by Cancer. I love you and God Bless you all!!! ❤
People, you need to remember that the geniuses that ferret out these cures have huge college loans to pay for all that education they needed to get to figure out it to create these drugs. The trials all have government agencies watching each step they make. The trials take place in buildings which require upkeep, supplies to keep the administrative documentation, equipment to run the labs, safety protocols & equipment, etc. All that takes money, millions of dollars. And that's for the drugs that work....the ones that don't is money down the drain. Be thankful those geniuses have dedicated their lives to finding these cures...... THEY OWE THE WORLD NOTHING.
I've been taking these for a few years. With insurance the copay is around 1000 dollars. Luckily, last year I got a medical assistance grant to pay 0. Now expired. It's an extra stress on top of dealing with uncurable Leukemia. The situation is unsustainable, except for multi billionaires
Only in the United States, too!!! If you were to go to Canada or Mexico, the exact same drug from the same manufacturer would probably only cost $200!!! Americans pay for all of the “Research and Diagnostic” costs for each drug as well as the lobbying fees and FDA fees to get each drug cleared for use by the public worldwide!! We bear the brunt of the cost through our insurance companies!! And you wonder why you pay so much for insurance??? This is why!!!
Thank You Big Pharma and all the congress members who let this happen.
Maybe I am the luckiest American ever, but I had cancer in 2008/2009, with multiple surgeries, chemo by infusion, and radiation. Through the insurance policy available at work, everything was paid for mostly at 100%, once my deductible was met. And I luckily had a private policy just for cancer, that paid me $10000 for each year I had chemo or radiation. This helped pay my bills while I was out of work. I’m only telling this to say, yes I know our”big pharma” issues suck, but thank God not everything about US healthcare is as bad as others perceive it to be. I’m 13+ years cancer free, and got to see my youngest start college in 2021!

I believe this is price gouging. Not to mention epee pens, years ago a friend told me they were 500.00. If my math skills have totaly left me that's 400.00$ a pill.
IF THERE IS A CURE FOR CANCER, WHY THEY KEEP SAYING THAT "TOGETHER WE CAN FIGHT CANCER ONE DAY"? IS IT, BY ANY CHANCE, THAT EVERYTHING REVOLVES AROUND MONEY?
I can’t believe the level of ignorance in this post. First of all, there’s no context to the cost and most people are acting like someone was forced to write a personal check to have access to them. Maybe - just maybe - the $12k is what they cost to manufacture. Or maybe that’s THIS package’s portion of the millions in research dollars it took to develop them. But my question for all of you touting this sh*t should be free - where exactly does free stuff come from?! It seems lost on the vast majority of you that SOMEONE has to pay for it!!
They should at least make them attractive for that price! Aesthetics are an important part of healing too.
That’s evil. People are dying because the companies charge extortionate prices
Pfizer, in America charges $50,000.00/ month for Vindamax. This is needed to "help" a protein malady in the heart. It is not a cure. It helps after two or three years of use. I am grateful for it none the less. Thank you insurance and Medicaid.
My very tight fisted - the kind that won't buy anything without coupons or deals off - uncle got cancer and after all the other treatments were exhausted, they said try this experimental one: $15,000 per shot and you need 3 shots. I was amazed the he said ok, he'd try it. He died not long after anyway. Read 'So Much For That' by Lionel Shriver about the cost and the despair of cancer drugs. Fiction book and really well done.
do these pills give you cancer or stop it?? for $12000 isnt that just going to kill you ?
Not surprising. I take nine pills a month for migraines. Nine pills is all I'm allowed by my insurance. I'd take more if I could. They cost about 400.00 for nine. I can't function without them though. It's like this for almost all medications. They talk about the opioid crisis but opiates were cheap. They were clearly over prescribed and people got hooked on them but another reason was that they cost almost nothing and if they weren't covered, people could afford them. My dying father took pain pills and it only cost him about 100.00 a month for his pain medicines while his chemotherapy was thousands. He died anyway.
What a shame that governments allow this gouging. Even when factoring R&D, etc., big pharma is despicable.
My entire professional world has been caring for oncology patients. Let me share what I have learned from my work. Most nationalized healthcare gets cheaper meds from US pharma because they get it on the backs of US consumers and the higher taxes they pay into social welfare. In the U.S. When you are diagnosed with cancer, everyone starts out on the same protocals for their illness as every other cancer patient of same cancer. Each hospital has a cancer committee that meets about patients and their diagnosis and their illness matches treatment plans based on their type and stage of cancer from the Natl Cancer Board. You exhaust those protocals before you get the very special stuff then onto MD Anderson and clinical trials. If you are retired, poor or rich -- you need will get covered. The middle class is screwed most often. Max out your insurance limits, be the primary insured and get ill, you don't get medicaid automatically. Employers cover that person. Rates go up next year.
Meanwhile 90 pills of oxytocin is 35.00 cash if u dont have insurance. Smdh.

That's obscene. If I get cancer, i'll die, cause i don't have that kind of money. What's the use of living if you're bankrupt?
My 1st chemo treatment for breast cancer was $127,000. The other 5 were almost $145,000 each. There was 1 medicine I had to take every 3 weeks for an entire year, at a cost of over $6,000 each. Lost my book (no biggie), got my hair back, 3years out things are still "different ". I'm alive and kicking, but I'll be paying the medical bills for years. And we had insurance and got some grants. Cancer is expensive. It it doesn't kill you, the bills just might.
My husband's Hep. C treatment was Harvoni costs $94,500 for a 12-week treatment. Our co-pay was $18,400 with insurance. The American healthcare system is horrid.
I live in the USA but even with insurance from work, I couldn't afford the co-pay for my cancer Rx so had to buy then from Canada which is illegal for us to do.
OMG, surely that is in America where they would rather people die than get life-saving medicines for free?
My MS drug, one 325mg infusion = $121,000.00. Fortunately, it's just 2 doses per year. Unfortunately, a quarter million dollars/year is too expensive to keep it up. (My co-pay is 25%!)

Unfortunately until we get a better handle on cancer these pills and other drugs will cost a fortune to even just refine. On a plus it is something that hopefully soon becomes a simple treatment at the rate we are defeating cancer.
In England, this costs £9.35. If you're a child, retired or unemployed, it's free.

If people looked after their health and ate all natural vegan food, and no rubbish food, the need for cancer pills would be greatly reduced!!!
Mine cost about 2.500 € per pack of 21 pills. That's 10 € for my wallet and the rest for my health insurance. However, as opposed to many rumours, healthcare in my country is NOT "free" because we pay monthly contributions to health insurance, the amount depending on the person's income, and these cannot be called cheap.
F**k this world. We give free help to drug addicts, education to prisoners and tons of money to other countries but over charge a sick person.
Please keep educating prisoners and help addicts. Just.. don't war so much in places that's not your own soil.That should save enough to do it all..

Car Struck By Lightning
"Here is some cool patina. While driving back to my house Saturday night my car was struck by lightning. It was freaking awesome I couldn't see or hear anything for about 2 minutes. The next morning I looked at my car and saw this. Not only did it burn the paint it bubbled the metal. I sealed it with epoxy so I can keep it forever too bad this is on my Honda Fit. I figured when the car is junk I'm going to cut it out and hang it on the shop wall."

The wavy walls are also used for planting sensitive fruit trees. The waveform protects the plants from the wind and the masonry stores the heat of the sun and gives it off during the night.
