The Mildly Interesting subreddit currently has 25 million members and counting. And if you look at the photos people are sharing in this community, they’re mostly images of life’s everyday moments. But what makes them so compelling?
According to Charlotte-based photographer and Cannavo Studios founder Adam Cannavo, the mundanity allows people a momentary escape from their own lives.
“They’re mundane yet just odd enough to make your brain stop scrolling while still being totally relatable,” he told Bored Panda. “These are new but familiar images that resonate with lots of people.”

A Few Of My Meals At A General Hospital In The Netherlands
Damned_Cat 4 months ago
I literally got sick trying to eat the gross, bland, putrid smelling food in the hospital a couple of weeks ago, and my taste buds haven't been right since. It just kills me to see some obviously delicious food served in a hospital.
Ryan-James O'Driscoll 4 months ago
I have had more than my fair share of time in hospital in the UK (I'm ok, just been a bit unlucky). While in for surgery last year, I noted how much better the food was than I remembered. But it was still poor. Tiny portions of nutritionally vacant pre-prepared c**p. Tasted better, but nothing more. I love the NHS for all they have done for me. But food is chronically under-invested, despite so much evidence showing how much better the outcomes are with decent food.
Joe Reaves 4 months ago
My trust is pretty good (I used to joke that when he was in hospital my dad was eating way better than me - I wouldn't know personally because I was nil by mouth or liquids only for almost all my stay) but the Dutch are on another level.

The office manager of our building, who is a disgusting creature, is always putting up motivational cr@p in the lobby. Sooo, I'm tearing her stuff down and replacing it with these motivational inspirations.
Given how these photos, with minimal context, can reach millions of people at once, that begs the question: what makes a photo stand out in this day and age, where “everyone is a photographer”?
According to Winnipeg-based wedding photographer Joel Boily, it’s more about resonance than just beauty or technical perfection.
“The best images today don’t just show you something interesting,” he said. “They make you feel something. Whether it’s emotional intimacy, perfect timing, or a flash of visual irony, the photos that stand out evoke a response deeper than a quick double-tap.”

This Silver Ant I Saw Today
Mel in Georgia 4 months ago
So dug into this and found this interesting info: Researchers at Columbia University are working on a new way to keep buildings cool. They drew inspiration from an unlikely source: a heat-tolerant species of ant called the Saharan Silver Ant, which lives in the scorching desert. In 2015, physics professor Nanfang Yu discovered that this ant's silvery coating of hair reflects sunlight and radiates heat back to the sky. "They are only active in the middle of the day when the surface of the desert is the hottest", explains Yu. Now, he and his colleagues have developed a paint-like material that mimics these functions. When applied to a rooftop, it reflects up to 99% of sunlight, and emits heat back to the atmosphere. Yu says that helps cool the building underneath and it does so far more effectively than white paint, which only reflects certain wavelengths of solar radiation.

Boily, on the other hand, says otherwise. According to him, the dawn of smartphone cameras devalued what a photograph means.
“When everyone has a camera in their pocket, the sheer volume of images being created makes it harder for any one image to feel significant,” he said, while also clarifying that instant access to cameras has its upsides, like democratized creativity and storytelling.

For Goldstone, it’s a gray area. While it does allow everyone a chance to capture a moment in time, there’s a chance it will be forgotten, given how easy it is to take these snapshots.

This Restaurant Charges An 18% Living Wage Fee
Riley Quinn 4 months ago
Should've posted my response here because this is NOT like greenwashing. This is how all business, except hospitality, operate. You charge the customer for all your costs/overhead, which includes salaries, supplies/equipment, insurance, and profit (owner's income). This is much fairer than servers busting their butts, not getting adequate tips, and ekeing out a poverty-level living.
Load More Replies... Emilu 4 months ago (edited)
… that’s kind of obnoxious when you could just, y’know, pay your staff better. We have hospitality workers earning around $100 AU per hour on public holidays (and most businesses will charge a PH surcharge but with wages like that, fair enough) because we actually pay our workers properly instead of expecting them to live on the decency (or otherwise) of other people. I don’t normally hop on the tip bandwagon; I get it’s cultural. But a ‘living wage’ fee? That’s just lazy.

But.... that's what happens anyway. Where do you think the money to pay staff comes from? Ultimately from the customers. This is a weird way of doing it though.

My Blood Vessels Pick Up More Dirt
Riley Quinn 4 months ago
I'm clueless so I went to the Reddit source for this image and found this: This actually gets complicated (and fascinating). You’re right that magnetism is not the answer to this particular mystery, but oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood (as in the veins pictured here) have different magnetic properties, which actually led us to our understanding of how they carry oxygen back in the 1930s (Pauling et al.). Deoxygenated blood largely does not have anything bound to the heme iron (CO2 does not swap places with the O2), and so it is more responsive to a magnetic field!

A friend of mine had to swallow two of these, she had a super slow bowel and intestinal delay, basically pooped once a week. Those little rings can be picked up on X-ray, that way the doctors can see how long they take to pass and if there is a significant area of obstruction.

My Pinky Toe Has Turned Sideways Over The Years
Ariom Dahl 4 months ago
Many years of poor fitting shoes? What about the toes on the other foot?
David R. 4 months ago
Prolly because your big toe looks like it is sucking all the life out of the other four and the pinkie, being the smallest, has finally deflated.
EJN 4 months ago
This is what happens if your balance on your feet is not right. If you walk on the outer edge of your foot, your little toe will likely end up like this to some extent. People with extremely high arches tend to walk with their weight to the outer side of the foot. I have the same.
Huddo's sister 4 months ago
Mine have become like this. They were always slightly crooked, but now there is calloused skin on the side because it has become the bottom. I don't think it's ill-fitting shoes (though I have had to get rid of shoes recently because they don't fit right, but I only wore them a couple of times) but could be to do with my feet growing wider.

That has something to do with the tendon across the bottom of the foot. Thicker I think. Show genetic heritage for some group, can't remember which.

Neighbor’s Recycling Bin Burst Into Flames And Melted Into A Puddle Overnight. (Purple Recycling Bin On The Right For Reference)
Jaya 4 months ago
It could be something like charcoal, but interesting fact: some things can spontaneously catch on fire. For instance hay in a hay stack, or cloth that is drenched in oil or paint. It has to do with fermentation processes that generate heat, and if it's in a closed down container it can't get rid of the heat and will catch fire. That's why massage parlors aren't allowed to keep the dirty towels with oil on them inside the building, but have to put them in a garbage container that's put far enough away from buildings. It's also a problem for farmers (hay stacks) and painters (cloth drenched in paint that contains certain oils). It's recommend to let oily/paintcovered cloth dry out in the open, folded out instead of crumped into a ball.

In fact the main reason it's not used on most pedal cycles is simply that there's no real benefit in strength, efficiency or weight to be gained, just a slightly reduced maintencance requirement,

Dairy Queen Not Taking E-Pay Because Of Airshow
Mel in Georgia 4 months ago
Here's what one commenter on the Reddit thread said: I know my comment will get buried, but the likely cause is the cell tower that they use for the transactions is likely overwhelmed with the patrons at the air show. They are unable to connect. If they had a way of reconfiguring their POS (point of sale) card readers to use a local wifi network attached to the internet,they could continue processing cards. Source: I've been at air shows where the local cell towers can't handle 10,000 new cell devices in the same location. Event Vendors' card transaction processing fails and cashless venues suddenly become frozen.

This Hotel Requires Men To Wear Swim Briefs Or Square Leg Swimsuits In The Pool. Boardshorts (And T-Shirts Or Rash Guards) Are Not Allowed
LillieMean 4 months ago
You should always go to the swimming pool by showering naked and putting on a swimsuit on clean skin for hygiene reasons. Cultures where nudity is taboo cannot follow hygiene rules and swimsuits are worn under clothes and you go into the pool without showering or just wet your swimsuit in the shower. I go swimming regularly and swimming teachers always emphasize hygiene rules when swimming learners from other cultures try to act against the rules. (Swimming lessons are mandatory in schools). In this Finnish swimming hall in question, burkinis are allowed but they offer showers with shower curtains and you still have to soap your skin and wash your private parts like the rest of us. You have to wet your hair and keep it tied up or alternatively you have to wear a swimming cap. If some group does not follow the rules and for this reason new rules have to be created, I do not think it is discrimination.

This is horrible. For Muslim women. But also for trans men who don't want other people to see their scars from top surgery (because they feel uncomfortable about them, or because they live somewhere where it's unsafe to be out of the closet). And trans men who haven't had top surgery and nonbinary people who were born with a female body but feel horribly uncomfortable having to dress feminine. They should be allowed to wear a swimming shirt (the kind that is made of the same fabric as a bikini, that is made specifically for swimming). And also just men who don't wanna have a naked belly/chest. There's no reason that swimming shirts are unhygienic.
