If we want to learn something new and grow as individuals, we need to expose ourselves to things we haven't encountered before. That's often easier said than done, because stepping outside our comfort zones requires a willingness to be vulnerable in the face of the unfamiliar.
So, we decided to create a controlled, zero-risk environment where everyone who wants to expand their horizons could easily do so. Bored Panda put together a list of fascinating pictures for curious minds, revealing nature, technology, and other aspects of the world you might never have explored—each one ready to spark your next big interest.

Why Sunscreen Is Important
I_imagine_even_worse_w***s 6 months ago
Wow one of fathers arms is like this. He's in his 80s now but years of farming and being on a tractor with his right arm only getting sun. We live in Ireland so it wasn't much sun and for past 30 years he wore sunscreen but the damage was already done. The skin is so brittle it bleeds a lot. We're all very fair skinned mostly red heds so it really drives home the importance of sunscreen even in countries that aren't known for sun.

Contact Area Between Train Wheel And Rail
Nadine Debard 6 months ago
The train wheels are slightly conical (3 degrees) to allow turning without having a differential between the wheels and it also keeps the train on tracks because of the forces that apply on the conical wheel.

Unfortunately that’s not a valid US currency. It’s just a commemorative coin issued by the Hutt River Province in Australia. It’s one of those things you see for sale on late night TV.
