50 Times People Spotted Something ‘Mildly Interesting’ And Documented It For The Internet To See
Interview
If you think that the word ‘mild’ is drab, boring, and pretty ‘meh,’ then you couldn’t be more wrong. As the incredibly popular ‘Mildly Interesting’ community on Reddit will show you, mild is actually wild!
The subreddit, which boasts a whopping 18.6 million members and keeps growing as though being watered and cared for by the best digital gardeners on Reddit, is a magical place dedicated to (yup! You guessed it!) mildly interesting stuff.
Ranging from posts that will make you go ‘hey, that’s pretty neat’ to ‘wow, I can’t believe this exists, the world is amazing and life rocks so much, I’ve already forgotten about 2020,’ the subreddit has a bit of everything for everything. (And it has the follower count to prove it). Check out some of their best newest posts below, upvote your fave pics, and once you’re done enjoying this list, check out Bored Panda’s most recent mildly interesting posts right here and here.
Moderator RedSquaree told Bored Panda that even though it's been 9 years since the subreddit was founded, it hasn't changed much over that time. "We've been working hard to keep it that way," they said. Read on for our full interview with them.

My Shirt Appears To Be Two Vastly Different Colors In Different Lighting
Maciej Zajaczkowski 5 years ago
Metamerism - since humans only have 3 types of cone cells, some different light spectra can look identical to us - think of ''yellow'' on screens - there is only red and green in reality and it is indistinguishable from pure yellow light. You only see the difference once you change lighting - when not all wavelengths are available, I bet one of the lights is fluorescent which has a very unsmooth spectrum.

Saint Thomas 5 years ago
That's because the glass is engraved. I have a few different beer glasses with the logo of the brewery engraved at the bottom. It's supposed to 1) look good and 2) keep the beer foamy, as bubbles will form because of the irregularity on the surface of the glass.
