‘Mildly Interesting’: 50 Pics Of Random Things To Pique Your Interest Very Slightly (New Pics)
It’s weird to think that interest can be put on a scale. Like, a continuum ranging from interesting to the minimal, tiny iota degree to the maximum, universal level of approval.
It’s even weirder that we have a dedicated online community that focuses on a very particular part of this continuum—the mild interest.
But you already know that. Probably. Whatever the case, there is no shortage of mildly interesting things to see and experience in the world, and the beauty of technology allows you to see it just one scroll away.

A Rabies Vaccines That Is Airdropped In The Woods For Raccoons To Eat
Sky people dropping yummy treats wins over raccoon morals
Load More Replies...It'll be fine. If your pets eat it, they will be fine as well unless they happen to be allergic to the protein in the bait that surrounds the vaccine. That usually only results in itchy skin and/or digestive upset. I've had to work alongside this program for over 18 years and it is a wonderful thing. We used to have people bring these into the clinic panicking because they thought their animals ate poison and I would have to direct them to the health department information we had posted on our wall. Edit: The way Tennessee does this is by distribution via low flying planes and helicopters in vastly rural areas. They don't distribute the vaccines in highly populated areas. The Tennessee Health Department recommends not touching the baits and to use gloves if you need to remove them from your property. Not due to danger from the vaccine, but because it smells fishy and it might have wild animal spit on it.

I don't understand why a bank would just close an account for no reason (I'm genuinely confused). I understand that your bank has the right to do this (read the fine print in your banking agreement). Usually banks want to hold on to your money, so in the absence of odd circumstances, I couldn't imagine a good reason for closing the account unless you barely use it, have excessive overdraft fees/ frequently overdrafting your account, gross violation of banking policies or they suspected fraud. It is not legal; however, for them to keep your money. They're supposed to issue you a check for whatever money is left in the account & return it to you. If not, you file a complaint, I think, with the OCC (Office of the Comptroller). While I totally agree, Chase & Wells Fargo should burn in a fiery car crash together, I think we're missing some more of this story
Perhaps an ice cream cake or a large order for an event?

Load More Replies...Blue is nature's "DO NOT EAT" color. Before someone says blueberries, blueberries are not blue. They are kind of a purplish grey. Take it from this food scientist. Actual blue is hard to pull off. Any blue candy you eat is using synthetic food coloring. Only natural source I know of is indigo and that's a fabric dye but theoretically food safe.

This Restaurant Named "Thai Food Near Me"
If you are close enough to read this sign, it is automatically true.
It’s a bit hard to explain what mildly means in the context of interest. You’d think you’re either interested in something or you’re not. Sure, you can be on the fence about it, or you can be in a situation where you want to like something. And that makes loads of sense. This is where you start to think about how much of your time and energy you’d want to allocate to whatever you’re mildly interested in. But how much is mildly?

This Burger King Still Use Their Furnitures From The 80s
I miss the omnipresent turquoise and lilac, the geometric designs... It was not only at Burger King, it was everywhere.
That’s the 90s. If it was the 80s BK everything would be brown and yellow.
The concept of interest (not the financial thing) can be seen as a feeling of wanting to know or learn more about stuff. It can also be explained as a quality that attracts people for the same reason. This ultimately boils down to a joint definition that is used to describe an activity—one that draws people into taking part in it. Yeah, that doesn’t sound like anything that would by nature be scaled to a certain degree. It either is, or isn’t interesting.

Japanese Gum Comes With A Pad Of Paper To Wrap It Up And Throw It Away Later
So does gum you buy in the wrappers instead of plastic. They have added the paper back in?
Japan has very few outdoor public trash cans and spitting gum out in the ground is illegal and they will prosecute so the only choices are swallow it or put it in your pocket when done. Hence the paper.
I bought a pack of gum at a health food store because it was labeled all natural or something. It came with little slips of paper too. Tried it and it was awful hahahaha forgot the name though.
I don't think you are supposed to eat the paper.

And because everyone has different likes and interests in life, it’s hence a different reaction for each person.

What is more certain is the idea of self-interest. Scottish economist and philosopher Adam Smith talked at length about the concept. The focal point of his definition of self-interest is that every person is by nature first and foremost concerned with himself. It is a certain kind of hardwiring that we as individuals forming communities, societies, and an entire race can’t help but obey.

My Local Hospital Has Examples Of When You May Need An Urgent Care vs. An Er
to urgent care with you then, and you'll have to wait five hours
Load More Replies...Actually, if a cat bites you, you need to go to the emergency room! I got sepsis from a cat bite, and was on a pic line, getting antibiotics. A lot of young doctors don't even know how serious cat bites can be, why my situation got worse- I was prescribed the wrong antibiotics for three days, and the infection was getting worse!
Honestly, they still wouldn’t know, when I worked at a doctor’s office, I got a call from a woman asking if she should take her husband to the emergency room or make an appointment as he fell down the ladder and was unconscious and is now just waking up
We had a guy call for an ambulance because he hurt his neck 3 weeks prior. We had to go into 5th Ward in Houston (IYKYK), on a Friday night, with gunfire in the distance, put on a C-collar, and load him up. As soon as we got to the hospital, the triage nurse took off the c-collar, told him to have a seat in the waiting room, and the wait was approximately 24 hours. Told us people do that all the time, hoping to be seen quicker. (This was a MAJOR trauma center, stabbings, shootings, etc, all rolling in, there was a gun shot wound coming in when we left that was getting CPR). There sre more than 85 hospitals in Houston, but he chose the busiest.

What's even cooler is the tiny Zamboni that periodically smooths out the whole strip...
He goes on to say that self-interest is what motivates people to pursue goals. The first of which are basic bodily human needs, like eating and staying healthy. According to Smith, this should not be confused with wants and desires—sure, everyone wants a Ferrari, and it might be within someone’s self-interest to get one, but it’s not key to your survival, and that’s Smith's take on it.

This Instant Peanut Butter Machine At A Breakfast Buffet
I'm floored. I was today years old when I learned these existed 🤯 I'm immediately finding one. We go through so much peanut/nut butter with the dogs, and the birds and squirrels we make feeders for, the goats, the horses. If growing any types of nut/ legume wasn't such a PITA, I'd even try to do that. Wow, this is gonna be a game changer.
Even though I grew up eating it, I freaking HATE fresh ground peanut butter! It’s bland, gritty, not salty enough, and somehow, dry and oily at the same time.
Yeah it's embarrassing but I like the fake stuff so much better. I only wish jiff or skippy made almond butter, too!
Load More Replies...I find the American obsession with peanut butter quite intriguing. It is nice and healthy, ok, but for my Brazilian tastes, a bit bland.

The Difference Between My Brother And I’s Tan
Still wrong. *My brother's tan and mine* or *My brother's tan and my tan.* (edit: when using a possessive adjective (my, your, etc.), the object of that possession goes after it (my shirt, his tan, etc.), descriptive adjectives (blue, squishy, etc.) can go before that object, but additional possessors go after.
Load More Replies...But you can’t really ignore wants and desires, right? Sure, there is the idea that putting yourself through some suffering builds character. But if it’s taken to an extreme, it can be destructive, causing distress, anxiety, and it won’t solve the problem. Instead, it has to be a balancing act, and allowing yourself to have interests and hobbies, even to a mild degree, will have a positive impact on you, i.e. less stress and a better mood.
Fake Ids Confiscated In A College Town
Why not make the legal drinking age 18 like every civilised and uncivilised country?
Just because everyone's doing it, doesn't make it the right decision. Alcohol is really bad for brains that are still developing, which is until about 25. In my country we were allowed to start drinking beer at 16 and harder liquor at 18, which is insane. We should all be taking the US's example and make drinking age a bit higher.
Load More Replies...The US is so backwards. You can't buy alcohol until you're 21 but you can certainly buy an assault rifle when you turn 18!

Load More Replies...My Partner And I Saw The Same Movie On The Same Day 3 Different Times Years Before We Met
Statistically that's not all that unlikely. Theyr'e big movies and the dates correspond with the opening screenings in the US. I'd say it's more unusual that both people kept the movie tickets!
And both of you keep your movie tickets? Thats a special kind of dorky
The both of you save movie ticket stubs too, you're literally perfect for each other.. although within a few years you will fight about how one of you saved their ticket stubs better than the other, yet your love will run ever deeply
That's cool. I love that they keep their tickets. I have every movie and theatre ticket from when I started going in 1973. That's a lot of tickets! I can remember every show when I look at them, just like you can remember the day from a photograph.
My Friend’s Dog Has Megaesophagus So They Feed Him Upright In A Special Chair
It's wonderful that they have a standing food dish. This condition can affect any mammal. Food can become lodged & it may decay, or be regurgitated, or even inhaled into the lungs. That is a lucky pup having a caring owner.
Megaesophagus is not a single disease. Instead it is considered a combination disorder in which the esophagus (the tube that carries food and liquid between the mouth and stomach) dilates (gets larger) and loses motility (its ability to move food into the stomach).
And this now circles around to self-interest again. Whether something is a mild interest or a deep one, it’s still good to have these positive experiences about things that you genuinely like. Being interested in things is not only good for us mentally, but it is a certain kind of reward—like picking up a phone, just for a little bit, after grinding through an hour or two of work.
They Have Baguette Vending Machines In France
This is the Frenchiest thing I've ever seen. I want this installed in my neighborhood immediately.
in other news today (true) in Paris they have passed a law that all eateries have to say which dishes were made on site and which were bought in to try and improve the quality of food. This year they came 9th in the world for food, behind amongst others America and they are super ashamed.
The prototypes launched the bread hard enough to impale workers, and they almost failed to make it to market. None other than Jacques Chirac was quoted as saying, "A good baguette is worth a dozen men," paving the way for the machines proliferation.
In Italy they have pizza vending machines that make them from scratch. Wonderful to behold.
The baguettes are replenished twice per day, that’s what it says on the side of the machine.

One Of My Patients Asked For A Rollings Stones Logo On Their Crown So We Painted This For Them
Buddy used to make custom dentures (weird job, right?). Yes, it will last.
Load More Replies...I have had several weird jobs. One was to paint dentures or fake teeth to match the color of people's teeth. This was 20 years ago. With each tooth or set of teeth we were given a color to match. There weren't that many colors to choose from. There were about 6 of us in a room painting. While the boss screwed his secretary in the room next door. Your fake teeth have SEEN things. Ended up quitting because I had problems cashing the checks. They would put later dates in the checks and the business went under a few years later.

Saharan Sand On My Car In The Middle Of The UK
When I lived in the UK we got ash on our cars from the Mount St. Helens eruption.

These Tampons Expire On January 8, 3000
".. and the archeologists still can only guess about what purpose this rolled up material served that was often found in the cavities of so many female mummies after AD 2yk. The most likely explanation is since they are virtually indestructible the survivors of the First Carbon Collapse believed it would carry their souls together with their Life Juices over to the afterlife."
Dear Mr. von Däniken, that is absolutely correct. The »female soul plug« was inserted into the women's bodies to ensure that the soul reached the afterworld safely after their deaths. There are even monthly cycles where graves near the Red Sea get digged out periodically and where such a felty fellow was missing. This is the main subject of the postfuturistic archaeological research and debates.
Load More Replies...Check out a book called "Motel of the Mysteries" by David Macaulay. (blurb from Amazon) It is the year 4022; all of the ancient country of Usa has been buried under many feet of detritus from a catastrophe that occurred back in 1985. Imagine, then, the excitement that Howard Carson, an amateur archeologist at best, experienced when in crossing the perimeter of an abandoned excavation site he felt the ground give way beneath him and found himself at the bottom of a shaft, which, judging from the DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging from an archaic doorknob, was clearly the entrance to a still-sealed burial chamber. Carson's incredible discoveries, including the remains of two bodies, one of then on a ceremonial bed facing an altar that appeared to be a means of communicating with the Gods and the other lying in a porcelain sarcophagus in the Inner Chamber, permitted him to piece together the whole fabric of that extraordinary civilization.

😬😶 it looks like dried blood spray. Not cool in a hospital
Many places have differing thoughts on construction and maintenance of buildings. The hospital I worked at would have someone cleaning and or painting that wall the moment it started to show. Damaged chips and paint would be fixed fairly regularly not just at hospitals but in many business and event homes. In other countries I've been too there seems to be little maintenance and repairs to aesthetic features including paint of buildings after the initial construction. If I is repaired it is done after the damaged or condition is substantial. I guess if it's not broke, don't fix it. As for the rust itself, "Rust can stain your skin (as it will stain clothing, wood, or other surfaces) but there’s nothing inherently harmful in it. Even a wound from a rusty object isn’t necessarily worse than a wound from a non-rusty object (see more below)." ¹ ¹. https://share.upmc.com/2022/08/is-rust-harmful-to-skin/#:~:text=Rust%20does%20not%20cause%20tetanus,soil%20and%20feces%20cause%20tetanus.

I live by the sea, and whilst there is technically "salt in the air" it doesn't cause rust like this...
yeesh. that doesn't look too sanitary. and clenliness is important in a hospital
Sea air acts fast. Open a bag of corn chips and they'll turn chewy and stale in about 3 minutes.
Title Of The Book Is Misspelled On The Cover But Not The Spine
That's because the cover is meant to grab your attention, the spine is meant to help catalog/locate later. This is a marketing tactic.
Of course. Hangovers have different levels of suffering. Mild hangovers totally have me in the kitchen making a big greasy breakfast!
Load More Replies...Isn’t ‘hungover’ past tense in this context? So shouldn’t it really be the ‘hangover’ cookbook, for cooking during a hangover?
I actually have made use of this cookbook when writing an article on the best method of getting rid of a hangover (yes of course I personally tested methods) and I can confirm that it is supposed to be used while being hungover and therefore is grammatically correct. Though I don't recall mine having the spelling issue on the front cover.

My Lyft Driver In Seoul Using A Magnifying Glass To See Directions On His Phone
I had laser eye surgery, so I have 20/15 vision now, but near vision has more to do with lens rigidity, which increases with age and can't be surgically altered. Reading glasses improve my vision for things up to 5 feet away. I can't read a book even at arms length.

From where does the smell originate? And how does it get in here in the first place?
"Jerry-rigg" might have began as "Jury-rigg" meaning too many people involved and made the product less than good. Morphed to "Jerry" over time. Poor Jerrys of the world. Could well have morphed either way, I guess.
Still better than what has long been used as the alternative.
Load More Replies...It's jury rigged if you mean an ad-hoc or temporary construction. Jerry-built if you mean badly made (referring to housing). The former is a nautical term referring to temporary spars and rigging on a sailing vessel, the latter refers to housing put up in a hurry after WWII, oftern by German POWs (Jerries). And I've now had my pedantry fix for the day.

The Gap Sent Me A Check For $0.01 With With No Explanation
This is usually done to verify a bank account. So if you did not have any previous dealings with them, be careful, it could be an attempted identity theft.
It's possible it's a payout for a class action lawsuit. I got 56 cents once when Fredy and F***y lost a case. I think we recently got 28 cents from Facebook.
Load More Replies...Yeah, this is weird. I woke up to an email from Citibank saying there was a purchase made on my cc. I looked it up and it was a 0.00 charge by some name I didn't recognize. I called ccc and all they could tell me was that it was related to some physicians group. Had to have a new card issued. This was probably a test charge to see if cc was active and to see if I noticed it. Have all of your cc's set up so that if a purchase was made without a card being present at the store or where ever, you will get an email in regards to this.
I'm loving the "VOID IF NOT CASHED WITHIN..." at the top right. Oh boy, better hurry, before that penny becomes worthless!
They wanted to give you their two cents on the matter, but after taxes, clerical costs, and associated fees, this is the best they could do.
I once had to write a check for 0.00 to satisfy a cranky bank computer (1970s). The bank later credited me 1.00 for my trouble.
I once had a bank make a $0.01 error when I made a deposit or withdrawal. A few days later I got a letter in the mail, complete with a stamp. Next time I went to the bank they processed a $0.01 withdrawal or deposit (opposite of the mistake) to make things balance properly. I figure it cost them at least $1 to fix it, but federal regulations require them to balance things as accurately as they can.
Load More Replies...I agree with MontanaMariner. This might be a payout from a class action lawsuit you didn't know you were a part of. Happened to me once.
I got $.24 from Best Western from a lawsuit I didn't know about. I did commercial fishing in Alaska for over a decade. I still receive residual payments from fish caught years ago because of the IFQ system(basically the fishing industry equivalent of the stock market.) I get checks a few times a year. First one was >$1000, last one was about $50.

Load More Replies...This Men's Restroom Offers Free Tampons And Pads
"Men's Restroom?" Very progressive if it's meant for people who identify as men but don't have the plumbing. I can see this as a life saver for some of my friends. Otherwise the cynical side of me is picturing this as being part of an anti trans statement. I really need more context.
As most "conservatives" would rather hack off their right hand with a teaspoon than provide free menstrual products to anybody, man or woman, I would strongly suspect that this is indeed aimed at trans and non-binary restroom users.
Load More Replies...This is good if their partner can't afford sanitation products.....or if a guy has been asked to go buy them products and they don't know what to get!
Or, more obviously, some men have periods. Gender is not defined by genitals ☺️
Load More Replies...Trans or non binary people using this restroom. Or simply straight males with a low income that could grab a few for the ladies at home. Pads and tampons can be expensive for poor people, and few nations decided they should be free. First one, Scotland. A couple of years ago Italy lowered the VAT at 4%, just today raised again at 10%. The washable ones that are advertised as ecologic imo are not, since it takes a lot of soap and water to wash blood away, and dark colors just mean you don't see the stains. Less waste but more pollution...
Perhaps they intend for the tampons to be put to their original use, which was as a battlefield bullet hole plugger. That would be interesting if that was the case. Unfortunately, it's far more likely (as many have stated here) an anti LGBTQ statement. With an obvious focus on Trans people. Screw them if that's the case. They may need those tampons for their original purpose someday and I won't be sad.
It’s odd to see, but I’m glad they offer it for people who might know someone with a need for these products.
Now there's a conversation starter with your date as you pull one from your pocket.
Men don't have periods, only females do, and females aren't in men's rooms so this is pointless

Interesting hint. I know the bioluminescence is caused by an interaction of enzymes and I wonder if this also works in dead organisms. Seriously.

My Doctors Office Asked Me About God On A Satisfaction Questionnaire
not if it's a hospital that's run by a religious organization like Providence Health in Washington State
Load More Replies...Back around 2014 I severed a tendon. The in-network hospital was a catholic hospital. They sent the chaplin for a chat. I had zero interest in anything he had to say. How is this legal? PROVIDENCE, yeah using their real name because FTHO, receives federal dollars to push their church on desperate people.
Some hospital chaplains will stop by for a chat - just a chat - nothing religious unless they are asked. Some patients may have no visitors so the chaplains can play an important role. People who have had serious diagnosis or are facing major surgery may think they don't need a chaplain, yet will chat and in a short time are bringing up fears (yes, some can be of a spiritual nature). On the other hand, if anyone who has a chaplain visit them can always be polite, say thanks for seeing me but I'm not wanting to talk.
Load More Replies...Odd. I’ve never seen it phrased that way before. They want to know if you had a good experience but that’s a strange way of asking.

Bikers Had Blue Tape Across Their License Plates
I guess he' s a anti-government guy.... and that's not a bike, it has three wheels
They do this during major charity rides. As in a roll is passed around to everybody. Because they typically have a police escort and are rolling through red lights & such and don't want the red light cameras sending them tickets for an authorized running of it. Pic was taken in September and that's a NY plate. Lots of fundraisers, charity events, and even the 9/11 ride going on at that time, so could be he just forgot to take it off. Or maybe he's headed to/from one charity ride or even in one at the time.
Load More Replies...I used to work at the motor vehicle registry and vehicle classification was based on number of axles not number of wheels. If its got an axle its not a bike. So yep this isnt a bike.
So what's a motorcycle with a sidecar then? This is also bolt-on accessory kit. In my jurisdiction a motorcycle is defined as "A motor vehicle designed and built to have no more than three wheels with its own power source and be capable of speeds in excess of 30mph under ideal road conditions" A subsection defines an "autocycle" as a vehicle with three wheels and a steering wheel designed with seats rather than requiring the occupants to sit astride the chassis, which this clearly is not.
Load More Replies...I think HTakeover is right if this vehicle is part of a charity or show motorcade. Usually they have an identification number they get when they register in the event. This way they can be identified by authorities but their licence plate number does not end up in pics, social and so on
This Giant Cucumber We Grew
Target Designated Half Their Fitting Rooms Into Prayer Rooms
And I'll never understand people who can't understand religious people or, at least, understand they have the right to practise their beliefs just like you have the right not too.
Load More Replies...The Catholic hospital I worked in many years ago had an arrow pointing East in each room so that if people of Muslim faith were able to pray if they chose to. I am raising my child to be tolerant and respectful to all those who are religious or choose to worship/believe. If, as my child grows, decides not to be religious, that's ok, as long as there is respect and tolerance for other faiths and religions.
Maybe owned by Muslims or in a Muslim neighborhood. Very useful and respectful since usually there are few mosques and Muslims must pray at determined hours. Praying is much easier for Catholics or Jews since they usually go at their ease to services that don't are connected to particular hours. Even more useful if in a cold or rainy place. I've seen photos of large groups of Muslim persons praying in the middle of sidewalks or in open air spaces
This is ridiculous. If they want to accomodate religious people they could find a separate space for that. Changing rooms in clothes stores are for changing, not for practising religion ffs.
