This Online Group Is Dedicated To ‘Mildly Interesting’ Stuff, And Here Are Their 50 Best Posts (New Pics)
With everything that's going around the internet, we have become hard to surprise. WTF stock photos, ridiculous real estate listings, and other similar gems have desensitized our 'Whoah!' sensors. But one online community consistently amazes even those who think they've seen it all. Of course, I'm talking about r/MildlyInteresting.
As we have shown you in our earlier publications here, here, and here, the members of this subreddit always seem to find the stuff that lifts your eyebrows. Either by showing off their own or reposting someone else's pictures, these folks know how to entertain. So continue scrolling and check out what they've got in store for us today.

For one of our earlier publications on r/MildlyInteresting, its moderator RedSquaree, said, "I think we've done an amazing job of curating a subreddit that is still niche despite being hugely popular."
"The content is roughly the same today as it was almost a decade ago. Most subs change (for the worse) as they grow, but we've kept things mild—just the way people want it," they explained.
It's hard to pinpoint what makes something 'mildly interesting' but as my colleague Innes highlight, there’s a certain theme running throughout the images: they depict things that go against the grain of what we consider as “normal” in everyday life. Or, they capture some bizarre coincidence that we would never have expected.

Its a nice way to remind people of the important role libraries play in the community because many middle class people see no reason for their existence as they can buy books, use the internet or netflix.

But RedSquaree, who has been looking over the subreddit for some time, thinks the main ingredient of the formula is ambiguity. They said, "Everyone probably has a slightly different interpretation or idea of what is mildly interesting." But they believe that the concept of relatability is most important—it has to be "nothing spectacular but something novel".
However, this can also make it difficult to moderate the content. As RedSquaree explained further, "Sometimes we see users post to r/MildlyInteresting first (because if they didn't, it would break rule 3 of our page). Then, they go on to crosspost to r/damnthatsinteresting. And we're thinking to ourselves, '/r/HolUp, it can't be both.'"

Researchers understand human curiosity as being linked to learning and information seeking. In terms of evolution, it makes sense for people to be curious about the world around them.
Professor Celeste Kidd studies curiosity and learning at the University of California, Berkeley where she runs the Kidd Lab. “Curiosity is the driving force behind everything we know,” she said.
Celeste’s research suggests we’re most curious when we feel uncertain about something. This could explain the popularity of r/MildlyInteresting!

"Uncertainty indicates that there’s valuable knowledge available," she highlighted. "By contrast, certainty indicates you know everything there is to know so there's no point in continuing to be curious because there’s nothing further to be gleaned."
This is sensible, she explains, because it guides us towards what is most useful for us to learn.
In uncertain times, curiosity can help us to focus on the most pressing issues. This could explain the growing interest humans show in fields like sustainability, the circular economy, and ethical data use.

Found A Check From 1879 For $105 In My Dresser That I Inherited From My Grandfather

To all you who can't read cursive it's to Brown and Brown for $105.00! (sorry the devil made me do it!)
LOL, I read it and didn't think about that. Probably anyone under...........hmm 20, can't read or write cursive. Sad.

Not misplaced. Banks used to return cancelled checks to the originator with their bank statement.
Is that Litchfield, Meeker County, Minnesota? I was born there!!! Very cool!
It's a counter check. It's good as cash. If the bank still exists, you can cash it for face value. Modern dollars would be about $3,000 or so. You can't clear it for that. It's only worth the $105. It doesn't have a check number though so it may be BS.
According to the CPI Inflation Calculator, it is worth $2,927.42. Not an insignificant check.
This made me Google the actual buying power of $105 in 1879. I thought it would be more than $105. Nope, it was only $83.33. (https://www.officialdata.org/us/inflation/1800?amount=105 )
The bank changed buildings but its still open. Maybe grandpa did the time traveler, deposit $105 in 1879 so you'd have just over $6 million in 2022. If the account's still there, make sure to pass the check down to your grandson. That way he'll have the $500 million needed to invent time travel.
Wonder how much interest it would have acrude if it had been deposited when it was issued.

I never used any bath bombs until now for this reason.......... To all the people who don't understand, what this means is that unlike normal Bath bombs that might (do) contain chemicals that are harmful for a sensitive organ like the labia, this is safer and won't cause discomfort, dryness etc etc.

It's often more the case of just typing your thoughts. Less about upvotes and more about just engaging with the content. Makes it feel like you've spoken to someone.
