You know how with the people closest to us—friends, family, a partner—you can share the most mundane little updates, and they’ll still respond like it matters? A glass of water you just drank, or a random rock you spotted on the ground. With them, it doesn’t really matter what it is, they’ll love it anyway.

That’s the whole premise of the subreddit r/notinteresting, except Redditors share their completely unremarkable moments with strangers online. And somehow, the internet gets weirdly invested. We’ve rounded up some of the best examples below.
