50 ‘Mildly Interesting’ Things You May Have Never Seen Before, As Shared In This Online Group (New Pics)
Not everything can be fascinating, mind-blowing and life-changing. Every film cannot win Academy Awards, and every book will not be a New York Times bestseller. But that is okay! If everything was the best and the biggest and the boldest all the time, we would be wildly overstimulated. Every meal should not be the spiciest dish you’ve ever tasted, or you would never appreciate food with a good kick. Sometimes, it’s okay for things to just be mild.
In celebration of all the middle of the road fun facts people have recently learned and not-quite-fascinating things people have recently seen, we’ve gone through the Mildly Interesting subreddit to gather them for you below. We don’t want to oversell this list, so don’t expect absolute greatness. But you probably can expect to learn something! Who knows? Maybe what one man considers mildly interesting, you consider very interesting. Keep reading to also find an interview with Oliver Wilson, host of The Mildly Interesting Podcast, and be sure to upvote all of your favorite pics. Then if you’d like to see the last Bored Panda article featuring the same subreddit, you can find it right here.

A Few Months Ago I Stabbed A Bottle Of Hand Sanitizer With A Tack. Something Is Now Growing On The Tack
Dynein 4 years ago (edited)
Possible explanation: The main sanitizing component could be alcohol, which evaporates much quicker than e.g. water. It might have evaporated slowly through the stab hole, or a bit faster if also the lid wasn't closed tightly. With most of the alcohol gone, microorganisms would be able to grow again. Why on just the tack? Well, many microorganisms can form/turn into hardy dormant cells that can survive even in harsh environments - you'd need more than a bit of alcohol to kill them off. The bottle, as opposed to the tack, was likely properly washed and/or never had that many germs to start with. The dormant cells residing on the tack, however, would have been able to survive the alcohol and start growing once conditions got better.

This is not the same product. 2x4 refers to the unfinished dimensions. The block on the left is unfinished, the one on the right has been finished. It is easy to see the right one has had the corners rounded, and the surface sanded.
