There are so many interesting things out there. It's impossible for us to find all of them on our own. Fortunately, there are a lot of other people out there paying attention to a lot of different things, and they use the online community to share the interesting things they find. That way, we can learn a bit more about the world, or just be incredibly confused. Either one is an acceptable response to these, honestly.

The following images aren't just mildly interesting, they're pretty cool. It turns out that while life might not always feel super interesting, there's always something cool out there just waiting to be discovered. While we can't always stumble upon these things on our own, the online community gives us the great benefit of being able to see what everyone else stumbles upon, too. Fortunately, they were preserved and saved by hundreds of devoted Redditors on subreddits like /r/interestingasf*** and /r/woahdude. We've sorted through and found some of the coolest uploads to share, from historical photos to unintentional optical illusions, and there's something to interest everyone here.
