The internet is overflowing with fascinating things, but finding them can feel like swinging a metal detector across a never-ending beach. There’s a lot to dig through before you hit anything worth your time.
Thankfully, r/interesting on Reddit does the hard part for you. It’s where people share the things that grabbed their attention and pass them along to anyone who’s curious enough to care.
So of course, we jumped in and brought back our favorites. Scroll through, enjoy, and don’t forget to upvote the ones that truly earned their name.

Bodyscan Of Woman At 250 And 125 Pounds
We all seek out the interesting in our own way. Whether it’s falling down a Reddit rabbit hole, bingeing documentaries, getting lost in a good book, or actually touching grass (some more urgently than others), we’re all looking for that little spark.
Often, it’s not just because we want to satisfy our curiosity, it’s because we want to connect. Sharing something fascinating, even if it’s just a news story you DM your friend on Instagram, is one of the easiest ways to bond with others.

In 1976, Shavarsh Karapetyan, An Armenian Olympic Swimmer, Saves 20 People Trapped In A Bus That Sank 80′ Offshore. It Took Him Several Hours To Save Them All, And He Suffered Injuries That Put Him In The Hospital For 45 Days—It Ended His Olympic Career
In that sense, we’re not only trying to find what’s interesting, we also want to be interesting. For ourselves, and yes, in the eyes of others.
Of course, that’s easier said than done. There’s always someone out there who seems funnier, more knowledgeable, effortlessly witty, with impeccable taste and a brain like a trivia machine.

A 10mb Hard Drive From The 60s

Later than that as well. For many years I worked on CDC cyber 860s and 70s. That’s what was in the discs packs that had to be mounted. FFS we carry around in our pockets far more computing power than we had in entire big rooms into the ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s.
But here’s the twist: that shouldn’t be discouraging. In fact, it can be motivating. Being an interesting person isn’t a competition, it’s a chance to grow. So how do you do it?
Arlin Cuncic, MA, author of The Anxiety Workbook and founder of About Social Anxiety, shared some practical advice in a piece for Verywell Mind. And spoiler: it’s not as hard as it sounds.

In 1980, The FBI Ran A Sting Operation Using A Fake Company To Offer Bribes To Members Of Congress. Nearly 25% Of The Targets Accepted And Were Convicted
If you’re already here, chances are you’ve taken the first step. Because the easiest way to become more interesting is to be genuinely curious about the world and the people in it.
When you’re curious, you’re more likely to ask questions and engage in real conversations. You’re also more open to new experiences.
In fact, social psychologists have found that people who are curious and ask lots of questions are often perceived as more likable than those who don’t, says Cuncic.
But curiosity alone isn’t enough. You also need to be willing to leave your comfort zone.
This might mean trying something new or talking to people you wouldn’t normally approach.
“Go out of your way to talk to people, even if you don’t know them well. If you’re at a party, for example, make an effort to talk to different people. Not only will this make you more interesting, but you’ll also be more likely to meet new friends and potential partners,” advises Cuncic.

When A 6.8 Earthquake Hit Olympia, Washington In 2001, A Shop Owner Found That A Sand-Tracing Pendulum Recorded The Vibrations
Once you’ve gathered new experiences, learn to tell them well. Good stories stick with people.
“An interesting person is often a good storyteller,” says Cuncic. “When you share your experiences with others, make sure to make them captivating. This doesn’t mean that you should make up stories; just be sure to focus on the most interesting aspects of your life.”

A 14-Year-Old Boy Fell From A Plane On Takeoff From Sydney Airport After Hiding In A Wheel Well. An Amateur Cameraman Was Testing Out His Camera When He Accidentally Captured The Fall
Just don’t overdo it. People can spot a try-hard from a mile away. And honestly, there’s nothing worse than a performative, hashtag-deep guy who shows up to a party quoting Nietzsche just to impress girls, but clearly couldn’t care less about what he’s saying.
So, be authentic. Don’t force it. Embrace your weirdness, your quirks, your real interests. That’s what people actually connect with.

The Silver Snipers Are A Cs:go E-Sports Team In Sweden Where The Youngest Member Is 62 Years Old And The Oldest Is 81
And above all, have fun. If you get too caught up in the “how to be interesting” mindset, you’ll forget to do the thing that makes you interesting in the first place: living your life.
“When you’re enjoying yourself, it’s more likely to come across as interesting to others. This is because people are attracted to those who are fun and upbeat,” explains Cuncic.
Bottom line? Let your curiosity guide you, but don’t let it stress you out.

Dad Of The Year
“The “Dad of the Year” award goes to a flathead catfish spotted in the Black River, North Carolina. A sudden drop in water left this fish stranded at the base of a decaying tree. At first, I wondered why it hadn’t moved as the water receded—until I noticed the pile of pink eggs beside it. It became clear that the fish stayed to protect its young. Male catfish often guard the eggs and fend off potential threats, sometimes even from the mother. This was one of the most remarkable examples of survival I’ve witnessed in swamps. Cypress swamps are tough environments, shaped by seasonal water fluctuations that influence the lives of their inhabitants. Although I didn’t wait to see what happened to this devoted father, I was heartened to see the water levels rise just a few days later.”

This Showed Up In My Country I Think In This Year Or Last Year But It Freaked Everyone And People Were Talking About It For Weeks. Does Anyone Know What This Could Mean?
UberNZ:
My guess would be lenticular clouds. Moist non-turbulent air blows over a hill, the air cools as it gets lifted, which makes the moisture precipitate as a cloud. It appears to stay still, and the shape resembles a stack of lenses.
You need just the right terrain, moisture, a bit of breeze, but not a lot of shear … it’s pretty rare. It also looks freaky as fuck, so a lot of UFO sightings can be traced back to lenticular clouds.
