In Pokémon, the term “shiny” is used to describe a pokémon that’s a completely different color from all others in their species. The subreddit “Real Life Shinies” have expanded upon that to include real-life objects, plants, food, and people.
People are sharing examples of this cool phenomenon in the group. Maybe there’s a glitch in the matrix, or maybe nature is just lit. Either way, it’s cool to know this exists.
