I’ve never once found anything more interesting than a stray receipt in my own pocket, so reading through r/MildlyInteresting always leaves me a little jealous of people who apparently stumble onto random stuff like this just going about their day.

None of them are incredibly groundbreaking, that’s sort of the entire point of the subreddit. But every one of these finds made someone stop, take a photo, and decide it was worth sharing.

These are the best things people found recently, and a few of them are going to make you look a little closer at whatever’s around you today.
