Every single day, people learn something new. Maybe they’re learning about something you’ve known since you were a kid , something that would leave you shocked they hadn’t heard of it before, but really, we should celebrate people gaining knowledge at any point in their life!
This list follows in that spirit , though it’s less people learning something new, and more showing off brand new sights you likely haven’t seen before.
RELATED STORIES
“My fortune is interrupted by a second fortune.”
It’s true that a person is never too old to learn, but they might be just old enough to be interrupted! According to this fortune, anyway. Not to mention that problem remains exactly where you found it, in the middle of that sentence.
“My school lets you exercise off your library fines.”
This is a really nice program! Not to mention offering exercise equipment for those reading is also a really interesting move for a library. Strengthen your brain and your body all in one go!
“American Froot Loops are different colours than Canadian Froot Loops.”
The answer as to why this is came in the comments of the original post. Apparently, Canada started regulating what artificial ingredients could go into food, including the dyes that create the brighter colors seen on the right. The colors on the left are naturally sourced!
“My can of spaghettios didn’t have any spaghettios.”
At least you got a can of meatballs? Not what you were hoping for, I know, but that’s close enough to a meal. More than a can of runny tomato sauce would have been, anyway.
“A bird is raising it’s babies in a cigarette bucket at my workplace.”
Thankfully, the uploader of this photo let everyone know there’s now a sign on this bin telling people not to use it as there are baby birds in it, which is a huge relief for my immediate worry upon seeing this pic.
“The instructions for this swing suggest a male complete the assembly.”
Yeesh. There’s obviously a lot wrong with this and I’m hoping it’s just a poorly executed joke. They also seem to think really highly about whatever man is reading the instructions, there are plenty of women in my life more capable of doing strenuous activities than I am.
“Today’s sun eclipse as seen at sunset resembled a giant cat’s head.”
There was a kitty cat eclipse and no one told me? Man, the one time in who knows how many years that the sun got to take its most adorable form and I missed it.
“This squared pizza trashbin next to a regular bin.”
Thank goodness for this, pizza boxes are so annoying to throw out when you have a small recycling bin as my apartment does. If these could be installed in more places, that would be great, you never know when someone might walk by with a pizza box destined for the garabge.
“There is a small shell in my sea salt grinder.”
A few of your meals will have an extra sea-born kick to it. A nice boost in calcium and a fresh new taste for your tongue, it mingles well with the salt!
“Five Gum is apparently produced using genetic engineering?”
I thought this was just like a weird, edgy joke from 5 Gun, but someone actually had an explanation. “Soy lecithin from soybeans genetically engineered to resist glyphosate.” I don’t know what that means, but I trust it.
“This [gavel-shaped] pencil from the Bar Association.”
Well now who would want to use those erasers? You’d have to keep them intact in case you need to serve justice at a moment’s notice, you don’t want to be caught gavel-less in law school!
“This wheelchair ramp is made out of Legos.”
This is super cool, but it does beg the questions of ‘are Legos strong enough to support a wheelchair and the person in it?’ as well as ‘would the wheelchair user find this ramp functional?’. Only one way to find out.
“This gecko laying her eggs in the mount of my Ring cam.”

She looks a little embarrassed to have been caught. Or maybe afronted? “Um, hello, can you please put my roof back on? I haven’t damaged your home at all, it’s not polite for you to come and damage mine.”
“These new bathroom stall doors don’t have gaps on the sides.”
You’re telling me this technology has been available the whole time and we just haven’t been utilizing it? I could have been free from the anxiety of making eye contact with someone through the stall gap for years now?
“Our hotel has face towels specifically for make up removal.”
Remember when there used to be little signs asking for people to use special towels for makeup? That wasn’t obvious enough, so now they’ve upgraded to high-contrast face towels with visible instructions right on ’em. Surely no one could mess this up, right?
“Had to pay 50 [cents] to use the restroom, but there is a cutout for kids to use it free.”
Where on earth were you where you had to pay to use the washroom? Is this a cultural thing? Also, couldn’t an adult just crawl through the kid spot? I guess you have to be willing to do that in public to save 50 cents though, which not many people are.
“Old garden stone broke and revealed Mary and Jesus inside.”
Does anyone else feel a little creeped out by this? Especially with how weirdly decrepit the Mary and Jesus are even though they were sealed away inside the statue for ages? Just me?
“This rock [I] found in the woods.”
Believe it or not, this is actually a fossil! Someone in the comments explained that it’s a fossilized burrow infill, or animal burrows that were rapidly filled by another type of sediment, making a distinct pattern between the two soils. Neat!
“This cardboard bread clip. I’ve only ever seen plastic (North America) but it just makes sense.”
Whoa, I’ve only ever seen plastic too, this is pretty cool! Those bread tabs probably make up a huge amount of plastic waste, so swapping them out for cardboard is a smart choice that should have been made years ago.
“How our daycare reminded us about picture day.”
This is the way. There’s a big chance young kids will forget to tell their parents, and it takes the responsibility off them to make sure they don’t lose a letter or something saying what day is picture day. Also, they can’t peel off the sticker and play with it.
