20 Cool Things People Learned While Out And About

Great things come when we least expect them to. We could be wandering down the street and before we know it, bam , we’re struck with a new piece of knowledge we’ll now carry forever.

That’s what happened to the people on this list, but they took it one step further and shared their newfound smarts online so others could experience the same lesson they did.

“This bench has an [adjustable] connecting bar so the tree in between can grow.”

Image credit: Reddit | JosZo
Reddit | JosZo

My first thought was why not put the bench somewhere else, but this was done on purpose!

It’s an art piece designed by Richard Hutten for the Kranenburg art museum in The Netherlands. The idea is that the tree will eventually grow into the benches, a design that will never be finished so long as the tree keeps growing.

“This limited edition Pepsi bottle.”

Image credit: Reddit | ThatAmericanMemer
Reddit | ThatAmericanMemer

Why do the best designs always have to be limited edition? Do you know how much more likely I would be to pick up a bottle of Pepsi at the store if they looked like this? I’d feel fancier just having it in my house!

“I just found that my grandpa wrote a national anthem for Nigeria as part of a competition in the late 1950’s for their independence.”

Image credit: Reddit | fofizzleshizzle
Reddit | fofizzleshizzle

Whoa! What a neat fact to learn about a family member. While it didn’t win, knowing he loved his country enough to participate in a contest like this and learning that he was a composer are both two incredibly neat things!

Return to sender.

Reddit | fofizzleshizzle

“I ordered some protein bars and they sent [an] envelope to send back the wrappers for recycling. The envelope has a paid postal stamp which covers the entire cost of delivery.”

This is such an adorable initiative, one that surely eliminates a lot of this company’s plastic waste.

“My university converted a nearby church into a lecture hall.”

Image credit: Reddit | RandomUser3248
Reddit | RandomUser3248

It kind of makes sense. Spacious, designed to carry voices well, already has that rows-of-people setup, it’s perfect! Not to mention it breaks up the monotony of classroom after classroom for the students, allowing them to feel a little invigorated.

“My city has public bike pumps, Mandal, Norway.”

Image credit: Reddit | ChillDolphin
Reddit | ChillDolphin

There are many cities in North America that claim to be friendly for cyclists, but all that really means is that they installed bike lanes in the downtown area.

This is what it truly means to be cyclist-friendly, really thinking about what would help them and how to include that in the infrastructure!

“The spiderwebs outside our window froze and collected frost.”

Image credit: Reddit | UxControl
Reddit | UxControl

Is it the dead of winter but you still want to tap into those spooky Halloween vibes? Well, may I introduce frost-bitten spiderwebs! All the eerie atmosphere of regular spiderwebs, but now with a visual effect only created by Mother Nature’s vice grip on the world right now.

“This barbwire display I found in a taverns bathroom.”

Image credit: Reddit | mrdalo
Reddit | mrdalo

This really is a set of fun yet entirely useless facts. I wasn’t even aware there were different styles of barbed wire, and this shows not only that but the date they were created too! This knowledge will never help me, but it’s nice to have.

“In South Korea, Kodak sells high end clothing and accessories.”

Image credit: Reddit | englishteacher1212
Reddit | englishteacher1212

Honestly? I kind of dig some of this stuff. The tote bag with the logo is a nice classic look, but I’m also enjoying that green jacket on the mannequin to the left…

Am I seriously considering a trip to Korea just to go to the Kodak store?

“My coworker 3D printed a treat dispenser for his dog that he brings to the office.”

Image credit: Reddit | eppinizer
Reddit | eppinizer

I really enjoy the use of the word ‘offerings’ here, like this dog is the small-village deity of your office that one must be willing to make sacrifices to in order to appease her and prevent her from using her power to obliterate the whole block.

“Inside paint mixing machine. 16 colours that make more than 20,000 different colour shades.”

Image credit: Reddit | indiansummer5
Reddit | indiansummer5

Please tell me there’s at least one paint mixer out there who calls these colors by the labels shown here.

“It’ll take a solid base of UGG, a bit of UYY, a few dashes of URT and just a quick dollop of UMM to get the color your want.”

“This slate arrangement next to a staircase is in the form of a Fibonacci Spiral,”

Image credit: Reddit | MstrCmd
Reddit | MstrCmd

I can’t quite tell how I feel about this. I’d have to see the entire room to really get an idea, but at the very least, it’s unique. You rarely see people incorporating the Fibonacci Spiral of all things into their home arrangements.

“Burger restaurant near me uses a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass muscle car as its delivery vehicle.”

Image credit: Reddit | flynnfilms
Reddit | flynnfilms

How is this not the only place people in this town ever order from? This is the coolest method of delivery out there! Being able to take a nice classic car for a spin while also bringing people their dinner must be a great job, too.

“These houses I saw in SF that are two different aesthetics.”

Image credit: Reddit | KierSaysSo
Reddit | KierSaysSo

Alright, everyone start placing their bets. Are the people who own these homes sworn enemies, forever at aesthetic odds and continuously clashing on purpose, or are their forbidden lovers, so convinced the other wouldn’t give them a chance that neither has made a move?

“My university has single stall urinals.”

Image credit: Reddit | sixtiesCS
Reddit | sixtiesCS

I’m a guy who loves my privacy and hates public bathrooms with a passion, so this is a movement I can really get behind. Not just for urinals either, but for every type of bathroom stall. It’s either fully closed off rooms or bust.

“My peanut M&M and cat treats come in the exact same container.”

Image credit: Reddit | Ghoulbreak
Reddit | Ghoulbreak

Thankfully these aren’t two things you can really confuse for the other, unless you’re supremely tired or essentially blind, in which case you probably have some bigger concerns outside of accidentally giving your cat a single M&M.

“Arizona makes fruit snacks.”

Image credit: Reddit | choicedkarp
Reddit | choicedkarp

As a local Arizona Green Tea fanatic, I need to know where to get these at my earliest convenience so that I can enjoy yet another form of the greatest drink known to man. I’ll try the others too, I guess.

“This bag designed for pizza.”

Image credit: Reddit | iiTaurusii
Reddit | iiTaurusii

This right here is the future. This is true innovation. A problem we’ve had for as long as pizza boxes have been around has finally been solved. How is this not all over the news? We need to get the word out right away!

“Lego chests haven’t changed in 30 years. The one on the left is brand new, the one on the right is from the 90s.”

Image credit: Reddit | IncendiaryIceQueen
Reddit | IncendiaryIceQueen

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? I imagine there are a great number of Lego pieces that have stayed the same throughout the years, they don’t seem like the type of product that needs frequent revisions.

Then again, Lego fans are pretty hardcore, so I’m sure someone will come along to correct me about this.

“This mirror in the front of my hotel looks like you can walk through it.”

Image credit: Reddit | arjuna20
Reddit | arjuna20

This is extremely disorienting, but also extremely tempting. You think it’s just a cleverly designed mirror, which is exactly what they want you to think. Step through that sucker and you’ll see it was never a mirror at all. We finally found a portal to other dimensions, and it was right under our noses this whole time.
