Not everything we see and experience can be mindblowing. You’re not going to eat the most delicious dinner you’ve ever tasted every single evening, and not every film you watch will change your life. Sometimes, we eat meals that are “pretty tasty,” and we have no problem listening to music that’s “not my favorite but not bad.” That’s how we learn to appreciate what really is amazing!And just like in the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, there’s always a happy medium between something being too much and not enough. That’s where theMildly Interestingsubreddit fits in. This community, which has amassed an impressive 23 million members, is dedicated to sharing photos that fall just in between boring and fascinating.

Having the freedom to share onlymildlyinteresting posts can actually be a relief given the landscape of most of the internet nowadays. Social media often bombards us with countless perfect videos and images that are intended to teach us something new, change our lives and inspire us to follow the creator’s advice. The Mildly Interesting subreddit, on the other hand, has no such pressure. Just share things that made you think, “Huh, that’s interesting.”

I’ve heard the word “interesting” described as a “nothing adjective” before, meaning that it doesn’t actually tell us anything about what it’s describing. It might often be used when people really meant that something was strange, confusing, impressive, offensive, disgusting, exciting, funny, etc., depending on the context. But it’s also important to keep in mind that what one person considers interesting might be incredibly boring to another person.

Fast Companypublished a piece exploring what exactly it means to be interesting, and they pointed out that when we describe something as “interesting,” we’re probably not describing the actualthing. Instead, we’re describing our experience of seeing or doing something. “While we might describe objects as interesting, we should recognize that this is a loose, and shorthand, way to describe what’s really interesting–our experience of them,” Anisa Purbasari Horton explains, noting that we have to remember how subjective “interesting” is.

Horton also points out that, as humans, we often seek out interesting things or experiences, even if they may not be particularly pleasurable. We typically see value in doing something interesting, such as learning a new language or running a marathon, even though we might not enjoy them as much as, say, sitting at home and cuddling with our dogs.

While there are plenty of things that most of us can agree are quite interesting, we certainly don’tallagree on what grabs our attention. For example, a documentary about Ancient Rome or a nature documentary featuring deep sea creatures would not be my first choice of what to watch on any given evening. Yet my partner finds both of those things fascinating. I, on the other hand, would prefer to watch a documentary discussing cults, true crime stories or the problems with animal agriculture.

Do you dread going to an event where you meet new people and inevitably have to share an interesting fact about yourself? I have a few go-to fun facts that I’m always ready to tell strangers, but once I’m in a group of people that I already know, they’ve probably heard them before and I quickly run out of ideas of anything that sounds remotely interesting.If you’re in the same boat, have no fear.Science of Peoplehas a few ideas for how we can all become a little more interesting. And their first step, of course, is to stop doing uninteresting things. Watching Netflix, talking about the weather, and eating the same meals all the time should immediately be removed from your daily routine. You’ve got much more fascinating things to do!
