Today, we have put some examples of such mundane-looking content on this list for you to browse, covering everything from pictures of people making their beds to information you didn’t know you were interested in knowing; cause you probably weren’t. Scroll down to find the examples below and see if you can figure out what draws us to browsing this type of content. Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Department of Psychology at University of Waterloo, Dr. James Danckert, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions on why we tend to be captivated by the humdrum. But sometimes, even if we start with bikes and fashion, we might end up scrolling through things that are completely unrelated or, quite frankly, not interesting. Yet, we choose to continue scrolling nevertheless and focus on what’s happening on the screen. “Clearly, the world still turns. It is true that for a small percentage of users—around 4%—the internet and smartphones, and social media can become problematic; and our boredom is one of the drivers behind these maladaptive relations to technology. But the problem is not the technology, it is how we engage with it and how we engage with the world around us more generally.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
