If you love discovering cool and unique stuff, there’s a special corner of the web just for you. It’s a Facebook group called ‘Weird & Interesting Things You Must See,’ where people gather to share the most fascinating content they come across online. Scroll down to see some of their best posts and don’t miss our chat with the group’s admins and clinical psychologist Dr Charlotte Russell about why we’re so captivated by the unusual. “This is a community where you can always expect the unexpected,” Kushani tells us. “It’s never boring and always exciting. From seeing walruses on floating couches to structural marvels like the Ouse Valley semi-circular arches that have used millions and millions of bricks, the group is all about interesting, entertaining, and informative content. You laugh, you enjoy, you feel, you relate and you even learn things here. All of this makes the community an enjoyable space for me and surely for the rest of the members.” She also had a great laugh at a photo of a man standing in front of a “Draw Bridge Ahead” sign. Instead of taking it as a warning for an upcoming drawbridge, he made a joke by drawing an actual picture of a bridge. “He took the sign a little too literally, and it’s pretty hilarious.” “As humans, we naturally seek out new and interesting things because we are hard-wired for it,” says Russell. “In modern life, we are often faced with routines that can be mundane or repetitive, and so people like to look at interesting content to break the monotony.” “There’s also an element of escape in looking at weird or funny clips and photos. When we’re having a tough day and need to unwind, turning to this kind of content can be a helpful way to manage feelings of overwhelm.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
