Not everything has the potential to be fascinating, astounding, or life-changing. Not every song can win a Grammy, and not every book will be a New York Times bestseller. But it's all right! If everything was always the finest, biggest, and boldest, we would be severely overstimulated. You shouldn't have the spiciest dish you've ever tasted for every meal, or you'll never learn to enjoy cuisine with a satisfying kick. It's acceptable for things to occasionally just be subdued.
We've searched through the Mildly Interesting subreddit to compile all the middle-of-the-road fun facts and not quite interesting stuff people have lately learned or seen for you below. Don't expect absolute greatness because we don't want to oversell this list. Yet you should anticipate learning something! Maybe in the meantime? Perhaps what one man finds somewhat fascinating, you find extremely fascinating.
