20+ Discoveries That Internet Users Were Astonished to Make

Curiosities
2 years ago

The world around us is really diverse and full of new and unexpected things. We bet that very few of us have held a $1,000 bill or a sperm whale tooth. And those who were lucky enough to see these things in person took a photo of them and showed them to other internet users.

At Bright Side, we love to discover new things and phenomena. This is what we saw for the first time today.

1. “The way my chai latte froze in the car”

2. Behind a movie theater screen

3. A spiderweb can hold at least a tablespoon of water. It’s remarkable how strong it is.

4. “I saw a pink pigeon on a UK high street.”

There is a theory that these birds appeared thanks to a pigeon keeper from Bristol. He dyed the pigeons pink to protect them from predators but then regretted his decision.

5. “Every time I assembled an IKEA piece of furniture, this thing was always left over.”

“And today I found out that it’s a specialized tool for holding a nail, so you can hammer it down without hitting your hand.”

6. “The tropical fruit I bought included a pink pineapple.”

7. “It’s snowing sticks instead of flakes today.”

8. This limited edition Pepsi bottle

9. Seedless kiwi

10. “I saw this electric Nutella dispenser in Germany.”

11. This is a $1,000 bill.

  • It is still legal tender. If you find one, you can deposit it at any bank for $1,000. But their real worth far exceeds the face value. Collectors often pay far more for one of these bills if it’s in good shape. © topcat5 / Reddit

12. “We found these scissors while remodeling a laundry room, and they are probably from like 50 years ago. They are used to cut wrapping paper.”

13. “I got an avocado with 2 pits.”

14. “The Chinese restaurant I went to has MSG as one of the condiments.”

Monosodium glutamate is the sodium salt of glutamic acid. It’s widely used in cooking as a flavor enhancer.

15. “I found this little guy when hunting in the stockroom. It’s a 1 ml beaker.”

16. “My variegated dragon scale Alocasia after 2 green leaves blessed me with a fully white/cream leaf!”

17. This is a sperm whale tooth.

18. “My girlfriend has a piece of china made in England and a Kazakhstani enamel pot with identical flower patterns.”

19. “This escalator that I went on today in one of the buildings in Rockefeller Center”

20. “This is a banana tree leaf. For scale, my wife is 5 feet tall, so the stem of the leaf measures 10 feet.”

21. This is what happens when you leave a case of soda in the truck of your car when the overnight temperature is −25°F.
