20 Times People Made Discoveries That Will Quench Your Curiosity

Because of smartphones, life has noticeably accelerated. There is so much news and so many events that we simply don’t have enough time to pay attention to it all. As a result, our attention span has been shortened to 8 seconds (from 12), making it difficult to notice all of the out-of-the-way things we encounter.

We at Bright Side have found 20 people who were lucky to find real-life Easter eggs that made us wonder how many more surprises there are hidden around us.
