Cracking riddles is an enjoyable workout. That feeling of accomplishment when you solve a tricky one is extraordinary. Riddles are not just a great leisure activity, they also enhance our mental well-being, provide stress relief, and improve our thinking abilities. New studies suggest they can even help older people keep their brains working like they were 10 years younger.
Sometimes new doesn’t always mean just bought, and treasuring the old sentimental items can bring more smiles and enjoyment than buying them at the store. Even celebrities opt for this, adding delicate touches to re-worn pieces instead of extravagantly spending.

Some people’s lives are so extraordinary that they seem like they could be the plot of a Hollywood movie. These individuals have faced challenges, overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles, persevered in the face of adversity, and got into curious situations that no one could predict. In this article, we’ll explore the lives of people whose stories are truly remarkable.
Some things look so extraordinary we might doubt they’re real. It may be hard to wrap your head around the fact that nature or people can be so skilled at creating little masterpieces. Sometimes the former even surpasses the latter in terms of creativity. In any case, both do amaze us at times — just take a look at these 15 photos.
Drawn into a routine, we see the same things every day: we walk on the same streets, take the same buses, and meet the same people. Our eye is getting used to familiar things, and we often don’t notice many cool things that break through our routine and surround us. The heroes of this article have a talent for snapping the extraordinary in ordinary life.
If you need to “refresh” the day, sometimes a new discovery is enough. But we need to find something new, fantastic, and unbelievable — something we didn’t notice before to switch off from the daily grind. Hopefully, this can be done today with no extra effort.
A single instant in an ordinary day can boost it to extraordinary. All it takes is an encounter or discovery that takes us out of the routine we’re so used to, even if for a brief second. Whether it’s a real-life optical illusion or a wholesome animal interaction, folks are never shy about sharing their latest surprises from the universe online.
Even the most predictable thing can become extraordinary. A tree can grow upside down. A rock formation can look like a hamburger. And if you decide to take a walk in the forest and see a portal there, don’t get surprised. Maybe it’s just a uniquely crafted spider web.
A good day is awesome, but some funny, extraordinary episodes can make it twice or even 3 times better. Whatever it is. A broken coffee machine with a funny notification or taking your husband to an eye doctor. Just enjoy the moment and all its angles.
Many wonders in this world can literally catapult us into the extraordinary in the blink of an eye. Just imagine leaving the subway and suddenly hearing some Johnny Cash tunes. Played by a street musician right from inside a trash can!
According to a study, being surprised activates the pleasure centers in our brain and provides us with a nice shot of dopamine. And even though some unexpected sights might be unsettling at first, they will soon transform into a pleasant source of distraction. Because, after all, it’s those surprising moments that turn into the most interesting memories that stay with us for years to come.
We see and hear about so many things every day, but we don’t remember all of them. And maybe that’s because most of them are ordinary things we are used to seeing. However, sometimes we get to view extraordinary creations that our brain immediately grabs onto. Or maybe what we see already exists in some way, shape, or form in our knowledge base.
Sometimes we get lucky and encounter something extraordinary without actually looking for it. That’s when we grab our cameras and capture the moment. Later, we can use it as evidence to prove that there’s always something interesting nearby.
Nature is full of surprises, especially when it comes to humans. But luckily for us, it has a much broader concept of beauty. Some people are simply born special and for their parents, friends, and loved ones, they are the most wonderful creatures in the world. It seems nothing will ever stop them from enjoying this life fully and embracing all the magnificent moments it brings. We at Bright Side share all these values. And we have gathered some really inspiring pictures for you of the unbelievably wonderful people living around us.
It is not every day that we get to see a picture-perfect cluster of soap bubbles or a fire rainbow in the sky. But sometimes the universe decides to dazzle us and shakes its magic wand to make us witness something astonishing. Aside from being moments of great distraction, these sights are reminders that life is an enchanting journey filled with mysteries and wonders, something we tend to forget as we grow older.
Our day goes by as it normally does. We prepare breakfast, go to work, or read a story to our children without expecting anything strange to happen. And yet, it does. A statue dressed just like us, the logo of a fast food restaurant on the shell of an insect, a map of the world replicated in the sky... Coincidence? Or perhaps destiny’s way of revealing something to us: the most extraordinary thing is right in front of us — we just have to know how to look.
Sometimes we see the most extraordinary things where we don’t expect to see anything at all: the end of a rainbow right in front of us or a can of soda exploding. This means that life still knows how to amaze us. And our job is not only to notice things like this, but also to take a photo of it to share it with other people.
Nature has its own patterns, and we get used to seeing things in their common shapes and colors. But sometimes templates get crumbled and objects become unique. A potato can look like a kiss, mushrooms can grow to be the size of a small child, and the inside of an egg can contain another egg.
Our world is full of patterns but it is still unpredictable. We see some unique things with a special touch every day. A dog might have a spot on its ear that looks like a selfie. A pumpkin might be in the shape of a smile. These little things attract our attention and make us feel like we have to always be on the lookout for whatever Mother Nature has up her sleeve.
Imagine a place where animals have teeth the size of a hand, rocks shine in a radioactive green, and all 4 seasons of the year can be seen in just one day. That scenario seems something like what would happen in a catastrophic Hollywood movie, but it’s just our own Mother Nature showing all of its beauty and wonder to us.
We really have an obsession with rare things, they even make us think a bit irrational, studies show. And it’s not hard to understand this, because capturing a dead star, meeting the smallest frog ever, finding a super old coin, or seeing a unique sun reflection seems to be pretty exciting.
We never know when we’ll stumble across some treasure, just like this one family who’s home became a museum after discovering it was built on an archaeological site. Such finds can bring history into the present as we get a peek into how people of the past once lived. You never know, maybe tomorrow the world will surprise you like never before.
Amazing and incredible things are everywhere. We simply don’t stop long enough to notice them. Fortunately, there are curious people who find extraordinary things and share them with us on the internet.
Modern designers always try to create cool items that people want to spend money on. With their designs, everyday calendars, chairs, sleeping masks, phone cases, and even mugs turn into masterpieces that you can easily brag about.
If we lived in a The Lord of the Rings world, then albinos — the most mysterious people on Earth — would undoubtedly have been elves.
Every city and town on Earth is unique, but some specimens are so extraordinary that it’s hard to believe they really exist. Bright Side found the weirdest towns on our planet. Some of them are worthy of a long weekend visit.
Different movies appeal to different moods and personalities. You may like comedies or horror films, romantic movies or thrillers, but there are ones that do not really fall into any of these categories. These movies don’t make you laugh or cringe in fear — they motivate you, making you feel that you’re able to do anything at all if you set your mind to it.
