‘Weird & Interesting Things You Must See’ is a relatively new addition to the internet, created just a few months ago in May. Despite its recent start, the page has already attracted 87K followers. To find out what makes the group so special, Bored Panda spoke with two of its admins, Kushani Gunathilaka and Hasitha Eranga.

“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.”

“When we’re curating content for our group, we’re on the lookout for things that will surprise and delight [our followers]. We’re not just looking for the same old familiar topics—we want to find stuff that will make them go ‘Huh, I've never seen this before!’ or ‘Wow, I never thought about it that way!’” says Hasitha. “That’s what we mean by ‘weird.’ It might be something that challenges our assumptions, pushes us out of our comfort zone, or simply makes us laugh.”
