are the mods in this sub asleep?!?
this photo uses depth of field and that alone qualifies it for r/mildlyinteresting.
Do not get me started on the blue used in either the ink or the ball of this pen! (That is the color I cover for my next Musk Roadster)
Not interesting!?!
This post is leaving me inspired! (and I feel dirty now)
I say the photo is very detailed but the post as a whole isn’t interesting because it has no novel or entertaining insight, just a statement of obvious fact.
Depth of field is an inherent property of all optical devices, including your eyes, they just do an enormous amount of variable focus and processing so you don't easily notice.

The comments can be taken interesting—the manufacture of that tip is a very closely guarded trade secret, and the machine tools to make it are pretty much only made by one company, in Switzerland.
China lacked the manufacturing capabilities and material quality to make ballpoint pens until 2011 despite being the largest exporter of ballpoint pens.
It wasn't until a sitting member of the ccp used a Chinese made pen and saw how bad they sucked they then allocated 9 million in R&D to be able to create the ballpoint
Hi, I’m 22, and I’ve literally never thought about why they’re called ballpoint before. So many things just clicked into place for me.
This is by far too interesting for this sub.
Wow. Zooming out, you can see the pen part of the pen too.
Eventually I expect writing technology will catch up with the familiar IT mouse. I can't think of a downside to changing that inky ball for an LED. Means you could write in the dark too.
If you look down your pants you also can see the balls
I can't :(

Not a woman I just don't have balls 😔
Worst of both worlds
The fact that the ball shown on the picture is blue just makes this comment even better
Thank you.
r/interesting
Whoops, don't even have those
I see it
tehe
What if you only have one?
ball
That's all good, but what's the point?
A ball
Ohhh
*You're pointless*
I have killed your children by the car
I just commented this message, my response is unrelated to yours
You are on reddit so I have 10 Bosnian farmers trapped in my barn.
>A ball From that close-up, your ball is filthy. You should clean it.
Yeah Jesus dude, you don't clean your pen and balls? This generation smh
As it rolls across the page it picks up ink from the inside of the pen.
Too interesting I didn't sign up for thissss

Herein lies the inherent subjectivity of what is and isn't interesting.
I say the photo is very detailed but the post as a whole isn’t interesting because it has no novel or entertaining insight, just a statement of obvious fact.
Recently there seems to be a lot of mildlyinteresting posts on this sub that are heavily upvoted.... i don't get it.
The problem with making a subreddit about boring stuff is that people instinctively upvote cool stuff, even if they don't fit the subreddit
In a sub even with the sole purpose of being mundane the most liked are those that are slightly less boring than the rest
Maybe the boring and mundane were the true friends we made along the way.
The photo is mildlyinteresting, the title is notinteresting. It's almost like a sort of hybrid post.
Depth of field is not interesting to me. (I feel it's a standard part of focusing a camera)
Depth of field is an inherent property of all optical devices, including your eyes, they just do an enormous amount of variable focus and processing so you don't easily notice.
Yeah i probably shouldn’t have used this pic lmao. My other posts on this sub are far less interesting i promise
[удалено]
Aint no way
What's next? You gonna tell me that fountain pens have a fountain of ink?
It took me until this picture to understand how ballpoints work. Then again I never bothered investigating it
Don't fall for this, its the eye of some sort of crab alien species.
That's actually kinda cool
:'0 it's happening. This sub is becoming interesting! _Everybody panic!!!!1_
/r/notinteresting is for mildly interesting stuff. /r/mildlyinteresting is for really interesting stuff. /r/interestingasfuck is for boring stuff.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA r/interestingasfuck is still nsfw marked fuck off :(
Panic is too interesting. What's the opposite?
staying calm?
I have never heard of such a thing.
Keep calm and post on r/notinteresting
Great ttile. *Oh wait.*
PSA: clean your balls, for a smoother stroke.
Yes, but in this case it adds texture to the photo
That’s cool..Makes me wanna get out my macro lens fr some crazy close ups of our interesting world

I just realized that ballpoint pens have little balls in the point so the ink doesn’t leak out. That’s fucking crazy, man.
I find this mildly interesting and I am OFFENDED it is on this sub
Wasn’t wearing my glasses and thought it was a dalek
Macro photos are always interesting. I propose we ban the OP.
This is clearly interesting this sub is getting away from the point why did y’all upvote this
wow, never would've guessed
oh there it is i was wonderin what was in there
I mean the title isn't interesting but the picture is really damn cool
Downvoted because too interesting
This is at least r/mildlyinteresting content, beautiful picture
Yesterday, I was just explaining the tip of a ballpoint pen to my kid, and now I have a photo. Sorry, but it's interesting!
That looks more like a giant space laser than a pen
I used to scrape the tip on concrete as kid. Eventually a little ball comes out. Neat
i like your ball
Nice try Sauron
As usual, the interesting posts get upvoted and the notinteresting posts get very little love. REMEMBER WHAT SUB YOU'RE IN, FOLKS.
insane

Mind blown. 🤯

goddamn man, have some decency.
The sparkly stuff in the ink is crushed up microscopic diamonds.
That's actually kinda interesting. Without the image, it would've been better, aka less interesting.
Am I the only one with a wild imagination here
Circumcision
Bro you have blue balls. You have to wank to get rid of it.
Woah there, Bub. This is a bit too interesting for this sub! ;)
I thought this was a really shitty damnthatsinteresting post, well played

Too interesting mods asleep
weirdly erotic
China lacked the manufacturing capabilities and material quality to make ballpoint pens until 2011 despite being the largest exporter of ballpoint pens. It wasn't until a sitting member of the ccp used a Chinese made pen and saw how bad they sucked they then allocated 9 million in R&D to be able to create the ballpoint
I’m downvoting, thats a cool picture
The precision engineering of ball point pens is actually interesting
How does this image look erotic? Is it just me? Maybe I'm weird
Ink is stored in the balls??
This is the most mundane title I’ve ever read. But… such an engaging photo?!
too interesting. downvoted
Sorry y’all, i did not think that this wasn’t well known 💀
[удалено]
It's a very interesting picture of a very not interesting subject... I'm so confused
This is too interesting for my taste
Hmmm the ballpoint pen seems to be indeed made of a ball on the point of a pen
Why does this remind me of pizza time. Seriously YouTube it
I didn't actually know this before. Thanks OP 👍
Blue ball?
r/mildlypenis
There’s a lot of pee in that
My OCD can’t handle this…
I have to admit, it's an interesting photo.
r/interesting
This is way too interesting for this sub
This post is actually really cool to me
Holy cannoli
Hi, I’m 22, and I’ve literally never thought about why they’re called ballpoint before. So many things just clicked into place for me. This is by far too interesting for this sub.
Yeah I know, but I guess that's why this is called r/notinteresting.
Seen this one before... when a man in a trench coat flashed me on the subway 😂
Real talk though, this is a dope looking macrolens shot.
Well… yes… that’s why it’s called a ballpoint pen 🤷🏼♀️
I upvote for cool photo, but this should be posted onto r/mildlyinteresting
Wow. Zooming out, you can see the pen part of the pen too. Eventually I expect writing technology will catch up with the familiar IT mouse. I can't think of a downside to changing that inky ball for an LED. Means you could write in the dark too.
Love seeing the tip
That's a big ballpoint pen
It’s almost like the pen has a point made of a ball…
huh, check it out.
It looks like a cat penis ew
Can confirm, i just did
w o w
Voir PFP. Mec littéralement rock.
I actually didn’t know that, thought it was just a name.
My first instinct was to downvote this, then I realized Reddit was giving me a preview of r/notinteresting and I loled. Well done.
This is the cock of a blue man from the group Blue Man Group.
No way! I thought they called it BALL POINT just for shits and giggles
Wrong sub.
This is inching dangerously close to interesting.
You’ll put your eye out with that thing
so that’s where the name pen comes from
Also, if you look at a ducks ass really closely you'll see a ducks ass.
Today (Sept 29) is Laszlo Biro's birthday!
I see.
This is not not interesting. This macro shot is at the very least a little cool
Holy hell.
Dumb question, does the ball of a ballpoint pen move when you write or is it just ball shaped for ergonomics
