Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How long have pics existed? How long is history? And yet I'm thinking there could still be a pic.

IIRC history started with the invention of written word, somewhere around 6000 years ago

Cave art existed for at least 40000 years

I would say, that drawings also count as history. They show glimpses how how life has been 10.000 and more years ago.

Can I introduce you to the insect world?

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

You absolutely can, right after we're done talking about human orgys.
