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.

I unfortunately have to downvote this as this is far too interesting to be mildly interesting.

This is extremely interesting and illuminating. The kind of thing I’ve been interested in my whole adult life.
