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.

you realize basically every single western country has a decreasing population, right? immigration is currently the only thing keeping us all vaguely afloat.
If things continue like they are then in 50 years europe and america are gonna be fucking miserable as they're filled with old people and nowhere near enough people to take care of them.
Not decreasing fast enough. Also ‘western countries’ is irrelevant. It’s about global population.
We’re at 8 billion humans globally. A good goal would be a global population of 10 million.
