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?

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.
