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.

It's mildly interesting, but mostly about the way they heat beds.

Modern, probably even more sustainable equivalent, would be heated seats and heating blankets.

Yeah, but that's relatively common in China.

It's not like it's a unique thing this city and only this city does.
