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 actually changes based on how much cocaine and human fluids it absorbs. That sounds like a joke, but I used to calibrate currency scales. There would be one setting for regular bills, and one for crisp, brand new ones; those would weigh measurably less and required compensation.
