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.

Note to self: Don’t live there.
Don't worry it's a dry cold
And a humid heat
Not on the West side of the map it isn't
Thanks to global warming warming, that rash is spreading and it won’t be long until most live there.
The terrifying part is that adjacent to the Great Lakes was projected to be ground zero for incoming climate change refugees. Now it’s looking like they’ll be dried up
Wouldn't west coastal be better? Water to help regulate temperature, and you don't get the hurricane effects of the eastern coast
Rising sea levels, tsunamis and earthquakes. Oh my!!!
Plus, you need desalination to be able to do something with ocean water
Oceans in Southern California not warm enough to sustain hurricanes yet, on path to. Warming ocean will also raise humidity and have less of a cooling effect.
As a pretty much lifelong Wyomingite, it's not so bad. The wind is a bigger problem frankly.
