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.

Looked better without that fat orange man in it.

Oh god, what are all those things on the mantel? They look like random wine glasses that were covered in some melted gold, some... scales(?) the same way, and then some random ceramic goblets with spray paint?

I don't even want to start thinking about what the busts.

all that gold is disgusting in every way possible. that gold/money and the work that was put into putting it there could have help in child cancer research, or helping the poor and less fortunate around the USA and the world. Trump is not what America stands for and him defacing the white house like he is, is prof of that.

Is it solid gold or just gold plated junk?

It'd be funny if you (as in, Americans) hadn't elected the guy twice.

Now it's just apropos and depressing and I don't want to see it.
