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.

Correction. That clump of bird looks like snow

I going to believe that's a frozen bird until I see you slice it with a katana.

I was going to slice it open but it's not there anymore. I guess I was wrong, it was a bird and it flew away.

I'm pretty sure that's just a squirrel hibernating. Don't disturb it or its parents will disown it and it'll die alone.

I bet the parents never really cared anyway

Squirrels fight in the womb so only the strong are birthed. This ensures the parental love of a parent isn't spread thin.

That makes a lot of sense. My siblings spent 18 years or more doing that. This approach is way quicker

Maybe it died and froze over
