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?

It’s a great photograph, but I can’t help but wonder if the photographer misinterpreted the situation. Perhaps it was more of a Dirty Dancing moment, and they were secretly practicing their routine for the big campground show... 🤔
It appears that they were indeed dancing. 😱
Don't let Disney see this
Dear God, you’re right…
They would sue the photographer for copyright infringement.
How the fuck did you do that? AI?
The person you're replying to is a taxidermist. They had some taxidermied mice lying around and after a bit of positioning and a few snaps composited the best shot into the photo OP posted.
Aha. It was AI.
Now I've had the time of my life…
No, I never felt like this before
But it's my birthday, precious...
A photograph called "Station Squabble" by Sam Rowley captures two mice appearing to fight on a London Underground platform. The scene was photographed late at night and quickly drew attention for its timing and realism.
The image went on to win the People's Choice Award at the 2019 edition of Wildlife Photographer of the Year, an international competition hosted by the Natural History Museum in London.

ok but who won
This image, can't you read?
The mouse
We all lose.
The system
I feel silly saying it but that is genuinely a ridiculously good photo.
*sniggers between covered mouth* This guys saying what we're all thinking, the fool!
...two mice fighting over crumbs...
This is the future the oligarchy wants
...there it is.
Rats
America 2026…
Might not even be over food. Mice are assholes to each other regularly, like cats.
Title should be:
"Politics at the end of the world'
So quiet you hear mice ... Ah, yeah, fighting over food, right.
