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?

This is the content I came for! This is fascinatingly mildly interesting
Happy to be of service :D
thermal fracture?
Feline drop
gotta hand it to it, it can handle it well
Sometimes all you need is to get a handle on things.
Would be a great kintsugi piece.
Just like me fr
What is your handle?
zangwill, duh
I think it's an art piece now
On that note
these two pieces together
Is it all one big piece, or is it three pieces working together 😄
Yes, I had to fight my own pedantry to post that phrasing! It's one piece, but calling it two pieces connected by a handle is the only way I could think of to describe it and actually be understood. I challenge you to come up with a title for this which is both easy to understand and topologically accurate.
If you consider a mug to consist of two parts, the handle and the cup, the cup has broken into pieces and the handle is holding two of them together. So I think "two pieces held together by the handle" is the most correct way to describe it.

Yes completely fair! I'm actually not sure about what would count as a separate "piece" with glassware and ceramics. There's probably a mereological argument for why its one or the other
Never heard that word before. Wikipedia: "Mereology is the philosophical study of part-whole relationships." Fascinating that there's a name for that!
Would you settle for
"OH SHIT...damnit. oh wait a minute..."
oof.
Better art than a banana taped to the wall.
Looking at how thick that glass is... Is the floor okay?
Lol, it's not that thick. The floor is not okay, but it's been like that for years :P
That floor is extremely relatable
Me starting a new relationship be like

I considered it. Should I cross-post?
I do strongly think that "mildly interesting" is the most accurate category for this
You picked correctly.
you gotta keep drinking from it
Why does it make every drink taste like blood 🤔
