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.

fun fact: 1$ bill weighs almost exactly 1 gram and you idiots don't even use the metric system.

Fun fact, all US customary units are defined in terms of the metric system. For example, 1 inch is exactly 2.54cm. which means a US mile is 1.609344km. Americans have be using a bastardized version of the metric system since 1959.
