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.

I was at a local amusement park, where I noticed at the entrance, they offered free sunscreen.

I'm trying to guess without using a translation app, but my brain keeps leaning towards either "free body butter", which makes a little sense and "free butter shop", which makes no sense.

The Danish verb smøre is a general verb meaning 'to spread' or 'apply' a substance onto a surface. It is used for butter, sunscreen, cream, ointment, and similar substances. So its basically a wordplay, calling it a butter shop or butter stall
