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.

Yes you are. BBC says it so it has to be true. You just probably don't remember doing it and can't see it on the windows.

Did you came here for the 5 minute argument or the 30 minutes one?

An argument’s not just saying, “no we’re not”!
