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.

Yeah I'm gonna defend this

lmao what a clown. There's plenty of abandoned stores in every city and empty lots. You don't have to go tear up mother nature when we don't even use the land we already have.

And people would have a fucking fit if they put a datacenter in the middle of their town.

The people out there aren't having a fit? Where's their silence?
