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.

That's because it's propaganda. The person who created the image has a particular point of view and has manipulated what they choose to present to push that view forward.

Whether that view is correct or not is irrelevant to the fact that this is manipulative.

Post more images of things being built! Thanks for having beautiful summer days as the before, and fugly winter as the after to make the difference that much starker, the point of view we're intended to have after viewing this almost wasn't clear enough
