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'm upvoting this just so the non-americans can see how deep the stupid performative patriotism goes.

You want the winner of seeing how stupid our performative patriotism goes, The ad where they took snippets from a Martin Luther King Jr sermon to sell a car. The double irony, that very same sermon had a portion of it specifically calling out car comercials for encouraging us to want to spend too much money for the purposes of looking better than our neighbors.
