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.

OMG I WAS GONNA SAY THE SAME THING BUT I THOUGHT NO ONE WOULD HAVE A CLUE WHAT I WAS TAKING ABOUT!!!!! I've never met anyone in real life or online who ever heard of Zillion!

I started looking at the top floors first and my brain just could not process that those were numbers. Not until I started at the bottom and worked my way up.

Haha, yes this happened to me as well!

If you didn't say what they represent, I'd never of guessed

It pisses me off so much that 4 and 6 are backwards.

They're not though. Read from left to right they're oriented correctly. It's the other floors that are backwards when read left to right

Not if you look outside from within the building.

Oh, very interesting point. Either way some of them are backwards which is a shame for a cool design idea like this

I feel like the majority orientation determines the right orientation.
