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 unfortunately have to downvote this as this is far too interesting to be mildly interesting.

This is extremely interesting and illuminating. The kind of thing I’ve been interested in my whole adult life.

I grudgingly have to upvote you for being accurate even though the information is creating great discussions.

It was definitely a reluctant downvote from my side as well. But I feel this community is honestly abused and not living up to its name with the amount of "VeryInteresting" content.
