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 hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

My friends dad died of a heart attack like 2 days we sprang forward for daylight savings time. Apparently there is a statistical correlation with increased heart attacks during this time likely due to the lost hour of sleep. I'm sure he would have eventually died of a heart attack because of his lifestyle, but I'm quite convinced it was a part of what caused it to happen on that day.
