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.

Their findings paint a sobering picture: while some states saw dramatic gains in life expectancy, others, particularly in the South, experienced little or no improvement over an entire century.

I’ll say it again: Fuck the south
