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 found a barrel just like that at an estate sale a few weeks ago! Part of me wanted it just because it looked cool.

There was one just like it at my old high school‘s auditorium that was used as a trash can. I have very fond memories of seeing it at drama club. I shared it with a lot of my friends, and even my old teacher, who I’m still in touch with, and everyone enjoyed seeing it.
