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.

Woah we used to do that when I was a kid, my dad would bathe after me. I thought we were just poor but now I guess we were just Japanese

With that phrasing, I don't know if you're confirming your nationality or just discovering it. I'm excited for you either way

That's very nice of you. But I wasn't really serious, according to myheritage.com.I am 1% Japanese. If it counts, half of my family comes from an island north of Japan o_o
