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.

In 2000 years, people are going to be excavating New England and wondering why there are so many Christopher Columbus and Robert E. Lee statues resting on old lake beds.

Somehow, I don't think they'll consider them works of art worth preserving.

It does. My brother and I call those dudes “Burger Kings” because they look like BK’s creepy king mascot

I'm picturing the god of having little wings growing out of your ankles getting cancelled.
