Mildly Interesting

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.

Must be something you have to really play with to grasp the wow factor. The video was pretty underwhelming. I would love to tell people at parties that my job is inventing new shapes. Also, Regős is giving off some very heavy eighties super-model vibes.

It’s just… heavily weighted… like… yeah? Duh? Was this a big surprise? It’s basically an obtuse pyramid with a weight. Is that supposed to be some new invention?

Read the damn article and you'll see why despite not being incredibly complex it's still not something anyone's ever built before
