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.

As opposed to a partially different state? Is SC only partially different from NC?

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Hmm. Iowa lists the home county on their license plates, so I'm going to say that's a partially different state. But mostly, touché.

Also mildly interesting is that you noticed it. Or maybe that’s very interesting? Anyway I’m saying I wouldn’t have noticed!

one of the many benefits of adhd is you get to pay attention to a lot of things that nobody cares about.

Right? Red white and blue, but otherwise the same car for the most part.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is America, where that's considered a mid-sized SUV and pretty much everybody has one. But honestly I'm happy to see different colors here - pretty much every car these days is black, white, gray, or silver.

I use an orange antennae ball, just so that I can pick my vehicle out of a lineup...

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it cool to salute the American flag these days?

[–] bigbabybilly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What do I know? I’m Canadian haha. I saw the red, white, n blue and thought “murka”.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm Scandinavian, but I still wouldn't salute the American flag considering all the shit going down. It's been tainted.

Hope you enjoyed the festival! My in-laws are sorta from the area so I've been going every year for almost 20 years

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

nah, I was joking. I do live within a few hours though, just over the nebraska border.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Hah, my sympathies. I'm in York for the night, enroute to Denver

Another fun thing about 3 letters: pick any 3 and google them + "trucking". 9 times out of 10 there will be one or more companies with that name.

Example: JCX

vanity runs in the family. they paid for it.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Between two states, and they chose a letter/number combination that looks like any other plate? 🤔
