TL;DR:  Let’s try to be less interesting!

Hello from your mod team (seems like just me, if you’re interested in being a mod ping me)!

I’ve noticed that things have been getting pretty interesting around here lately and we need to tone that back a little.  The goal of this community is to share things that aren’t particularly interesting that you come across. 

Yes, “interesting” is very subjective, but I think we need to go back to our roots and consider what brought us all here… we wanted to be mildly interested.

Also, this isn’t a place for politics.  There are many other communities for that, let’s keep it there.  

Here are a couple great examples of what I feel we should strive for:

That’s all for now, thanks for your support and understanding.

Yes, there's issue with the plant. Yes, there's issue with pollination. Yes, planting corn in small amount is difficult.

The telephone number immortalized in the enduring Tommy Tutone hit song 867-5309/Jenny has started connecting callers to a cancer support line – as one ad touting the news says it was time that music’s most famous digits “did some good”.

Cancer Support Community (CSC)’s Instagram page announced the campaign with a series of posts on Monday alluding to the song about a guy who nervously ponders calling the phone number of a woman named Jenny, which is scrawled on a bathroom wall.

“The number you and your friends sing at karaoke is now the number for cancer support,” one of the posts said, with the 1980s rock classic blaring in the background.

Luckily this did not affect any other part of my body but it does make shoe shopping awkward 😉

Avulsion injury occurred in 89 of 164 experiments (54%) with risk increasing with the detachment force (p < 0.001). Peak tongue detachment force was associated with contact time (p < 0.001), tongue region (apex versus basis, p < 0.01), and release type (rapid versus gradual, p < 0.001). A non-linear relationship was found between metal temperature and detachment force (p < 0.01), with peak adherence at approximately −7.5 °C. Histological evaluation demonstrated intra-epidermal damage that could be rationalized with computer modelling. Nearly all experiments (92%) caused macroscopic, but not microscopic, cold injury, with risk increasing at lower metal temperatures. Computer simulations suggest that tissue damage is related to superficial tissue freezing that occurs under typical winter conditions and short exposure times.

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.
