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.

It's kind of interesting, Charles Manson has more awareness than politicians, heads of state, and influencers about Earth, Environment, Geopolitics, Money, Life, Etc.

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.

I'm guessing there's an error somewhere, because this doesn't seem possible.

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.
