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.

fun fact: 1$ bill weighs almost exactly 1 gram and you idiots don't even use the metric system.
Fun fact, all US customary units are defined in terms of the metric system. For example, 1 inch is exactly 2.54cm. which means a US mile is 1.609344km. Americans have be using a bastardized version of the metric system since 1959.

It actually changes based on how much cocaine and human fluids it absorbs. That sounds like a joke, but I used to calibrate currency scales. There would be one setting for regular bills, and one for crisp, brand new ones; those would weigh measurably less and required compensation.
We might consider it if you updated the definition so that 1 gram was exactly the weight of a US dollar
A nickel is 5 grams and you don't use the metric system either.
