Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I would also add there's some inherent inertial component to upvotes. A submission that gets a few upvotes quickly will easily get more upvotes over time because it's more likely to float into visibility by other people, ultimately regardless of veracity.
As the saying goes, everything on the news is supposedly 100% true until it is about a subject matter one is an expert one.
