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.

Well yeah, the world and by extension your life is mostly harmless. It's quite the statistical anomaly when you do get harmed but it's not to say it's impossible.

People do tend to get stuck in that awareness of chance of harm and often over prescribe it to certain parts to keep up the fear. That's probably cause people are also mostly stupidly uninformed.
