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.

I would say as someone who has spent significant time in the UK, US, and Australia. That irl, people outside the US swear far more. Maybe USians are taking out their frustrations online since they don’t let themselves do it as much irl?

Well we have to be real careful because if we swear at the wrong person we get another mass shooting. Also that just happens anyway but we don’t like to identify the real reasons for that kind of thing so let’s blame swearing for a while.
