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 made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong! (yourschoolgotwrong.com)

I graduated in 2003. My DARE teachers basically taught drug abstinence and telling an adult about people offering you drugs. The really didn't talk about gateway drugs and what it does to your brain. This was in Illinois.

You're not the first person to mention some regional differences. Think this is opening up a bigger research project of year graduated to region!

I graduated a few years before you, also in Illinois, and can confirm that.

I can also confirm that I have not resisted the devil’s lettuce.

I graduated in 2017, they definitely did for me in elementary school.
