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.

Because of the children, won’t someone think of the children?!

They already aren't allowed to smoke!

But parents are allowed to expose them to the smoke.

Do we need to ban everything that a shitty parent might not be able to keep away from their kids?

Why not expand the definition of child abuse to include these things instead of punishing people who are never around kids?

That sounds like a great idea, but it's going to be impossible to enforce.
