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 live in IN, across the river from KY. This sounds completely on brand.

Do you ever take the time to gaze across the river and feel like you're looking at a zoo enclosure?

Looking across the river into Kentucky from Indiana, is like being a bonobo in one zoo enclosure looking at the enclosure next to yours' full of chimpanzees.

Ah, Henderson. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

You should be the US’s official cultural and geographical explainer to the dozens of us foreigners that are on the internet these days. I’ve just learnt all I need to know about two places/states in one sentence. To follow the analogy perhaps you should rename the river between the two places “Congo”.
