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 expected this to be smaller everyday objects but they have like DIY game consoles, telescopes, green houses, lots of useful projects. Awesome compilation resource.

Interesting book, very unusual organization - things are grouped by category but there's no index and very little text, it's all line drawings with small descriptions at the bottom of the pages. The drawings are clickable links - which might go to files to 3d-print, or a sewing project, or some other thing. Fun to peruse and very well compiled - it's a huge collection of ideas, but I have a feeling people might balk at the lack of a text-based index.
