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.

Bro this ain’t the 1800s, we’re obviously using LED light strips for that now. The downside is that a single section goes dark and we lose mapping data for the entire northeast. Totally worth it though when they turn on the strobe effect.

I'm no weatherologist, but I think those may just be temporary.

What does weatherology have to do with landology? Educate yourself

Do I look like someone who went to university college to you?

If I knew what those words meant, I'd probably be offended

There's some fanfiction out there that can make you regret learning language at all.

You could probably handle lots of different subjects, Squidster
