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.

It's kinda funny though, I have six friends I stay in touch with who live in the UK. They're all in London. No I didn't meet them there. Coincidence also reinforces confirmation bias. I know believe it is the only city.
