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.

Do you like to be ridiculously cold for five months, surrounded by a horrible smell the whole time? Have I got a job for you! (www.smithsonianmag.com)

Not only do you get to be surrounded by penguin shit for 5 months, there's no running water so you have to pee/crap in a bucket/outhouse, and they said the only time you can shower is when passing cruise ships let you. Also, due to the terrain, you basically can't go anywhere. Finally, there's practically no phone or internet connection either! Sounds like paradise! Sign me up!

So I can finally make progress on my video game backlog?

You also have to count thousands of penguins and sort about 25,000 letters.

You mean I have to grind in order to progress the main mission? That's not new.
