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.

If you wade or jump in, you'll be fine.

If your junk is dry, the fish can't get to it

If you fall in, not so much.

The most dangerous place to be is right on the shore. Either jump in or stay away. You have to commit around these nut-chompers.
