Mildly Interesting

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.

Estonia has many "erratic boulders" left over from previous ice ages. They have government protection.

Tfw you'll never be an erratic boulder protected by Estonian government.

I wouldn't mind more natural features in stores.

I remember some store or business that was builtt over some archeological site and was only later discovered during some maintenance work. As a compromise they installed a transparent floor to showcase the digging site.

Yeah, this looks just plain awesome. Grocery stores are so bland and samey, it'd be nice if they had more creative decor like this.

There's a few in Europe and the UK that have glass floors to showcase protected ancient structures.

So are these protected just because they've existed for so long? Makes sense I guess, but why not relocate it, ya know?

Why was the grocery store permitted to be built? Why can't it move?
