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.

My guess is that's more like in SQL: you can shout if you want to, but DBMSes also understand lowercase

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

Not only lowercase, but serifed as well.

When my friend makes a funny joke I know everyone else will get mad at.

"Excuse me sir/madame I would like to request that you please stop here by the solid line before progressing on. If it's not too much bother that is. Thank you for your precious time"

This upsets me.

I think this sometimes happens on private property. Not sure though.

That looks like a beautiful modernised gaelic typeface.

It is! Someone made a freely available font file of it, too.

Awesome! Gotta share this with my wife, an absolute nut for The Prisoner.

"or whatevs" written in tiny font underneath, indistinguishable by passing drivers - as designed.

Some say it wasn't a good idea to make Becky (age 16) a city planner, but she sure is capable.

I think this is a Chik-Fil-A parking lot stop sign—the branding is spot on.

EDIT: Actually, I think I recognize the surroundings, too. This is the Chick-Fil-A off Hobbs Rd in Huntsville, Alabama: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fod76mqmB7sNhEqE7

You did good, PipedLinkBot just did better.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Why did PipedLinkBot think Google Maps was a YouTube video?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
