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.

Ah, my joke was that I am too stubborn with my pricing. You WILL have the discount, and you WILL like it. But maybe I'm too old and tired and convey it with a glare.

I like that each of you is trying to out-pedant each other in a very civil manner

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

It's arguably the only purpose of social media. 😂

I found out why they want to get rid of them fast. They're actually ice sculptures disguised as books!

Perishable books?

I can’t vouch for the truth of this as I just saw online posts about it too.

But I saw in Iraq, there’s a book market that just leaves most of their books outside because “The Reader doesn’t steal, and the thief doesn’t read”

But I saw in Iraq

We all saw, multiple times now. Fuckin' reposts 😅

there's no such thing as a £

You pronounce it as "flet" because it's a combination of f, L, t and E. And if you think that's ridiculous, wait until you hear about the British Imperial system.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

The British imperial system invades other countries, makes them use pounds and feet, and then leaves.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I would like to subsribe to British Facts, please
