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.

This is something you could buy with employee incentive reward points(company store dollars) that somehow made it onto shelves.

Why would you do such a thing as an employee?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Well after 10 years with the company, you can't afford healthcare, so you might as well blow up a scale model first.

To smash in the parking lot as a form of catharsis?

Ah, that's sweet. Best we have here in CA would be Target selling it's own brands as toys for kid pretend shopping (and no way am I picking that up, it's clearly brand brainwashing lol). A train set model, though? That's gotta be one of the most wholesome ways to go about it.

I vaguely want one for diorama purposes with my MST3k Funko Pops.

It's a playtime of savings, at Menard's!

And a Giant Spider Invasion of savings!

I'll only buy it if there's a scale model of Menards in the scale model of Menards

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I'm more interested in the other models going there.

Looks like it's built to model railroading "O" scale.

EDIT: Oh, duh. It says so right in your picture. I guess if you want the sweet authenticity that only product placement can buy, this is your set.

To spend almost $140 on a Menards model for your model railroad, you either want some sort of very accurate representation of somewhere that has a Menards or you are way too big a fan of Menards.

Also, pretty much everyone I've known into model railroads is into HO scale, so who is even going to buy this?

Sounds like some of them nerds need to go big or fuckin' go home!

There is at least one Menards with a railroad siding, or at least was 20 years ago when I lived in the area. (oakdale mn) I undrestand some deliveries came via rail to that store and them by truck to the rest of

And inside is another tiny Menards, it's Menards all the way down

You can't save big money in a nanoscale Menards.

a midwestern knockoff of a lowes with some extra product selection you'd find at a walmart or farm store; owned by a far-right, anti-union billionaire.

Since nobody actually answered the question: Menards is a massive hardware store chain in the Midwest. When I say it's massive, it has everything you could ever need in a hardware store and more. Like there are usually multiple floors, a lumber yard, highly specialized sections, and even a small grocery section with food, pet supplies, clothing, etc. it's definitely the greatest hardware store ever conceived, but unfortunately the man who owns them is batshit crazy in classic Wisconsin fashion.

You forgot the piano, and the skilled person who is sometimes playing said piano.

Aww man I’ve never been to a two-floor+ Menards :( none of the ones around me are (they do have the lumber loft but that hardly counts).

Now I feel like I’m missing out.

Menards used to be way cheaper than Home Depot but now they're about the same except Home Depots are usuallymuch cleaner

its what a pirate shouts when you kick him in the crotch

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

A pirate is at a party and a fellow party-goer notices the pirate has a wheel in his pants.

"What's the wheel for," they ask the pirate.

"Arr," replies the pirate, "I don't know, but it be drivin' me nuts."

Menards are stuck to methighs

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

It's a sort of hardware store that absorbed a Walmart.
