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 kid used to love going for walks in the woods with me.

One day we came across one of these mating balls, and they had never seen a garter snake before. Despite my assurances that these are literally one of the most harmless things you can find in the woods, my kid has never willingly accompanied me for hikes since.
