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.

Yes, that’s about all it is. “Low water activity” and a lower pH. Same reason jams and jellies don’t ferment. They can get moldy over time, but fungi have always been better at low water activity environments.
