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.

It should say "gods are a fairy tale". "god is a fairy tale" is misleading grammar if you don't mean there's one. You wouldn't say "gremlin is a fairy tale", you'd say "gremlins are a fairy tale".
