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?

Japan is a country that frequently practices the death penalty.
Really? I did not know that. Gotta look into that
You'd think it would involve katanas and beheading or something like you'd see in the movies. Nope, hanging. The Japanese death penalty is typically hanging. Wild, I know. No swords involved. Sorry if this ruins your Monday. I know I was disappointed. Sometimes movies lie, though.
I didnt know japan still had the death penalty in the first place
I'd think that a country that is extremely safe wouldn't need it anyways...
