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.

15 is old for this. I saw a kid in the store doing the gesture, and I said "Hey, that's that 6-7 thing, right?" and he looked at me with this almost evil smile, while his mother and older sister looked slightly exasperated. The older sister was only about 12, and even she was fed up with it. You have to be under 10 for this trend.
The whole point is that it means nothing, and adults hate it, so they keep doing it because it torments grownups. It's even been banned in a lot of classrooms.
