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.

Your comment made me have a flashback to my dad getting irritated at me for squeezing the middle of the toothpaste tube.

You're only supposed to squeeze the far end of a metal tube -- pushing product from the very end to the opening. Then as it gets empty you fold/roll up the flat bit at the end. You can even even buy "wringers" designed to assist with that.
