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.

Yeah, not like boomers blame millenials or gen Z for everything. Oh wait.

So you think Doubling down somehow erases the problem. It totally doesn’t put you at their level, right? Or did you think everyone is just so dumb they can’t see your stupid thrown into the ring too?

Seems like you’re very offended I’m not bowing to this drivel. Find something better to be triggered by.

I’m guessing no “boomer” ever told you that bit about two wrongs?

Oh wow. Aesop, tell us another fable!

Are you actually mocking knowledge?

Maybe we should stop dividing up into age tribes and attacking each other?

The problems we face affect every age in the same way.

No, they don't. They blamed the silent gen for ecological destruction, social inequality, and war. They also, like every generation back to australopithecus blamed their elders and thought the younger generation was spoiled & had shorter attention spans.

Don't foolishly attribute a universal human flaw to a single group of people.
