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.

Thanks, actually.
That does change the connotation there a bit. Now it’s just something that happened, and some people could find that mildly interesting. Instead of the connotation being slightly more specific, that they intended to use it casually disregarding someone’s negative perception of the image.
With ‘casually used’ and the idea that it was more than likely just ‘happenstance’, it sort of degrades the value of this ‘mildly interesting’ post. Corrected it’s now maybe sort of interesting, since we aren’t saying that they intended to do it, so more ‘mildly interesting’ this way.
Either way, I probably wouldn’t have thought anything of it unless it was a ‘mildly interesting’ 420 or 69 joke hidden in the code or image titles of a religious or professional organization’s website. That’s sort of funny and interesting. Maybe the Kunami code hidden somewhere. Stuff like that.
The ‘alt right’ aspect takes the ‘mildly interesting’ out of it and tries to pull politics in, which feels like we’re making accusations…? If you understand what I’m saying. It’s just weird. 🤷♂️
But, thanks for listening to my podcast, please like, subscribe and upvote on your way out. I’ll be here all week. Alright, that’s it for me!
