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.

You can buy a (rather expensive) scale model of a Menards in Menards. (i.imgur.com)

Who buys these things, honest question.

No clue. Someone who is a big Menards fan and also an O-scale model railroad fanatic. Which must be a pretty small intersection on an already tiny Venn diagram.

I imagine so 😁

Menard's fans and model railroad enthusiasts.

Folks who like model trains and want to remake their hometown! It’s a small subsection of primarily older-USA-Midwest-autistic folks.

lol, cool cool. Whatever makes 'em happy, eh. ☺️

I don’t get it either, but I love people being happy! My friend took me to a model train museum and they were BEAMING the whole time. I was like “ah, neat! Twains!”
