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.

Wow so cool! I don't think I've ever seen a microscope get angled like that while looking, either. Very surreal effect. Thanks for the link!
