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.

There's this French documentarian, Agnes Vardo, who do autobiographical, and pretty artistic and abstract documentaries. In one of them, she is meeting a group of Romani, and they teach her where the potato farmers discard all the potatoes that are not good enough for the supermarkets and she get a lot of potatoes with the shape of hearts.

  • Not quite heart-shaped.
  • Camera angle assisting the claim.

Mild, 💯 quality content.

That's an interesting shape, I'd like to try...

So you are saying it is only mildly interesting?

[–] Unsustainable@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

No. I'm saying I've seen hundreds of those, so it's not interesting in the slightest.

Apropos, I glanced across the table at my friend's phone while they scrolled across this and immediately wondered why they were looking at a shorn scrotum. So, here I am, having found this post on my own device just to let you all know what I found mildly amusing about it. 🤗

I saw this on r/crackheadscraiglist for 75$ about a year or two ago.

Luckily, it is not the other way around. That would be disturbing.

Feel free to cross-post it to !potatoism@lemmy.world

This is no rarity.

Really a regular shaped potato is shaped more like a heart...
