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.

I guess a few decades ago this kind of thing wasn’t standardized everywhere. In the 1960s, my uncle, who is very red/green colorblind, was driving into Richmond, Virginia, where they apparently had red on the bottom with green on top. He got a ticket for running a red light soon after arriving in town, but was able to get it dismissed because of his colorblindness.
