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.

I mean it is a legit philosophical argument. One of my mother's friends, whom I respect very much, told me she saw gold and white. So there is some merit to the conversation.

I shit you not. When I first saw it, my eyeballs were probably primed for daylight and I saw white and yellow. Ever subsequent time I saw black and blue. Reality is subjective.

I have always seen gold and white and still can't see black and blue.
