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.

Personally speaking as an agnostic person it disturbs me we are so quick to decide we will play God without having a long serious adult conversation about if we should play God.
Pragmatically I agree it's going to happen because I know humanity too well but that said it's not something I would ever personally partake in at least at this current point in time.
