For stuff that's neat. Neat article? Neat video? Neat pic of a bug you saw? All good. Neat meme? Ehhh... take it to the meme subs.

Rules

  1. Don't be an asshole. If you're reading a comment you're about to make and think "Hmm... this sounds like the kind of comment an asshole would make" then do not make that comment. Yes, even if the other person "started it". The report button is your friend.

That's neat. I have seen those mugs all my life but it never occurred to me that there might be a story.

Wow what horrible video ads everywhere. I really need to get an ad blocker on my old iPhone somehow.

If you can get firebox on it (no idea if that's a thing on iPhone), you can add extensions the same way you can on desktop, to include Ublock Origin.

It’s not the most popular answer on here, but Brave browser in the meantime. If you’re a bit more tech savvy adding Adguard’s public DNS to your Wi-Fi can help a bit too.
