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 heard my sister say “Yeah I usually wear a double zero” and it was at that moment I realized there is absolutely no regulation of women’s clothing, only chaos.

Yep. When I heard that a friend wore a double zero my first thought was "so she's two dimensional?"

When that size system first started being used, size zero would have been for a newborn infant. Actually, size 0 didn't even exist then.

There are no sizes, only Zuul
