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.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You'd have to defeat the native emu population, though. Good luck with that

We practically already give away all of our natural resources. Hell, we actually PAY for big companies to take it and sell it overseas, tax free. Because be are playing 5D chess
