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.

Yeah, I’ve never seen it mentioned ever either.

Funny thing is it took until I played it on an emulator to realize that the code symbols were just the numbers 1, 2, 3… mirrored. When I was a kid and first played it, I used to have names for the shapes they made Like M, Heart, 8, U, Bottle…

OMG I did the exact same thing too! Only difference is i called the first one hat, all the others i called the exact same as you. GIF: Did we just become best friends?

hat

I love it.

Well, I used to play this with my best friends. Maybe we already knew each other long ago.
