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.

Did you know that while they may move slowly, Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher?
I did not know that! Thank you Heron Facts!
Like flying sloths! They can move quickly when they really want to as well.
Unfortunately the only fly straight down, and they only stop after reaching the floor.
Wait, those were regular sloths!
:(
Is this shitty heron 'facts'?
Created by Bayer, diacetylmorphine was marketed as Heroin based on the German heroisch which means "heroic, strong" (from the ancient Greek word "heros, ήρως"). Bayer scientists were not the first to make heroin, but their scientists discovered ways to make it, and Bayer led the commercialization of heroin.
