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.

I think a lot of this could be resolved by presenting this in a different context; perhaps if it were framed as "common misbeliefs" or "debunked common beliefs", and users could search by date of birth.

this could be expanded later, too, to include regional stuff.

Common Misbeliefs is definitely a better way to phrase it
