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.

For every state that is below Alaska...

Have you seen Alaska? Have you spent time there? Alaska is crazy dangerous! How bad must your healthcare be that the constant threat of the entire environment being against you doesn't win out for short life expectancy?!

And Mississippi, just... be better.

Id like to think its because people live healthier lifestyles in Alaska but I know better.

So much meth.
