For stuff that's neat. Neat article? Neat video? Neat pic of a bug you saw? All good. Neat meme? Ehhh... take it to the meme subs.

Rules

  1. Don't be an asshole. If you're reading a comment you're about to make and think "Hmm... this sounds like the kind of comment an asshole would make" then do not make that comment. Yes, even if the other person "started it". The report button is your friend.

Very entertaining. I’m totally lost around 1400. I don’t even recognize 1200 as English lol.

With enough patience I could maybe make it through a 1500 novel

Same, 1400s are difficult, but 1500s is at least understandable.
