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 entered Experian into my calendar.

But I did NOT enter that weird emoji gibberish: dead roses, coffin, skull, cute puppies, happy faces, circus? What the heck is this

Oh this is very bad indeed. It seems you've been targeted - this is a threat from some pretty bad dudes. The first part is code for their organization...then it says they're first gonna wilt (kill) that puppy you love, and then it says you better enjoy living that circus life because next comes the grave. Also they will move into your house and celebrate. Wow man, please be safe...

So sad, that's how my best friend in high school died. The only way to stop it is by sending the invite to 5 other people

I need this on my bathroom wall.

Gmail has had a problem for a while where people can send you spam calendar invites and they’ll automatically get added to your calendar.

Butt dialing.

Yes that seems most likely but the choice of characters doesn't look like the result of a pocket dial because those emojis are nowhere near each other in the list of selections, and they are not emojis that I ever use.
