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.

Huh, I thought cracked.com died like 10 years ago.

They basically did :(

I used to read them all the time until they fired like 90% (or more?) of their writers.

No I mean dead-dead, like I remember them firing their writers and then I thought the website actually closed down at one point. I'm not sure when/why/how it came back.

Ah. Nope, they're still a thing. Last time I checked it looked like they just scraped social media for topics and presented them in a list with a title.

Yeah, and while that article was interesting, it wasn't even trying to be humorous as far as I could tell? Definitely not the Cracked I remember.
