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.

The fact that you need to tell people not to intentionally give their cat salt water is telling of how far we've regressed as a society.

Humans are naturally curious and lean towards the scientific method, that's why we always need a disclaimer, don't TRY this, they still will.

“Scientific method”?

Most people’s “method” is YOLO/HMB for lols. Thank goodness cats have nine lives.

Yeah or when something has been proven by the scientific method and they want to feel special so they specifically do the opposite of the beneficial thing
