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.

When I got to Ohio, I was so confused when people called it the Midwest. I was like, have you seen a map.
That's because it is considered part of the Midwest?? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwestern_United_States
Not saying it’s inaccurate because of history but wow does it not match modern US geography.
At least it has "Mid" in the name. Imagine if it was just "West" and everything west of that was the Westwest.
This is how I, a Michigander, feel about anyone west of the Mississippi claiming the monocer.
That river WAS the beginning of the west, how that could be Midwest is beyond me ...
