Mildly Interesting

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’ve got you bud.

Get some good speakers. Install an ad blocker (for now) and play “Air conditioner sound, 10 hours” on YouTube. It won’t annoy your neighbors, you can just say, “it’s muh humidifier” if anyone asks, but they probably won’t. Barking dog? Not in your bedroom. Vacuum cleaner? Nope, won’t hear it.

And you’ll get to where you can’t sleep without it.

I should download that video.

There are also open source white noise generators that have no ads to begin with, don't need internet, and are more energy efficient due to not having to process a video stream. They also let you customize the frequencies in the noise!

Thank you for that. I’ll look into it.
