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.

Why is "west" in "midwest"? Can't we just call these states mid?

So living on the line would be living in the Midmid?

"Middle of nowhere" is the accepted term for that region
