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.

Why does a CPU need to produce seeds?

They look like me after I think I'm going to sneeze but then it doesn't happen for me

"Screaming skulls"

That's like saying "smiling skulls". A skull can't do anything, it's bone.

Tell that to the group of singing skeletons that visit my backyard nightly. They are very expressive.

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

Good to know.

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Well, actually, a skull can exist, can lie on the floor, can decay, so it CAN do something after all.
