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.

Shocking: People working on a field more likely than people not working on that field to say that said field is good for the country.

In other news, water boils at 100°C.

In other other news: The planet is burning alive and pushing blindly glorified, inefficient and power hungry word calculators won't necessarily make that better.

Objectively false. Water boils at 210°F

Sorry, I don't understand freedom units.

It's about the average temperature of a hot dog at a Braves game. Or 7/16ths the temp a black Ford F350 gets in a Walmart parking lot. Hope this helps.

Does it have to be a Ford F350? Can't it be a different black car? Trying to understand it but I can't find the black ford f350 or the walmart parking lot.

I'm sure there are conversion charts out there, but the F in F350 stands for freedom unit. It's what the whole system is based off of.
