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.

Literally every time I would say this, on the that other place, that I won’t name, I would get downvoted to oblivion.

Large cats (tigers, lions, jaguars, and leopards only) are part of the panthera genus. Probably where the name came from, but there is no one specific animal that is a panther.

I guess the mountain is sometimes referred to as a panther, but it’s not accurate.
