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.

This image is not safe for people suffering from trypophobia

Almost looks like water damage but that is either a lot of water pressure or a long amount of exposure…

Brick worms.. You see, #THIS# is why we can't have nice things!

No idea what they are but I imagine bullets would do a lot more damage to brick than that. And there a strange pattern that doesn't make sense for bullets.

That's not wood though. Brickpeckers?

Depends on the bullets, but these are too consistently sized

this is very infuriating for people with trypophobia, really hope I could figure out how to hide this …

Oh please stop with these ridiculous made-up conditions, "trypophobia" is not a real disorder.

A person made these marks, they all kind of focused towards a center line, overall. Maybe a rock hammer? Is especially obvious on the bottom third of the picture with the arcs in the patterns.

The real question is "Are they like that all the way through, and if so, how much, precisely, would that affect the strength and insulation as compared to 3 hole red brick?".

Yes, i know bricks have a different amount of holes depending on where they're made already, don't go there, it's settled.
