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.

What makes Japan special?

The middle of Japan is on roughly the same latitude as South Carolina and north Africa.

As a weeb living in South Carolina, I feel bad for Japan.
