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.

Am I the only one who can't stand reptiles(minus birds)/ amphibians. I've seen too many people who find frogs 'cute'. Like wtf
They just kinda gross me out. Still make sure to tip my hat when I see one.
I think a lot of amphibians are seen as cute because of their smooth, rounded features. There are some gnarly looking toads out there that probably don’t get the same love.
I enjoy seeing them all, but I also grew up in Florida where they were everywhere. Plus, they're great for pest control, so I've always enjoyed having them around for that.
I’m in PA, so this is actually a pretty rare sight for me.
Almost 2 weeks ago I found a wall lizard inside a pool. Poor baby was so scared (maybe tired) that he didn't even flinch. I caught him, and placed him on a wall near the pool. I love nature! However, I also hate spiders. So, we are not perfect. And although I am ashamed to admit it, if I find a spider inside my home, I will squish that little fucker.
Funnily enough I dont mind spiders. Tho i've never dealt with a poisonous one so maybe thatd change my opinion. The lil ones I know theyre gonna be in their nests just eating bugs
