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.

The interestingness of the temperature is very dependent on where you are and what the normal temperature for the time of year is
The temperature here was very interesting for a second or two until I remembered some people use °F.
Translation for those of us in the civilized world:
The temperature yesterday was between 26° and 32°. The forecast shows it may get all the way to 43° in the coming week.
Thanks. Really didn't see the point of all the random numbers. Why did OP expect everyone to be able to read this?
Because USA = the world.
i’m mildly interested regardless people have too high of standards for a place with mild in the name
It’s pretty much normal, for this area, except for the 110F forecast for this week. To go from mild 80’s weather to that, this early in June is odd.
Still means fuck all to about 98% of people mate
Quit yo jibberjabber
You could go hang out in Africa. I think they use Celsius there.
Not sure why this was downvoted. I have visited the Seychelles and Ethiopia. I think they both use Celsius. 🤷♀️
If you're thinking of Liberia you might be wrong
I feel like that's not a word. Is it?
Either way, there's gotta be another word for that.
Just so you know, according the Chambers English dictionary, it is.
Yeah, I mean, I looked it up after I posted the comment, but my shock then was from my inability to find a suitable synonym or other expression to replace it. Oh well.
allure, charm, beauty, attraction, attractiveness, fascination, pleasingness, interestingness, glamor, charmingness, engagingness, seductiveness
You're right, none of these really fit
Isn't English wonderfully stupid 😂
Probably not, but more concise than "amount of interest piqued"
I'm really struggling to find a better word, even with the help of a thesaurus. They're either not the same, or have too much of a positive meaning. Maddening.
