TL;DR:  Let’s try to be less interesting!

Hello from your mod team (seems like just me, if you’re interested in being a mod ping me)!

I’ve noticed that things have been getting pretty interesting around here lately and we need to tone that back a little.  The goal of this community is to share things that aren’t particularly interesting that you come across. 

Yes, “interesting” is very subjective, but I think we need to go back to our roots and consider what brought us all here… we wanted to be mildly interested.

Also, this isn’t a place for politics.  There are many other communities for that, let’s keep it there.  

Here are a couple great examples of what I feel we should strive for:

That’s all for now, thanks for your support and understanding.

GENEVA (AP) — People may have been getting high off cannabis earlier than previously thought — at least 2,800 years ago, a new study suggests.

Archaeologists who led a dig at a monumental tomb in Siberia said they turned up evidence of the earliest known use of cannabis for psychoactive purposes.

The findings point to cannabis consumption at least 300 years earlier than previously known use in neighboring China.

Ancient drug use has long intrigued scholars. The Greek historian Herodotus wrote about inhabitants of Central Asia smoking cannabis around 440 B.C., and recent archaeologists have found the seeds in tombs across its highlands.

The team from Germany, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland said analysis of hair in the royal tomb where cannabis seeds turned up sheds new light on the plant’s role in ancient societies.

I just happened to be browsing random photospheres on Google maps and came across this perfectly timed photo.

Turns out that if you zoom in its something completely else and not a super-talented gymnast flexing on passers-by

“In all honesty, I still don’t really get why ‘Lemon’ became such a huge song with this wide a reach. I mean, of course I never set out to make a trivial piece of music, and I totally get that Lemon only grew into a phenomenon because it was the theme song for the truly excellent television show Unnatural, and because the production team treated it with the utmost care and affection.

Saw this on Mastodon and had a laugh. Not sure if it's real, but it's funny.
