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.

I’m sure that’s a study in psychology about how survey results are significantly better with dog pictures just waiting to be written.

Do we need the paper to know it's true? Seems trivial.

Formally proving trivial things help when proving non trivial things and sometimes the trivial thing turns out to be wrong.
