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.

So whilst the baby glacier idea has already been assessed as not working in the 90s, the ice stupas (TL;DR - water fountain in a shady mountain, sprays water to make a big pile of ice in winter - melts in summer for crop irrigation) seem pretty useful.
