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.

It's defensively an acquired taste, not for everyone.
An acquired taste is just gaslighting your tastebuds.
Taste is a completely subjective thing, that happens mostly in your brain.
Yes, and acquired tastes are you telling your brain "No, actually, this tastes great!" until it gives up and accepts your false reality.
There is no objective taste reality, so there is no false reality. Taste is a complex experience of actual taste, aroma, texture, memories (your grandma used to cook that way), setting, hunger (ever been hungry on a long hiking trip?) - what ever combination gives you pleasurable experience, tastes good for you.
