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.

He already did make a video on it lol
Tom scott has made a video on everything, including this very thread.
[INTRO]
Tom Scott (with his characteristic enthusiasm): "Hello, lovely internet denizens! Today, we find ourselves in a comment thread, delightfully jesting about my propensity to dive into the oddest corners of knowledge. From the physics of shoelaces to the mysteries of quantum buttered toast, we've covered it all!"
[SMILE AND NOD]
Tom Scott: "Now, I can already predict a few of the replies that might pop up here. 'Tom, why not delve into the intricacies of a potato chip next?' Well, who knows, that might just be on the horizon! And yes, someone will undoubtedly ask about the physics of a cat's purr. It's been on the list for a while, folks!"
[CONFIDENT NOD]
Tom Scott: "But you know what they say, the quest for knowledge knows no bounds! So, let's keep the laughter rolling and the curiosity burning. What's next, you ask? Well, that's anyone's guess! Stay tuned, stay curious, and let's keep this adventure going!"
[OUTRO]
Tom Scott (looking bemusedly at his busily buzzing phone): "Well, it seems the replies are pouring in already! I might be here for a while trying to keep up with all your brilliant comments. But hey, that's the joy of it, isn't it? The learning never stops! Keep those questions and suggestions coming, and I'll do my best to tackle them in the videos to come."
[TOM SCOTT SMILES AT THE CAMERA]
Very true, even the 99% global human population reduction of 2025 he's already recorded and got ready to go
Are we doing that? I just paid off my car loan.

Are you sure? I've seen a video about this community, but I don't think it was Tom Scott. Couldn't find it on his channel.
Wow, I'm actually pretty sure I'm wrong on this. I'm just now checking on my lunch break but I can't find it. I know I saw a video about this (or a very similar) community following specifically one man who has a hanger house. Swore it was Tom Scott but, I just can't find it... Don't tell me I hallucinated it lol
