Mildly Interesting

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.

class of 00 and I'm shocked at some of this shit. American schools must be the worst.

I had nosebleeds a lot and it was always common knowledge you never tilt your head back, like what the actual fuck.

It's not just America.

spoilerWhen I was younger i suffered from a lot of nose bleeds and my parents argued with my schools nurse to not get me to tilt my head backwards because the blood kept on getting stuck in my throat.

Yes, all schools are shit because we aren't in 18th century Prussia anymore.

There was just a lot of America centric facts. but most that could be considered universal didn't hold true for me.

I had nosebleeds a lot too and everyone always told me that it lets the blood clot better. I'd always tell them I'd rather it just bleed then. So I thought it was true, I just didn't care, it was uncomfortable.
