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.

Is your house surrounded on all sides by corn?

Does Napoleon Dynamite seem like a documentary about your town?

Then you live in the Midwest.

Illinoisan here, Pennsylvania and Idaho need to get their heads checked. I wouldn’t consider anything west of Kansas or east of Ohio(being generous there) as Midwest. Also just about anything south of the Missouri Compromise Line is a southern state, the Midwest is not the home of traitors.

Edit: correct mason Dixon to Missouri compromise

I don’t think Ohio is mid west.. I know(think) it had something to do with the original 13 colonies but at this point the naming conventions need to change definitions.

Not really. Midwest is more west of Appalachia, north of slave states, and east of the Rockies. It’s the land between the mountain ranges

Ok Colorado and Wyoming thinking they’re Midwest is new to me. As is Ohioans thinking we arent

You'll never get everyone to agree on anything in a poll.

In fact, weird outliers are a sign that the numbers weren't cooked. In polling, you'll always find a Christian who thinks Jesus isn't real, an Atheist who thinks the ten commandments should be posted in classrooms, people who think Sonic tastes good, and other equally strange and nonsensical results.
