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.

Way back there weren't any settlements, only nomadic tribes. They'd loose their shit alright. "Oh no, our transport and future food resources!"
