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.

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport has a short story machine. You push a button, and it prints a story for you. (lemmy.world)

Came across one of these in the lobby of a hotel in Québec. My wife pressed the "English" button and got a cute little printout. Figuring this would be a good opportunity to practice my French, I pressed the "Français" button and the machine spit out a story the length of a CVS receipt.
