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.

We found this old matchbook in our kitchen. It's for a coroner's election. The Democrat candidate is on one side and the Republican candidate is on the other. (lemmy.world)

I recall a case in a small town where the elected coroner was like the mayor's brother and he didn't have any experience. The sheriff was also the mayor's best friend. And let's just say a murder happened and it was incredibly suspicious.
