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.

It's a museum. It doesn't say "coal mining is a great technology of the future". It says "here's this thing of the past we used to do". Or do you also expect a paleontological museum to only employ dinosaurs?

I bet WW2 museum employees aren't even real Nazis!

I the US I bet it's like 50/50 if nazi museum workers would be actual Nazis.
