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.

New bucket list goal: See this.
Will add it to seeing a total eclipse and seeing the Northern Lights with cool sky phenomenon I want to see.
I’ve been fortunate enough to see a Lahaina moon and a total solar eclipse and both were very cool. Total Solar Eclipse was 1000x better though.
Add Diamond Dust, and take me please. I got boned in the eclipse. Need to see that.
New goal: see a total solar eclipse during lahaina noon during a period of peak sunspot activity to get some equatorial aurora and just after a water-rich meteorites disintegrated in the upper atmosphere, creating a blanked of ice crystals.
Is that so much to ask? No clouds, ideally.
Happy cake day, twin. I guess June 12th is like the baby boom for lemmy
Jesus, it's been a year? Wow
One year of beans and jeans. Here’s to many more!
I'm sure that occurs like, at least once every other year right? Should be easy.
I mean, count me in, but I don't think I'll be alive long enough =/
Woo! Group trip!
Also, for anyone else like me who's dumb and didn't know what Diamond Dust is. I guess it's like ice crystals glittering in the air at ground level. There's a cool video in the Wikipedia article. Image searches just kept bringing up literal diamond dust lol.
Saw both a total eclipse and Northern lights this year. Lived up to the hype. Totally worth it.
