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.

My in-laws are keen kite flyers and travel around the country to kite festivals. As soon as someone sets up an Indian fighting kite stall, the serious flyers pack up and go home. No-one's going to spend thousands of dollars on materials just to let some 12-year old with a $10 kite cut their lines.
