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.

This building was a fire station, and bunker gear is the protective clothing that firefighters wear. I guess they didn’t want you bringing dirty/smoky clothes into the break room

They had to prove themselves worthy by fighting the oven with nothing but their bare hands, man to microwave.

You don't want the contaminants that used gear contains to get into clean spaces. No sense increasing cancer risk anymore than necessary.
