Mildly Interesting

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.

Why they spell it brrr though? I’m guessing this is not an English manual?

How else would you write the sound of purring?

Leaving the cat like the bee could make someone naive believe the (I assume) pump sounds like a meow ;D
