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.

The smell and noise would be unbearable.

Depends, looks like small planes, and even if 10 come and go everyday you would quickly stop hearing them at all (the brain is very good at ignoring useless stimuli)

Studies to highway and airport neighbourhoods say otherwise.

At the end of my in laws small 8mx8m garden is a freight train line, and honestly, you just don't hear it anymore once you're used to it.
