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 100g of sugar will always be exactly the same as your 100g of sugar

But my 1 cup of sugar is going to be different to your 1 cup of sugar depending on how densely packed it is.
