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.

You're probably not giving it enough credit, I bet it can illuminate in the day too.

Kinda cool but nobody plays softball in the dark

I was freaking psyched when I got a glow in the dark football that actually worked! Does not improve depth perception in the dark. There were a few black eyes before we tossed it in the garage.

We had no problems with catching glow in the dark footballs as a kid, well minus me I had lineman hands.

No problems? I had glue hands. Not dick hands. We called them dick hands because football season was fucking cold and every second on the sidelines your hands were in your pants. If you couldn't catch something.... well... dickhands. I haven't drooped anything but weight in most of my life. I don't think the physics of depth perception has changed much.

Gonna be a much better catcher when it makes her grow an extra hand or two, as well!

Radioactive softball: the gift that keeps on giving (you extra limbs)!

Pretty cool! I do wonder if it’s radioactive

Fortunately, it's just a green LED, that pops out of the side. Kind of a pain to turn on and off, but it certainly looks cool.

That makes sense!
