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.

There's no story in the article. He just says that I did this thing and there's no other information. No sources or even a story about how he did it. He just says to look it up yourself by being clever. It's not an article it's just lazy.

Try clicking the "Next" button at the bottom of the screen. The link only shows part 1 of a 13 part article. Not sure why it's split up in multiple pages but there are a lot more details to dwelve into.

The same reason everything else is going to shit, money. More pages means more clicks means more ads served means more money.

I was unable to find any trackers, banners, scripts, third-party cookies, crypto miners or anything else that could be used to generate revenue on that website.

No, that is not the reason. Many people prefer multiple pages for reading long-form online articles. Also quite common on major newspapers.

What an incredible story! I felt my pulse quicken as I watched the videos of their ROV nearing the targets of their searches and actually swore out loud when the vehicles came into view after being missing for so many years. Well done to the two brothers!

The unanswered question is how the hell did Juha Laitinen's car ended so deep in the water far from the shore.
