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.

Pay phones are still common in many places around the world. An indicator may be those mapped on OSM: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=telephone#map

They are common in my country, but I hardly ever see anyone use them.
