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.

Tl;dr:

Bathtubs started small due to size constraints of rooms, but got smaller because it's cheaper to manufacture and handle smaller tubs.

We can’t all be super smart like you

Vocab lesson.

It doesn’t sound complex at all. But it is complicated, by the use of an entire article to explain it when two bullets do the trick.

Complex is natural, complicated is some effort’s effect on a thing
