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.

What an idiotic article (and website in general, looks Buzzfeed-tier). From its linked source:

Negative cerebrovascular effects can be expected by compressing jugular veins and carotids

No shit.

by a necktie.

Nobody is wearing a tie that tightly, and even if it is deliberately made that tight when you put it on, it's not like a noose, it'll loosen on its own almost immediately as you start moving around. There are no springs in a tie maintaining the tension.
