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.

Weird kneejerk. What specifically is wrong with their methods of research?

I'm not talking about their methods. I'm talking about the presentation.

Ah, indeed, that's certainly the correct approach to any scientific info.

"Is it in a serious, reliable publication" is indeed a good first question to ask yourself when trying to determine if something is scientific information or just some rando's personal opinion.

Just to check, you definitely use the same criterion when you read about a dude measuring stuff with a multimeter, right?
