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.

My claim is that humanity made the Amazon rainforest what it is today. I stand by that, and my claim grows stronger with each new ancient city discovered under the trees.
Yeah, I disagree. We didn't play an active part in doing this, we played a passive one by not fucking it up. I'm also not responsible for a mountain just because I don't dig it up.
Even if you were right, your own study says that we'd at most be responsible for 1/5th.
