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.

interestingness

I feel like that's not a word. Is it?

Either way, there's gotta be another word for that.

Probably not, but more concise than "amount of interest piqued"

I'm really struggling to find a better word, even with the help of a thesaurus. They're either not the same, or have too much of a positive meaning. Maddening.

Just so you know, according the Chambers English dictionary, it is.

Yeah, I mean, I looked it up after I posted the comment, but my shock then was from my inability to find a suitable synonym or other expression to replace it. Oh well.

allure, charm, beauty, attraction, attractiveness, fascination, pleasingness, interestingness, glamor, charmingness, engagingness, seductiveness

You're right, none of these really fit

Isn't English wonderfully stupid 😂
