Mildly Interesting

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.

Update with context for you all since this post is unexpectedly taking off,

This was a small project I made in 5 hours as just a "huh, this would be neat to make!" and as a first coding project. I mostly shared it expecting a little bit of feedback but nothing too major, clearly I underestimated what to expect from it lol.

There's been a lot of really good suggestions for how to improve the site and make it better, so thank yall for that! Things I'm planning on doing are:

-Making open source so people can edit. Its just basic HTML and JavaScript so nothing too complex there

-Suggestions box on the site

-Some type of regional variations listed on the site

-If possible, more obscure myths and more tied to the curriculum of schools

-Optimizing the site for mobile

Probably more to come as well, but no estimates on a timeframe since I'm very much so new to this haha

Edit: Additional clarification, yes this site is only viable for Americans right now. Would love to help make it work internationally but I'm sure not the person to try and say what people in other countries were taught in school, so if someone wants to help with that lmk!

It should work better on mobile devices now, but if there's any repeated issues let me know and I can try to fix them.

It should also be public on Github, check out the description tab on the website for more info. My first time making a project open source (or even having one at all) so lmk if there's any issues!

Perhaps put the context that this only applies to one country mate ๐Ÿ˜‚
