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.

Turkish flag is an interesting case, as it's nearly a 100 years older than Turkey.

The design has been used by the late Ottoman Empire, and then adopted when the Republic of Turkey (now regretting to itself as Turkiye) was established.
