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.

I am more interested in why they are called "tank tops." They don't resembles any part of a tank, much less the top.

I’ve tried using “a-shirt” in the US for the reasons mentioned but it seems like no one knows what I mean until I say “wife beater.”
