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.

Does anyone else have no idea what Remembrance Day is?

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

In America it's called Veterans Day.

And while we dedicate the day to remembering all of our military veterans, the reason it occurs when it does (along with Remembrance Day and Armistice Day) is to mark the end of World War 1.
