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 was at a local amusement park, where I noticed at the entrance, they offered free sunscreen.

Free lotion kiosk. I hadn't thought about how that looks like free smorgasbord in Danish...

I'm not saying it's not a good idea. But I'd rather have free smørrebrød than free smørebod

I read it as smørrebrød at first and was very confused at why there was sunscreen and not rye bread and fish

Smorgasbord is not smørrebrød. It's more like frokostbord or smørrebrødsbord.

It comes from Swedish smörgåsbord, where smörgås is smørrebrød.

OK, så siger vi det. At det så bliver brugt om enkelte stykker smørrebrød i amerikansk popkultur er vel så en anden sag.
