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.

They've already been paying crazy money for poop coffee for years so maybe this was always an untapped market.

Oh and the digestion is not the reason it tastes good. The animals just eat the good fruits, which have good beans, first.

And now the animals are caged and fed random beans of varying quality.

Someone investing in them spending 7 years studying rainforests, just for them to come up with "serve them poop". If that isn't a case of writing the exam on the night before, I don't know what is.
