The fact that you recognized your error and were able to immediately correct it, rather than double down on being wrong or some shit, implies that you're a somewhat intelligent person

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.
