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.

Yeah, I dunno why OP put quotes on it.

[–] tomatobeard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My guess is OP is being sarcastic because progress to many people means more highways & cars. More construction and development.

I wish we had more of this kind of progress near me (Colorado USA).

Are you suggesting this is not progress? Because this is honestly amazing.

What's the point of water if you can't chill by the water

This title is under a few layers of irony, there are similar pictures floating around of green spaces converted to highways in the US with the same title, OP is suggesting the European version actually is progress

All my homies like chilling by the water

Why the quotes? It looks much better.

[–] SmoothSurfer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I highly doubt OP knows what quotes mean here

[–] Jeanschyso@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yes progress! Using the quotes there make it seem like you disagree that this is progress, which I will choose to believe you didn't mean it like that.

I have seen a few pictures like this from around the world. It's pretty encouraging
