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.

Pretty sure this is in reference to "boar taint" which is... Not exactly a less suggestive term, hm.

I clicked the link and that was actually pretty interesting.

Yeah, I didn't really find that especially disgusting. The smell is from a combination of a hormone and bacteria and it can be battled with vaccination. That said, it also doesn't sound like it's dangerous to eat or anything. 🤷

"...Some producers are breeding out the taint..."

That's called a cloaca.
