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.

Not good for visibility, but great for blending. We use them for Christmas and Halloween so that you don't see a ton of cords about. I have to move them or weed eat around them if it rains much during those months.

Ah that makes sense. I live in Canada, our ground is white and covered with snowdrifts that time of year.

Yeah, you could put a rainbow neon cord down there, you're not seeing any of it in -20

Hell, I've lost my car a few times under the snow. You know you're a true Canadian when you have shovel dents on your hood.
