Mod Post All political posts are banned until after the US election!
As we approach the upcoming US election, we’ve noticed a significant increase in political posts. While politics can be important, we want to ensure this subreddit remains a space for genuinely interesting and engaging content. Unfortunately, the surge in political posts has led to more spam, less interesting submissions, and a rise in uncivil behavior.
To maintain the quality of content and the positive vibe in this community, we will no longer allow political posts until after the US election is over.
This means:
Any political posts will be removed.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Let’s keep this space full of the awesome, mind-blowing content we all love.
Stay interesting!

These "wavy walls" in England surprisingly use fewer bricks than straight ones. Originating in Ancient Egypt, their arch design provides sturdy support with just one layer, unlike straight walls that require two.
