Aww, cripes. I didn't know I'd have to write a description. How many words is that so far, like a hundred? Soooo, yeah. Mildly depressing stuff. Stuff that depresses you. Mildly. It's in the name, ffs.

Other subreddits that may invoke mild emotions:

r/MildlyInteresting
r/MildlyInfuriating
r/mildlyamusing
r/mildlyWTF
r/MildlyConfusing
r/mildlypancake

Remember:

This is for things that make you sad, not things you find pathetic. A dead puppy is sad. A racist politician is not.
This is not your blog.
Any submission that needs a source (statistics, images, etc) must contain a source.
