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.

As an Android user why does an arrow out of a square signify sharing something?

It’s sending something outside of your device (the box).

Like a phone call or a text?

The universal symbol for "input" on a TV remote is the opposite, a box with an arrow going in, simply because there can only be one source at a time

Two arrows makes more sense in the context of sharing

Why? Are you sending it to two people?

More frequently (percentage wise) than I use the Apple share button to get something to leave the device lol
