Mildly Interesting

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.

I can hear the dinosaur in it…

Like it ate a little dinosaur? But how??

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Husband: I want one of those! /s

Wife: who needs a rooster when you can hear that all night long??

Sounds just like the sounds newer trucks make when they back up: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Wt1_51EVA

I like how it leaves in a swiggity swooty fashion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Truly a doofus of a bird.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago

How have I never noticed that these goobers don't have arms or nothin. I can't imagine this thing walking in any way other than a swiggity swooty approach.

This is God's creature right here.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

I had to rewatch the video to make sure I got an exact image of what swiggity swooty means

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

When it ran away was pretty great.

My job here is done! Away!

“Until next time”

This is the sound of an animal with no natural predators.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Nonsense, I remember watching a documentary as a kid that the tasmanian devil would spin around into a little tornado and eat kiwis.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ah, so the kiwi has a bird body but still uses its dinosaur voice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

All birds use their dinosaur voices.

[–] [email protected] 83 points 3 days ago (7 children)

I thought kiwis spoke English.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They do have a funny way of speaking it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

They say "LILILILILILI!" Then cut your throat with a thrown chakram that bounced off the throat of the guy beside you.

I don't believe this is a real animal.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

It's a fruit

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Birds aren't real

[–] [email protected] 59 points 3 days ago

Nightmare Potato.

There is currently chaos in my house. I played this on my phone without headphones and my dogs have absolutely lost their shit. The Miniature Pinscher, being a Miniature Pinscher, was barking and spinning and occasionally attacking his spaniel brother who just has this "WTF BRO" face of horror on. Mayhem.

PS: He's calmed down...after a close to ten minute freak out.

As it goes with Min-Pins, he couldn't give less of a shit the second time around. He's over it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a 'wtf was that!' expression.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

My cat just had a very similar response =)

I eat kiwi all the time and I ain't never heard them make a sound.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

They're obviously dead before they put the them out at the grocery store. I bet you don't see yours running around outside either.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

Screams of a thousand dark souls...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

If memory serves me correctly it's named for the sound it makes

Kiiiiii wiiiiiiii

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Yeah its exactly like a Pokemon. I had no idea they went "kiwi kiwi" in a cute voice like this.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago

slowed down would sound like the stereotypical t-rex

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

This is 90% what I expected a kiwi to sound like.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago

Also a very interesting run style.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago

So melodious.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I suddenly understand the inspiration behind shows like Lost being made:-).

That's some Jurassic Park stuff, right there

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Sounds like a slipping serpentine belt.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I actually wasn't expecting it to be that shade of color either.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They are brown - just looks like that with the spotlight

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Thanks! Was about to ask about the Darwinian prospects of a flightless, wingless avian colored like a medium rare steak.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Holy piss I did not expect that
