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 like how it leaves in a swiggity swooty fashion.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months 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.

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

I thought kiwis spoke English.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They do have a funny way of speaking it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They do speak English, but in spoken Kiwi, they convert 75% of their vowels to a short i.

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

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.

Sounds just like the fruit.

When it ran away was pretty great.

“Until next time”

My job here is done! Away!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I can hear the dinosaur in it…

slowed down would sound like the stereotypical t-rex

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

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months 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] 24 points 2 months ago

So melodious.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Also a very interesting run style.

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

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

I don't believe this is a real animal.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

It's a fruit

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Birds aren't real

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

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

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

Screams of a thousand dark souls...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's some Jurassic Park stuff, right there

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Holy piss I did not expect that

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Sounds like a slipping serpentine belt.

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

Sounds like one of my 10 alarms, all with different tones, to make sure I wake up. This one is Krypton on Android.

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

Imagine you're camping, it's 2:00 a.m., and you hear that noise!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (3 children)

This reminds me so much of the scrabs of Oddworld

Who triggered the robot's theft alarm?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They are brown - just looks like that with the spotlight

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

Kiiiiii wiiiiiiii

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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It sounded exactly how I expected.

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

I expected more of a little squeaky "Wehh!"
