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.

Fun fact, ostrich eggs are nearing The largest land eggs can physically get, so even the dinosaurs didn't have much bigger eggs.

I'm no Ostrich expert, but I think that egg is defective if it has yet to hatch in 30 years.

You should get a refund

Someone gave me an emu egg years ago, and I proudly displayed it for a long time. Then I got cats, and realized quickly that I should put it away.

How do you even get your hands on a cassowary egg and not die a horrible death. Emu’s are chill as long as you’re a guy

Turns out you are right! I was just copying the caption, but I’ll fix it.

Or what, you'll cuddle me?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, with my snuggle-talons. It’s a once in a lifetime experience.
