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.

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

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

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

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

Kiiiiii wiiiiiiii

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

I can hear the dinosaur in it…

Like it ate a little dinosaur? But how??

Husband: I want one of those! /s

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

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

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

When it ran away was pretty great.

That sounds like a pokemon

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

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

They are brown - just looks like that with the spotlight

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

what brand and model of flashlight were you using for that video?

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

He created a small supernova contained by an energy field that requires similar power than what is used by CERN..

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks 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.

And that's what you really need to wake up

Who triggered the robot's theft alarm?

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

Well, kiwis are clearly evil. I never knew! I've always liked the little buggers, and felt bad for them with the whole giant egg situation.

But that's a demon. It deserves egg pain. Shame it only gets the females.

Sounds just like the fruit.
