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.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] Haus@kbin.earth 8 points 1 year 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.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

When it ran away was pretty great.

“Until next time”

My job here is done! Away!

[–] sircac@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I can hear the dinosaur in it…

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

slowed down would sound like the stereotypical t-rex

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year 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.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

So melodious.

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

Also a very interesting run style.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't believe this is a real animal.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

It's a fruit

[–] thegreatgarbo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Birds aren't real

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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

Screams of a thousand dark souls...

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's some Jurassic Park stuff, right there

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 14 points 1 year ago

Holy piss I did not expect that

[–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a slipping serpentine belt.

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This reminds me so much of the scrabs of Oddworld

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

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are brown - just looks like that with the spotlight

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] macrocarpa@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

Kiiiiii wiiiiiiii

[–] Syd@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Who triggered the robot's theft alarm?

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It sounded exactly how I expected.
