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’m in a park. The grass is being mown by a robot. (lemmy.world)

We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

Starts of nice and calmly, then the editor goes full on with the metal music thrashing for the title sequence. What a trip!

This better not have put someone out of the job

i'm more worried about giving robots literal weapons but that's also a very good point too.

It didn't. The guy was still there to get the robot to its location and make sure it was working all right and I'm guessing he still had other maintenance to do in the park beyond mowing. But he did get to stay out of the sun on a hot day.

that's not a fucking combusion engine is it? a robot mower that runs on gasoline would be the stupidest thing i've seen in a while.

Am I alone in thinking it should be "is being mowed" because "mown" is a resultant property of the grass? Like being melted and being molten. Or is it one of these things non-native speakers develop a keen intuition for to be able to spot it just to be blind-sided by native speakers not giving a fuck.
