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 can hear the dinosaur in it…

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago

Like it ate a little dinosaur? But how??

[–] thegreatgarbo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Husband: I want one of those! /s

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

[–] stelelor@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

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

When it ran away was pretty great.

My job here is done! Away!

“Until next time”

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don't believe this is a real animal.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

It's a fruit

[–] thegreatgarbo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Birds aren't real

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] LennethAegis@fedia.io 2 points 19 hours ago

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

[–] oce@jlai.lu 118 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

I like how it leaves in a swiggity swooty fashion.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 18 hours ago

Truly a doofus of a bird.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days 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.

[–] tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

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

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 80 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

All birds use their dinosaur voices.

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 83 points 2 days ago (7 children)

I thought kiwis spoke English.

[–] jrwperformance@lemmy.world 58 points 2 days ago

Nightmare Potato.

[–] Skates@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] macrocarpa@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

Kiiiiii wiiiiiiii

[–] Syd@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 50 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] thegreatgarbo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a 'wtf was that!' expression.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 days ago

As it goes with Min-Pins, he couldn't give less of a shit the second time around. He's over it.

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

My cat just had a very similar response =)

Screams of a thousand dark souls...

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days 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.

Sounds just like the fruit.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

slowed down would sound like the stereotypical t-rex

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 24 points 2 days ago

Also a very interesting run style.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

So melodious.

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

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

That's some Jurassic Park stuff, right there

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They are brown - just looks like that with the spotlight

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

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

[–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 2 days ago

Sounds like a slipping serpentine belt.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 14 points 2 days ago

Holy piss I did not expect that
