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 was going to make a morbid joke about the driver having already fallen off and into the blades before you took the photo, but the fact that there's no seat on that mower defeated that plan.

The lack of seat is why they fell off!
Not bad, not bad at all.

It's an old flash game where falling off of your lawnmower and getting mown by it wasn't an uncommon occurrence.
Ahh, ok, lol. Yeah, never played it. Thanks for sharing.

I was there with a group of parents and kids for a teen meetup. We did think he fell off at first. Then it turned by itself and we were all like "wtf?"
Well I'm glad it ended up being automated.

In this particular instance, I am sort of indifferent about it, because I don't think sitting on a riding mower is an especially taxing job and the guy still had to be there to put it in the right place and make sure nothing went wrong.
