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!

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.
