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 don't get it, don't you guys have a lawn bot at home? Who in their right mind would mow their lawn by hand these days? Sure, this is scaled up by a considerate amount, but its the same technology (though I imagine this boy uses beacons for navigation as opposed to gps or wire).

We have 1 1/2 acres. Mowing it by hand, even with a self-propelled mower, sucks. Especially in August. If we could afford a lawn bot, we'd definitely get one.

Ok, that's quite a lot, wow! Consumer grade bots won't cut it. You'd need at least 3 of them to make it work somehow.
