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.

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

that mechine can throw rocks hundreds of feet. Did it shut itself down like safety demands when you are that close?

I didn't want to get close enough to find out.

Could you try throwing rocks in front of it to find out?

Could I? Yes. Would I? I'd prefer to keep myself out of legal trouble.

What is the precedent for persecuting a squid, in your jurisdiction?

I don't know, but I'm guessing throwing a rock at a robot lawn mower and having it knock it away and across the park and hit some six-year-old on the playground might be frowned upon even if a mollusc does it.
