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.

You get that fish feel pain right? Would this still be considered funny if that was a domestic cat in excruciating pain and terrified?

Why are you upset at nature being brutal? Should we put the osprey on trial for crimes against fishdom?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

What's the point. The osprey are so well connected it's never even gonna go to trial - mark my words.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It's not nature being "brutal" that's the issue (I wouldn't even call it brutal because nature is what it is regardless of how we feel about it) - the issue is humans mocking or taking delight in an animal's pain.

Yes - it’s a funny face

What are the chances of 7 birds doing this thing in a row!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

100%. Its clearly happening.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I dont think thats how statistics work.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

It's 50 50 sometimes it do sometimes it don't

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yes that's the joke

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

This is AT LEAST moderately interesting!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Whatever it's looking at is FUCKED.

You gotta use 'Deep escape' against an osprey.

"Ignore" la la laaaa I'm fineeee

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

"Eat" would be a story passed down for generations if successful.. Any RNG on this game? 😉

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

From what I've seen they miss a good percentage of the time. But they can also bring up pretty big fish.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Huh, that final pose does kinda look like the Osprey aircraft. I always thought they named it after the bird because it sounded cool.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Crazy that these things can also take off and land vertically

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

And can kill 16 marines in the blink of an eye.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

More than mildly interesting.

I’m guessing there are probably private security company logos and hunting gear logos based on that final pose.

I thought this was gonna be some animorphs shenanigans from the thumbnail

I wonder why they all follow each other into the water!?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Love that last frame. Bird is like GIMME.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Those talons in the final shot look so much like Predator's mouth.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Big stretch

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

there's a video view from under the water where a bid of prey swoops in to grab a fish. it's neato too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Actually saw one diving the other day while biking by the river. Beautiful birds.

Kinda looks like Hobbes when tackling Calvin.

Looks like The Predator
