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.

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

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

100%. Its clearly happening.

[–] Deepus@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I dont think thats how statistics work.

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

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago

Yes that's the joke

Air traffic control needs to get its shit together, there could have been a hell of a mid-air collision.

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

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 3 points 4 days ago

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

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yes - it’s a funny face

[–] gressen@lemm.ee 28 points 4 days ago

This is AT LEAST moderately interesting!

[–] starkzarn@infosec.pub 12 points 4 days ago

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

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Whatever it's looking at is FUCKED.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 30 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

You gotta use Deep Escape against an osprey.

Odell Lake

"Ignore" la la laaaa I'm fineeee

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

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 17 points 4 days 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.

[–] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Crazy that these things can also take off and land vertically

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

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

[–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 13 points 4 days ago

More than mildly interesting.

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

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 11 points 4 days ago

Seven ospreys diving in tight formation

Love that last frame. Bird is like GIMME.

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

[–] onyxjet@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago
[–] Flamangoman@leminal.space 5 points 4 days ago

Big stretch

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days 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.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

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

Me reaching for that deluxe quarter pounder with cheese

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Kinda looks like Hobbes when tackling Calvin.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Queen of the Harpies, queen of the harpies!

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Here's your crown your majesty!

Actually for a second I was thinking Princess Bride, but that's yelling about the Queen of Refuse, Slime, etc.

Now I want to see a montage of people from various media angrily shouting "Queen of X"
