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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

100%. Its clearly happening.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I dont think thats how statistics work.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yes - it’s a funny face

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 days ago

This is AT LEAST moderately interesting!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Whatever it's looking at is FUCKED.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

You gotta use 'Deep escape' against an osprey.

"Ignore" la la laaaa I'm fineeee

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Crazy that these things can also take off and land vertically

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

Seven ospreys diving in tight formation

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Love that last frame. Bird is like GIMME.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Big stretch

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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

Kinda looks like Hobbes when tackling Calvin.

Queen of the Harpies, queen of the harpies!

[–] [email protected] 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"
