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'm a bit late to the party, but you can buy small ones of these for your own yards:

I've seen a couple of these on smallish business lawns.

My Landroid is cool. AMA I guess?

I spent a few days working at a house with 4 of the Husqvarna versions. I had a really good time watching them all take off and do a route and dock all minding their own business. The really cool part is you never even see your grass grow because it's always being maintained.

I've seen the small ones, but I totally didn't expect that.

I've never seen a big one like that either.
