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.

Mowing over a tennis ball isn't harmful, I don't see what this would prove.

Fortunately, most animals do not willingly go anywhere near running combustion engines.

You should meet my dog. A decent robot would be more likely to quickly stop than most human lawn mower drivers though I think.
